The ideal Sonic Youth venue?

Hip Priest · 03.22.2006, 11:12 AM

Seems like an interesting topic...

Hip Priest · 03.22.2006, 11:16 AM

I think the acoustic dynamics of a cave would be very interesting...

Inhuman · 03.22.2006, 11:21 AM

Nice thread. I had a hard time between Cave, forest, and concert hall, but it would be really different to have a concert in a cave, plus it will impact the sound due to echoes.

But the noise! The Youth could make it brilliant in a cave, I think. Once they'd adjusted to the dynamics they could manipulate them, toy with them like a kid with a train set. The Youth can do anything, in my opinion.

Sorry, my post was a little ambiguous. I was referring to why I would prefer a cave over the other two haha. It would create the perfect environment for a noise band to play

Sorry, I misread! I was choosing between forest and cave too - the forest would be nice, picnic and wildlife and all that, but the cave would be interesting. It's strange that I would associate different artists with different venues:

Sonic Youth: a cave (or maybe forest)
Aphex Twin: A ruined church
The Fall: A big underground WWII shelter
Foo Fighters: as f*&^ing far away from me as f*&^ing possible.

You're really enjoying this poll thing aren't you Hip Priest!

I've gone for the cave thing cause I like the idea of SY concerts being events rather than just gigs. If that wasn't going to happen, London places I'd like to see them play are the Royal Albert Hall, the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern or Somerset House.

That would be pretty sweet with Aphex Twin in a Church! The part of me that was going for forest was becasue of the new tour, and seeing the flaming lips play in a forest with Sonic Youth ...amazing!

On the contrary, one of the most interesting concerts ever IMO would be Hair Police, Wolf Eyes, Comets on Fire, and Sonic Youth in a cave

like the mary jane girls would sing.

in my house
my house

schizophrenicroom · 03.22.2006, 01:41 PM

They should play with the Flaming Lips, Wolf Eyes, Aphex Twin, and Comets On Fire in Disneyworld.

HaydenAsche · 03.22.2006, 01:47 PM

I want to see Wolf Eyes play in my bedroom. Or at the mall.

Sonic Youth would be sweet inside a cave only playing pre-85 songs.

Everyneurotic · 03.22.2006, 01:49 PM

my dream is playing at the mall, and covering "i think we're alone now"

HaydenAsche · 03.22.2006, 01:57 PM

HAHAHAHA. I want to play the Super Bowl and sing 'I always feel like. Somebody's Watching ME!!!!!'

I want a giant noise-fest to play the mall. Or a kiddie carnival.

little kids are more likely to like noise than the common folk. but an appearance by mothers against noise is imminent. even if that just means andrew wk dressed in drag

I always wondered whether Mothers Against Noise was a joke or not. Apparently there were some of them at the SY, Hair Police, Wolf Eyes concert last year, but judging by the content on their website makes me question their existence.

Everyneurotic · 03.22.2006, 02:11 PM

spin made an article where they discovered that the ip (or something, like that, some computer hacking thing) of m.a.d. was tracked down to the island/def jam servers, which is andrew wk's label. also, the only one's that supposedly saw the mothers in action were, as you pointed out, we, hp and sy; and the only ones to ever talk about were wolf eyes, who are like best friends with andrew wk and thurston plays (or played?) with awk in to live and shave in la, so chances are they are in the joke too.

but seeing as it was on spin fucking magazine...

schizophrenicroom · 03.22.2006, 02:13 PM

I want to play "She's my Cherry Pie" in a bakery.

It's most likely AWK. No one seriously talks like that, the crap on MAN.

HaydenAsche · 03.22.2006, 02:18 PM

My friend's band did an Andrew W.K. Cover.

Rhys was going to rip the video from the streaming for me I think and then I could post it. It was phenomenal.

Everyneurotic · 03.22.2006, 02:20 PM

cherry pie is pure poetry
heaven is the perfect power ballad

long live warrant!!

If you're going for a forest it has to be at night, maybe with fog.
