So I'm about to loose my Sonic Youth live virginity...

This Is Not Here · 04.19.2009, 11:10 PM

After many years, I've seen almost every band I've felt a real need to see live, except the one band that means more to me than the rest put together. I'm flying out to Austria to Donau Festival this morning, and nothing goes hidiously wrong, that moment will have finally come.

SONIC. FUCKING. LIFE.

For those of you who won't be seeing SY any time soon, I leave you with perhaps the most sublime 4 minutes of footage ever - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRq6o2UjsTg

I've seen this before, but yeah, I love how into it Shelley is, it looks like a spiritual experience for him even haha. Also where is that topic with the setlists? How many concerts have they played lately, damn, are there any other new songs debuted >.>

greenlight · 04.19.2009, 11:25 PM

And one more thing, if you so stupid, that you have a record store right turning the corner and you don't buy this 7", it's not my fault that some guy already post them into the internet. I already have these mp3 from that server, and if someone wants to download, can go straight from this page or google it you moran! Maybe you should try taking a pill. And keep on giving me bad rep, you make my day easier, assh0l3. And if in this forum someone kick me off, I will return with another name, so what, to go on getting news and stuff!!!

YES!

noisereductions · 04.20.2009, 10:22 AM

my wife said the coolest thing the other day. She said she'd love to see SY live. What's so awesome about saying that is this: She's not what you'd call a SY fan. She likes certain songs a lot. But she has never picked up a SY album and said "I'm going to listen to this album." But the part that was so cool was that she explained it like this: because they are such a huge part of my life, because I listen to them so much, am always hunting down another ellusive collectible, or forcing her to watch this interview with Thurston or clip from a talk show etc, she feels like she knows them in a special way. Like they're a big part of her life, even though she's not even really a big fan. That was kind of sweet.

Rob Instigator · 04.20.2009, 10:39 AM

that does rule. share yr world.

sonic life!!!!!!!!!!

and there is no "best" show ever.

joe11121 · 04.20.2009, 03:23 PM

Lucky, I've never seen SY live, yet. I was gonna go down to NYC on July 4th last year, but I had a fucking foot doctor appointment that I couldn't get out of.

go for it man! I lost mine in 2007, and that was so noisy, energy, kick ass gig. fuckin' unexpectable and adorable.

exploding plastic candle · 04.20.2009, 08:50 PM

I hope to be sodomized sometime soon. Hopefully this summer, when they go on tour.
