SYR9 referenced on messageboard in another language?
 
Somehow I found this... (scroll down a few posts, to the person with the Jim O'Roarke album avatar), anyone make heads or tales of it?

nic... I have dialup right now... what's the youtube clip?

nicfit 07.30.2008 12:32 PM

ah, a hilarious band playing live in a club called "Merkattu maa", to my understanding...

o o o 07.30.2008 12:36 PM

Merkattu maa is apparently the name of the band:

http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkattu_Maa

You can also find their lyrics online if you're interested.

noisereductions 07.30.2008 12:37 PM

So do we have any proof that this band worked with SY, or is this some Finnish dude's idea of a joke?

SYRFox 07.30.2008 12:38 PM

I think they're just joking about how SYR9 should be a collaboration between SY and this band... I may be wrong though

ha ha yes that's what I was trying to say but my bad grammar make it look like the club was called "merkattu maa" raher than the band....

nicfit 07.30.2008 12:39 PM

I think it's all a joke
like we posted something about a syr with Sonic Youth and Enrique Iglesias.

noisereductions 07.30.2008 12:41 PM

o o o 07.30.2008 12:42 PM

Lets all forget we were semi-fooled by this and never speak of it again.

Just everyone please silently vow never to buy a Merkattu Maa record, for christ's sake.

noisereductions 07.30.2008 01:15 PM

I do wonder of atsonicpark is okay these days, he seems to post random incoherant nonesense at inappropriate times, and reps me for reasons I don't understand.

I didn't say stop though.

noisereductions 07.30.2008 01:28 PM

yeah. sometimes he's ok. but other times I think he's on drugs.

nicfit 07.30.2008 01:36 PM

robotrippin' is not a crime!

noisereductions 07.30.2008 01:59 PM
