SONIC YOUTH ROLL CALL - Early Show
What do you folks think of the record? I think it's easily one of the best things they've done in a long time, and I LOVED Murray Street.
second show– What time is sonic tooth going on? i have tickets, but i have to work until 11:30. any guesses?

also find it interesting that the second show hasn't sold out.[/QB]

Should still be a good show though, both times I've seen them they were good.

It was an excellent first Sonic Youth experience for me. I think my neck hurts from staring up at Thurston.
it was SO GOOD!
y'all are whack

Yea, Thurston was amazing. I want him to tell us more stories about 'grits…that were historic'. Plus the music/feedback was amazing. props to ranaldo for breaking out a bow on that one song.

I thought it was great. It started out fairly low energy, but they started to really hit stride about half way in. 100% and the other song from Dirty were worth the price of admission by themselves.
I haven't heard Rather Ripped yet, but am pretty inspired to pick it up.
Anyone know the complete lyrics or general meaning of Do You Believe in Rapture? Please tell me my favorite band isn't Jesus freaks.

I agree with Matts. The show started slowly. I found Kim's slow-tempo, deep-voiced singing almost somnambulent at the beginning. I'm not sure if it was me (because I came straight from work and maybe wasn't in the proper mood yet) or the new material (which hasn't had time to grow on me yet). But right around a half hour into the show, it really picked up and the rest of the show was excellent. I would have liked to have had more Thurston songs as well. They were the highlights of the show as far as I'm concerned.
I left work early and I still missed Be Your Own Pet. Were they any good?
