WTF was with Kimmel show??
 
Were their cameramen told 'show Lee as little as possible, he makes the band look old'. The poor dude had about 3 seconds of screen time during the whole performance...otherwise...really FUCKING SLICK!!!

Did the camera guy really say that?
I didn't see it on TV, but I was there in the audience but towards the back. It was a lot of fun and they ended up playing 9 songs I think.

9?
I thought they always did 1 or 2

noisemachine 07.12.2006 11:25 AM

They televised two but they played 9.
They played:

Incinerate
Reena
What a Waste
Rats
Rapture
Catholic Block
Jams Run Free
Pink Steam
Shaking Hell

sounds like a good set

noisemachine 07.12.2006 11:33 AM

Yeah, it was a lot of fun. It turned out well because before the show, the staff people were saying that since they were gonna be taping extra segments for the show or whatever that people were gonna have to choose between seeing the studio portion of the show and seeing Sonic Youth, but there was a small chance that people in the studio would be able to see both. So I decided to gamble and sit in the studio, and sure enough in the end we get to see both. So it was an awesome night...
seeing Lance Armstrong, Tracy Morgan, Shaun Alexander and Danica Patrick (who is freaking hot) and Sonic Youth!

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 07.12.2006 11:37 AM

Sounds awesome, I missed the show. Forgot about it.

Now, I can't say the camermen were TOLD that, I'm just speculating.. LOL sounds like it was a really good show, the televised portion was flippin' amazing

soniknirve 07.12.2006 11:57 AM

it's obvious that no one had any idea who sonic youth were. the camera was on thurston 95% of the time. they prob thought he was a solo artist and everyone else was part of his back up band. fucking clueless tards...

That's cool, I was wondering how many songs they played.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 07.12.2006 12:30 PM

whos this guy in the yellow ive been seeing a lot?

foldback 07.12.2006 12:32 PM

They sounded pretty good again, but TV focusing on the singer and no one else really isn't anything new, sadly.

Also, guy in the yellow shirt = Pavement alum Mark Ibold

mooger_fooger 07.12.2006 12:32 PM

Thurston Moore AND Sonic Youth LOL

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 07.12.2006 12:33 PM

oh.

val-holla-ing 07.12.2006 12:34 PM

you mean thurston moore and THE sonic youthS.

thank you london!

Tokolosh 07.12.2006 12:48 PM

That song sounds better everytime I hear it. Nice setlist.

finding nobody 07.12.2006 02:09 PM

the songs verses were cut short. i liked letterman better

i was expecting a small audience like a late night show. but this was like a concert. there was no chance at all of hearing kegmama

kingcoffee 07.12.2006 02:40 PM

I hate Jimmy Kimmel.

kingcoffee 07.12.2006 02:41 PM

I don't really like it when bands play the same song twice on separate tv appearances. It bores me. I thought they should have played something other than Incinerate. Maybe Rats. Give Lee some goddamn tv time. It;s always Thurston or Kim. lee writes songs too, guys!
