Roundhouse Reviews
 

A couple of Roundhouse reviews if anyone's interested. A good one from the Observer and a twat one from The Times. I must have missed them playing "Eric’s Tune"!

the guardian one was boring, i read that at the train station.

What a twat. The fact he was PAID to go to a sonic youth concert and spit out that tosser babble sickens me to my stomach.

Here's another.

The Times are a bunch of utter complete knob cheeses so what they say has no validity AT ALL.

I missed THAT?

They probably didn't even go to the gigs, maybe they just listened to the album then wrote the reviews!

the times guy left before the encores at the very least. no mention of them.

"eric's tune"?

he just sounds like he wasn't interested in the slightest - in fact he sounds more interested in bad similies. they should get a music fan to write the music reviews.

"There was something indubitably thrilling about the performance, rather like watching a volcano exploding or an avalanche of rocks tumbling down a mountain slope. And there was a palpable sense of occasion as they ended with Eliminator Jr, Gordon wailing like a cat with its tail caught in a lawnmower, over the brutal, scrubbing riff."

how can you surmise like that and then score it a 3?

the guardian one is a nice (if predictable) write up, though the guy is clearly a sonic youth fan (or at least of daydream nation) so may have written that no matter how good it was. at least he stayed for the encores!!

Actually, it was Thurston who said that, on Thursday night.

i heard lee say that on friday, or something very similar

"lets move into the 21st centuary" was what he said on the friday

I thought you didn't go to friday's show..

yeah he did, remember being intimidated by him after the show?

I was not intimidated! I thought he looked suave. But yeah, I thought he'd not attended the show, that was the impression I got.

im confused some people say they filmed all of the roundhouse shows because there was a camera at the sound booth and some said they didnt see any cameras so whats the truth ?

I went Saturday night, I just got back from London about 2 hours ago. What a fucking great gig. Ending with Expressway To Yr Skull. Couldn't be better. I'm sure I saw Sonicl outside, but I wasnt 100%.

yeah he did - on thursday. I remember appluading the present tense and shouting it out.

Wow, that's the attitude!
