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

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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

Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 00:52 (nineteen years ago) link

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).

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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?

We arrived late, y'know. Fuck support bands

Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 14:39 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (twelve years ago) link

he's also dating thurston

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

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 (twelve years ago) link

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 (nine years ago) link

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 (nine years ago) link

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

Treeship, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 04:42 (nine years ago) link

i too form opinions based on anecdotes

internet explorer (am0n), Tuesday, 25 November 2014 17:09 (nine years ago) link

lag∞n, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 20:06 (nine years ago) link

I think I've made my case honestly

Treeship, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 20:09 (nine years ago) link

You mean Thurston's cousin Winston?

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

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

Anyone ever heard the Sonic Youth folk do an admiration for Hawkwind. Rolling through the pines of Virginia jamming both Goo and Doremi Fasol Latido, I seemed to notice how similar the stoned gallop of "Lord of Light" is to many Sonic Youth numbers. It was more the groove and the drone than anything.

A obscure place to tell us about it...

btw, there ws an interview with "Lost Voice Man" on the news last night, behind him was a wall of albums in frames. I saw Thriller, Unknown Pleasures, 1977 (Ash), and Sonic Youth's Goo.

So, hey.
