Record Store Day is April 21 and they've just announced the full list of exclusive, limited edition titles that will be available, including records by Arcade Fire, The National, Quicksand, Fleetwood Mac, Kevin Shields/Brian Eno, and more.

When asked about whether My Bloody Valentine would really be releasing an album in 2018, Kevin Shields told Pitchfork, "We’re trying to do gigs starting in the summer. We’re going to play live again, so that’s always a really good way to guarantee that we’ll get the record done." Whether or not we get that new album -- Kevin says they “100% will” -- they're definitely playing shows. Or at least one show.

Kendrick Lamar appears on the list four times, including at #2 for "DNA."... can you guess who beats him for #1?

He's also promising that MBV will tour again, starting this summer, and he discussed the upcoming all-analog reissues of Isn't Anything and Loveless.
