No problem!

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)

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

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

― 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)

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

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/
