The library has: Music never stopped, American Beauty, Workingmans Dead, Wake of the Flood, Dead Ahead, and Terrapin Station; and also Grayfolded which I haven't got round to getting out yet but I liked the excerpt on the Plunderphonics 2cd.

This doesn't exactly shock me!

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 11:00 (twenty-one years ago)

The first time I read this I thought there was a Sonic Youth album I didn't know about called Ejstans. Did anyone see the Sonic Youth interview on intellectual property (ew) tonight? It wasn't v exciting. Then they played the video for Youth Against Fascism, geewhiz.

What a choice song that is

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 11:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I like how it has Ian MacKaye on it tho

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 11:20 (twenty-one years ago)

ha ah "intellectual property" that cracks me up how their indie rock show is called that, don't they know "intellectuals" only listen to chart pop

― duane, Tuesday, 29 June 2004 12:07 (twenty-one years ago)

steven you don't need to haer experimental jet set, it's not very good.
whadda i know tho, i've (etc etc something or other something bla bla can't even think of a good joke here)

― duane, Tuesday, 29 June 2004 12:10 (twenty-one years ago)

elisabeth i just made you a tape, it's got lotsa real 'intellectual" stuff on it (here)
wow how uncanny the very next tape there is by you, UNCANNY

― duane, Tuesday, 29 June 2004 12:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm going to listen to it again soon, but I'm pretty sure it has about 5-7 good songs (out of about 14) which is USELESS for Sy

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 12:26 (twenty-one years ago)

It IS their low-fi/GBV/Riot Grrl album tho. Wonder why it sucked, those are certainly all their big strengths

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 12:35 (twenty-one years ago)

they played that same feckin SY song on intellectual property two weeks ago. and the same blonde redhead song. and then they played two songs they played last week, by unmemorable bands. and some franz ferdinand. fuck that show sucked tonight. wasn't steve shelley sexy though?

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 12:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh man that is UNCANNY. Do you have my address?

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 12:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey Di I'm sending yr tape tomorrow so check yr PO box like the day after or the day after that.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 12:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Hiphop etc vinyl's cheaper/about the same as Cds, mostly. Which rules when RG actually get what we want IN. "BLACK ALBUM" PLEASE.

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 13:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Experimental JetSet has two of my favourite SY songs on it: "bull in the heather" and "sweet shine" therefore I like it plenty. I don't know SY as well as most of you though.
I reckon "youth against fascism" is one of my least favourites.

― cuspidorian (cuspidorian), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 22:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Those are two of my fav things on it, esp "Sweet Shine".

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 00:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I wasn't planning on getting jet set; I stopped buying SY stuff since marc3l kept my copies of confusion is sex (which I liked a whole lot) & evol (which I'd just grudgingly made myself buy, blah blah anti-evol/sister but I was gonna reverse my position but then I never got to listen to it so FUCK EM).

― etc, Wednesday, 30 June 2004 08:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I like messing up the EJSTANS cd covers in Real Groovy. My favourite's the green one.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 10:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Are all you Lee worshippers forgetting that he wandered on stage reading (or pretending to read) a book? Blaaah.
I was kinda hoping that SY would follow "Skip Tracer" with a cover of "Shut Out". Mind you, if they did it would probably just have been annoying cos that song sucks.
Who the devil is Carrie Sterling?

― Minty (Minty), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 11:50 (twenty-one years ago)

We arrived late, y'know. Fuck support bands

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 14:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Would be good if they played the Walker Brothers one instead but I'm sure no-one would get the joke. But who cares it would rock anyways.

post thurston/kim breakup sonic youth sounds ... exactly the same!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ZBTk9fu_fN0
aside from that, mark ibold's presence here confuses me -- is he doing anything other than doubling kim's bass lines?

― tylerw, Tuesday, 15 November 2011 18:42 (fourteen years ago)

he's also dating thurston

― underrated erowid reports I have read (am0n), Tuesday, 15 November 2011 18:47 (fourteen years ago)

i know kim plays guitar on most of the more recent material, but for oldies sets like this, it seems like ibold is not doing a whole lot. sweet gig!

― tylerw, Tuesday, 15 November 2011 18:49 (fourteen years ago)

I was there in the crowd! But I don't believe this will be their last show. Kim walked off very quickly in the ending with Teenage Riot but Thurston stayed i the stage for some time and looked very emotional.

i don't get this band

― Treeship, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 04:29 (eleven years ago)

and also.... i don't know if i want to.

i like noisey guitars so maybe i am supposed to be obsessed with them. i knew someone who said he was related to thurston moore and he sucked. one of the worst people of all time.

― Treeship, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 04:42 (eleven years ago)

i think it's only fair to hold that against the band.

― Treeship, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 04:42 (eleven years ago)

i too form opinions based on anecdotes

― internet explorer (am0n), Tuesday, 25 November 2014 17:09 (eleven years ago)

i demand treesh acknowledge the greatness of sonic youth immediately

― lag∞n, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 17:12 (eleven years ago)

and im gonna lock you in this thread until you do

― lag∞n, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 17:13 (eleven years ago)

goon nuggying treesh until he cracks and says he loves SY

― my jaw left (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 25 November 2014 18:04 (eleven years ago)

would like to hear more about this sucky relative of thurston moore

― mattresslessness, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 18:10 (eleven years ago)

that relative is one of the worst ppl of all time is wut i herd

― internet explorer (am0n), Tuesday, 25 November 2014 20:01 (eleven years ago)

just plain bad stuff

― lag∞n, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 20:06 (eleven years ago)

I think I've made my case honestly

― Treeship, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 20:09 (eleven years ago)

You mean Thurston's cousin Winston?

― my jaw left (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 25 November 2014 20:11 (eleven years ago)

Have you heard 'schizophrenia'? It kinda sounds like Belle & Serb Ashton u might like it.
