Sonic Youth Week on Pitchfork.tv!
 

Sonic Youth Week on Pitchfork.tv!


A week's worth of exclusive Sonic Youth videos, starting June 8.

Sonic Youth are a glorious anomaly: A band who redrew the lines to suit themselves decades ago, but who still manage to find new directions for their own well-hewn aesthetic. They've played as large a part as anyone in shaping the indie rock universe as we know it today.

And the Sonic Youth universe continues to expand. On June 9, Matador will release their 16th album, The Eternal. To celebrate, we're letting them take over the video side of our website. Next week is Sonic Youth week on Pitchfork.tv!

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!

supa!

Awesome! Is this going to be like a one video a day sort of thing, or do we get to look forward to a smorgasbord of SY vids?

coooolio

i saw that, they are going to do an episode of the A-D-D series(its called something like that) where they record live a few songs on to a shitty old tascam tape for that ultra hip lo-fi sound. it should be great!

thanks mr moshe.

Groovy. Should be some good stuff on there. I've seen that interviewer before and he's kind of a tool, though. No Ibold in the interview?

Fucking excellent!
Thanks Moshe.

yep.

how does pitchfork tv work? will the videos be on there after next week too, in some kind of archive? can we go back and watch over and over again? or is it like a 1 off thing where if you miss it your fucked?

of course videos will be still on. there're many interesting things there already, check!

Cool!

thanks!

fookin' rules

i wanna save it, gotta figure out which software to useeee.
yeah Lee rocks!

I've already captured the videos. I can upload them on here right now, but i wanted to wait untill tomorrow when the second part will air.

If you want to get them too, i've searched for at least 10 softwares and Replay Media Catcher had the best results. It captures the stream as it is, without converting it at all. Also, there are no glitches or dropped frames.

if u find the right software please let me know what it is..i can't save it

thanks

thanks a lot andrei, will check that out asap!

Would be great if someone could save and upload them here. These vids are awesome performances.

i'm hoping the same...i can't afford the program that will capture it for me

Don't worry guys, it will be up tomorrow!

any idea when the interviews is on? all i can see is the 2 performances...

The interviews will be up Wednesday and Thursday.

It seems Lee is using a Fender Jaguar Baritone or HH.

I like how in Sacred Trickster you can see how Thurston uses his pedals.

I would of never thought he uses them in that way....

I use my ring mod like that sometimes.

Turning pedals on and off really quickly is something you don't think about, but it's cool

Sonic Youth Pitchfork.tv Week - A>D>D (FLV)

Well, What We Know is priceless. I can't wait to see them live playing stuff from The Eternal.

He did the same thing on Karen Koltrane (ATL 98)

Schizophrenia re-recorded?

schizo was weak, everything else especially calming the snake was amazing

Forgive my ignorance, but how does a Windows user play these? I have VLAN player and it says it plays .flv files, but nothing plays when I open these.

Thanks.
