the WXYC studio for a live chat. Johnston has been earning acclaim since

released this summer. Hosts Ashley, Eric and Sam will give you an inside

MY BLOODY VALENTINE'S "LOVELESS" on the Classic Inside Track, Sunday 2-3
p.m.
This week's Classic Inside Track commemorates the tenth anniversary of My
Bloody Valentine's "Loveless" compliments of Eric C. Leading figures of
the shoegazer movement that dominated Britain's indie rock scene in the
late '80s and early '90s, MBV crafted gorgeous melodies from raw white
noise directly inspiring such artists as Mogwai, The Verve, Primal Scream,
Yo La Tengo and J. Mascis, and indirectly influencing just about everyone
else. 

A discussion of SPIRITUALITY on Northern Hemisphere Live, Sunday 5-7 p.m.
