― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Monday, 5 April 2004 10:17 (twenty-two years ago)

That sounds comfortable.

― Livvie (Livvie), Monday, 5 April 2004 10:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Shut up or I'll crush yr windpipe w/my very MIND

No problem!

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Monday, 5 April 2004 13:42 (twenty-two years ago)

i dreamed about sonic youth last night! i dreamed that they came down here and did a private unplugged concert just for everyone from IRE! and they were really really nice! (though lee was rude to me and steve shelley hit on me which for some reason i found uncomfortable). they gave us all lots of free CDs!

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Monday, 5 April 2004 23:46 (twenty-two years ago)

sonic youth unplugged!

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 00:05 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah wtf!

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 01:35 (twenty-two years ago)

My mum would probably like it, she likes the quiet part of "Diamond Sea". I've dreamed about Sonic Youth before though I forget what happened.

― Livvie (Livvie), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 02:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey so Livvie are we gonna get to meet your mum?

― Minty (Minty), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 09:37 (twenty-two years ago)

&no-one's buying stink "seated" tickets, right?

― Minty (Minty), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 10:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I've dreamt about Sonic Youth like 3 times, in one I made them dinner and it was mince, tofu and mushrooms with a scoop of ice cream on top. They really enjoyed it!

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 10:56 (twenty-two years ago)

"Don't forget the icecream!"

― Kim Gordon (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 11:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I was so envious of that dream!

― Livvie (Livvie), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 11:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I was too. I don't think I was in it, was I? That'd rule.

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 11:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Cooking for Sonic Youth? Wow! I'm paralysed by jealousy. I'd cook them something a damn sight better than your manky creme de mushies mince and tofu, tho.

― Minty (Minty), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 11:55 (twenty-two years ago)

how bout some melon?

― sonic youth sucks, Friday, 9 April 2004 01:03 (twenty-two years ago)

That's one way of meeting people, I suppose.

― Minty (Minty), Friday, 9 April 2004 01:17 (twenty-two years ago)

hey & Missy E playing earlier in the same month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

― cuspidorian (cuspidorian), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 11:54 (twenty-two years ago)

two weeks pass...

hey di - are you still going?, im up just for the weekend of the gig, shacking up on k road with the die!die!die! guys..

― chris andrews (fraew), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 04:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Has ANYONE bought tickets for this yet? I'm getting increasingly certain I won't get in, oh well.

― Livvie (Livvie), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 12:18 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah i bought mine about 2 weeks ago.. there seemed to be quite a few available at the time, might have changed by now though

― chris andrews (fraew), Tuesday, 4 May 2004 20:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I guess it's not that big a deal if I miss out cause it saves me $65 if I don't get in. Hey Chris this will maybe sound a bit stalkerish but I see you round Christchurch a bit, you prob. don't know who I am though.

― Livvie (Livvie), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 09:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I think you'll get in really. I don't think I've ever been IDed at the St James, it's kinda a weird venue. Like if they'd ID you they'd probably have IDed me in the past.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 10:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey! You should come on AIM. I'm listening to Di on the radio.

― Livvie (Livvie), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 11:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah I wouldn't worry about it Livvie, I went to gigs at the St. James when I was underage. I'm not even sure it's an r18 venue, I remember one time they stamped my hand to say I couldn't drink.

― Minty (Minty), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 11:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Okay I WILL buy a ticket. Maybe even tomorrow or Friday! As should you all.

― Livvie (Livvie), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 12:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah buy a ticket! Serious! Yo! I should sleep!

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 13:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I should be able to afford a ticket next week, if the boys from d1e! d1e! d1e! pay me the money for the power bill, cough cough cough. & yeah, wasn't ID'd at the St James the one time I've been there.

― etc, Wednesday, 5 May 2004 15:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I know some people planning to take their nine year old (who's a fan of dirty)

― cuspidorian (cuspidorian), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 20:15 (twenty-two years ago)

awesome, looks like a party. i still have no fucking idea who etc is..

― chris andrews (fraew), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 20:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah but kids w/ their parents is different. STILL, worth it for a chance to see SY.

― Livvie (Livvie), Thursday, 6 May 2004 04:06 (twenty-two years ago)

There you go, bring yr mum

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 6 May 2004 05:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I had a Sonic Youth dream last night!
they had an afternoon gig before the night they played. They covered Violent Femmes "heartache", a really good hard thrashy song, Kim was drumming, really amazingly.
But I started realising I wouldn't be able to afford to go to the night time gig (gee I wonder why that came up!)

― cuspidorian (cuspidorian), Thursday, 6 May 2004 21:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I had a stupid dream about my Mum deciding she was gay and wanting me to get her into the SCENE last night, I just remembered. She had a strapon and was being VERY annoying. And for the sake of this thread um she THEN joined Sonic Youth and they played a great gig! Rock!

― Mr Mime (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 9 May 2004 13:40 (twenty-two years ago)

chris, i'm not going now :-(. i'm saving up to go to tucson instead.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 9 May 2004 21:34 (twenty-two years ago)

tuscon? what the fuck?

― chris andrews (fraew), Monday, 10 May 2004 00:24 (twenty-two years ago)

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Monday, 10 May 2004 00:39 (twenty-two years ago)

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Tuesday, 22 June 2004 11:21 (twenty-one years ago)

"Skip Tracer" is solid! Lyrics are kind of mean tho, SY don't really have room to be making fun of other bands' lyrics.

the title track is so amazing though, the middle section, particularly when they start playing that harmonics/feedback riff, is the ideal of what I listen to them for.

― JoeStork, Sunday, 12 December 2021 19:16 (four years ago)

A super sounding riff one might say

100% cosign, a real highlight of their work

this article was pretty good, imo, but the cbgb bootleg embedded within is outstanding, with some blistering versions of daydream nation tracks: https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/sonic-youth-and-the-business-of-keeping-a-dead-band-alive/
