Did anyone here go to the Sonic Youth gig on either Thursday June 17th or Friday June 18th?

yeah i was on the barrier

i rule.

 

[walrusbear]

i was behind the people on the barrier

 

[Lady_Disdain]

Which night did you go to, Thursday or Friday? I was right up on the barried as well...

Thurston and Kim <3

 

[walrusbear]

thurs

 

[Lady_Disdain]

I went on Friday (obviously)

 

[stamos]

thursday

thurston is the most entertaining until his amp breaks and he has no fucking idea what to do

edit: why 'obviously'?

 

[Lady_Disdain]

Because cassette played on Thursday night whereas The follow played on Friday night, and since I saw the follow and not cassette it would mean that I went on the 18th!!

 

[walrusbear]

that equipment failure was pretty frustrating!

they were trying to play empty page too, and i really like that song

 

[Lady_Disdain]

You could barely hear Kim and Thurston above the instruments

 

[walrusbear]

they were sometimes drowned out
i had trouble hearing thurston's vocals at the start of schizophrenia, but maybe he was singing too softly.
kim's vocals were usually piercing enough to be very audible

oh.... right

all i remembered about cassette was the horrific onstage banter, not the name

"hey everybody! this garden gnome is like our onstage mascot *giggle*"

The follow were pretty good, they are friends of my friend Robin's friend Catinabox.

 

[um..]

it was sensational, how funny was jay masicus (never knew that was how you spelt it) not even talking through his whole set

and thurston: we should get these two dudes up on stage to make out


oh and they played schizophrenia!

 

[walrusbear]

schizophrenia was genius
were you pissed with the setlist um..?
i know you're not a murray street fan and have you heard much of sonic nurse?

 

[um..]

yer, i was happy to get what i did i guess. for one, i enjoyed myself more than radiohead *braces for attack* and i was so happy with schizophrenia and especially skip tracer (i was actually thinking right before ronaldo went into it, fuck skip tracer would be good atm) and tom violence was a great closer. i would have liked the diamond sea though.

edit: and yeah i like that first song off sonic nurse, i think it was like the one they played before or after schizophrenia, and i also like disconnection notice, which they didnt play, but other than that yeah im not the greatest fan of either album. although they're both better than nyc ghost and flowers

 

[anna's ghost]

i think we all would have liked diamond sea

the setlist wasn't too bad...it's safe now, though

on my wall

edit: she really needs to change the spelling of mascis

 

[um..]

thats what i though! im like, why would you pronounce masicus mascus? i'd honestly never noticed the spelling of his name though
