Sonic Youth Playing DN! (3 Viewers)

[s-p-a-c-e-d]

Why couldn't this be Glasgow, then we could see Slint as well.

But still, these concerts are very cool.

 

[walrusbear]

everyone else got tix?

 

[icecreamdisco]

i got miiiiine.

 

[Aznpsycho]

Bought!

$66 in person - that extra four dollars or so went down my gullet at Manning.

Also, who are the Scientists anyway?

 

[LaurenceBM]

Got mine!

And the Scientists are amazing, that's almost as good as SY: original Australian grunge punk noise stuff (think, like, Cosmic Psychos). The EP they're doing is a great one.

 

[chelsea girl]

i also have purchased my ticket.
can. not. wait.

 

[icecreamdisco]

the scientists are really good, at least from the few songs i've heard. they tend to pop up on rage guest programs, with effusive introductions by bands who chalk up their relative obscurity to how out-of-sync their variety of styles were with the current musical trends of their time.

i'll try and familiarise myself with 'blood red river', in an effort to make feb 18th extra-special.

 

[LaurenceBM]

You can buy it with a bunch of bloody brilliant bonus tracks.

 

[icecreamdisco]

best possible heckle for this show: "play your new stuff!"

 

[icecreamdisco]

or desperately requesting the next song they're going to play in between songs.

 

[LaurenceBM]

They both do sound wonderful. I'm going to wear a Sonic Nurse T-Shirt to get into the spirit of heckling!

 

[Aznpsycho]

Screw you guys, I'm a Daydream Nation man myself. Their newer stuff is hardly bad but pales completely to Daydream Nation.

And for that I am happy.

 

[icecreamdisco]

Screw you guys, I'm a Daydream Nation man myself. Their newer stuff is hardly bad but pales completely to Daydream Nation.

And for that I am happy.

oh, i absolutely agree - that's why telling them to play their new stuff would make such a great heckle.

i do like their last few records, but more in the context of their career; their persistance is admirable. a bit like watching an old person sprint a 50m race.

 

[LaurenceBM]

oh, i absolutely agree - that's why telling them to play their new stuff would make such a great heckle.

I was joking too. I like their new stuff a lot but, for me, the top 5 is:

1. Sister
2. Confusion is Sex
3. Goo
4. Daydream Nation
5. EVOL

 

[Aznpsycho]

Only good song on Sister is Schizophrenia. Sorry. Catholic Block if I'm in a good mood.

 

[LaurenceBM]

Wrong. Sorry.

 

[LaurenceBM]

Btw I don't mean to sound like an asshole (whoops), I just mean there's no need to apologise as your opinion doesn't really matter on my enjoyment of an album.

 

[walrusbear]

especially one as good as sister

but then again
goo better than DN, wtf?

 

[icecreamdisco]

1. sister
2. bad moon rising
3. daydream nation
4. evol
5. a thousand leaves

i'm cooler than all of you.

 

[LaurenceBM]

No, I definitely win pretensious asshole award for Confusion is Sex. Although I did mention that MAINSTREAM HACK SELLOUT Goo so I guess that evens it.

but then again
goo better than DN, wtf?

Sorry dude, I sez wot I hears. I love Goo.
