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.

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)

so how was it?

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 27 June 2004 01:41 (twenty-one years ago)

wow. skip tracer owned. jim was o, kinda kept in the background, but he was having fun with lee (who got 2.. or was it 3?) songs. kim went all patti smith, varying between gat and bass, and even trumpet on the last song. they played a big mish-mash of material, and one dude basically dry-humped thurston - who kept playing - then fought him to the ground, it was hilarious, going on for a good 5 minutes while the others were in a groove, the dude finally got up and stole a kiss from kim, before the security gaurds hastened his jump into the crowd.

it all started real early (8pm) so i missed kneale, but mascis was funny, he'd switch from acoustic drool to rock-god overdrive in a fumbling breath.. played a short set, sonic youth started early, played for quite a while, including 3 encores.

― chris andrews (fraew), Sunday, 27 June 2004 03:31 (twenty-one years ago)

that dude = dyl4n ph4razon from f0t0. it's entirely possible that stunt was an attempt to piss off his thurston-worshipping ex-gf!

lee got "skip tracer" & "paper cup exit", + did backing vocals on about three songs.
kim pogoing & pirouetting to "drunken butterfly" in heels! lee swinging his guitar at him who then whipped him with a lead!! getting to touch lee & jim!!! PLUR!!!!

― etc, Sunday, 27 June 2004 06:27 (twenty-one years ago)

It was wonderful. Best Sy I've seen, I'm pretty sure. Seemed more like a band having a good time (Kim looked RELAXED and COMMANDING at times even, looked good in that dress, MADE A JOKE!), rather than WE ARE SY, or whatever, y'know. Jim makes more of a diff live than on record maybe. Thurston remains a giant hot indiekid w/stickers all over his guitar. Steve is funky.

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 27 June 2004 13:50 (twenty-one years ago)

and hunky

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Monday, 28 June 2004 01:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha. ILM just told me Lee tends to do either Skip Tracer or MOTE for his old song. MOTE! MOTE! I mean I really really adore Skip Tracer but MOTE

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 28 June 2004 11:05 (twenty-one years ago)

or HEY JONI! tho mote & skip tracer are k-fuckin rad (hearing him recite "the guitar guy played real good feedback" was pretty cool); pity they don't do wish fulfillment. i'm gonna see how well all of lee's songs fit on a cdr. btw andrew, what were the band's problems w/lee around the time of experimental jet set? haven't heard anything about them (or, uh, that album).

― etc, Monday, 28 June 2004 21:18 (twenty-one years ago)

lee renaldo is totally the george harrison of the group, stealthily writing the best songs while the others get all the attention

― chris andrews (fraew), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 00:59 (twenty-one years ago)

You said it was their best album once. Uh I dunno, just general personal shit I guess.

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 03:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Also it was meant to be Kim and Thurston's band really

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 03:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Wasn't the personal shit around Dirty 'cause they wouldn't put Genetic on the album and didn't want Wish Fulfillment there either?

― hsimah (hamish), Tuesday, 29 June 2004 03:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah but I was trying to think of why they didn't want "Genetic" on Dirty in the first place. Kind of terrible cos it's about their best ROCK song ever, maybe they were embarrassed Lee was doing the best at it. Me and Elisabeth yelled for it at the gig, didn't work
