both Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr records in the next two weeks, and they are great (well, at least the Dino Jr one is...haven't gotten too deeply into the SY one yet).

seriously, _Farm_ is certainly a top 20 record for this year. great stuff.

 

[HAB]

Can't wait for Farm.

 

[proglife]

Farm is awesome!

haven't heard the SY yet

 

[TN]

cool cover art.

 

[proglife]

i should say, i think Rather Ripped, Sonic Nurse and Murray Street are all really good albums

 

[jimmydean]

As if i dont feel old enough as it is. I will have to get them. Are they released on casette?

8 track only

 

[greenhood]

Thank God those two bands are releasing current records. Could have been Whitesnake and Europe.

 

[stinkyboy]

Thanks for the heads up Narlus!

 

[greenhood]

I am going to pick up dinasaur at lunch.

I may not be old enough to remember those bands in their heyday, but I've got enough sense to know that they fvcking suck.

 

[jonKranked]

There's a video for one of the tracks also. They're riding bmx and skateboarding. kinda cool.

i saw that sonic youth was on tour. i thought it was a misprint

I hope it's not the county fair circuit.

<edit> Would that be worse than an Indian casino tour?

nah, county fair would be worse....especially if they go on after the Little Miss (insert county name).

Indian casinos are nice 'round these parts....Mohegan Sun, Foxwoods..

At Chinook Winds Casino!

nah, they still tour regularly and still kick ass everytime.

for some reason they do not have Boston on their itinerary yet, but i'm hoping that they hit town after coming back from Europe.

 

[stevew]

good to hear.

 

[mdc]

New vid for Over It- cool song, very cool vid...

 

[Austin Bike]

Can't be 1988, I don't have hair anymore.

 

[stevew]

kim gordon starting off the eternal was a buzz kill.

 

[amishmatt]

...Boston ...Europe.

Is that some kind of subliminal message?

 

[narlus]

Is that some kind of subliminal message?

Kansas?

 

[Bicyclist]

I really wish SY would come to LA and not just Oakland...

 

[narlus]

damn, _The Eternal_ is awesome...i've just listened to it straight through three times.

 

[cmc]

here's some of my highlights from 1988. (i was 13/14).

 

[lovebunny]

whats with all the thread resurections lately?

 

[MMike]

Well Big Sugar's new single just became available on iTunes.....first album in over 10 years.

There was much rejoicing

 

[eric strt6]

shouldn't they now be called Sonic Old Farts?

 

[narlus]

not sure if you are Thurston's age (53), but he looks a lot younger than you

 

[eric strt6]

I am a year older and to most on the board I am an old Fart so the thought is appropriate

 

[narlus]

i'm listening to his just-released solo LP (Demolished Thoughts) and it's excellent... an all-acoustic affair. he played some of those songs last year when that photo was taken.

 

[Pesqueeb]

I was 10 in 1988.

 

[stevew]

I was 10 in 1988.

you missed out....although i did see some kids who couldn't have been older than 13-14 the first time i saw fugazi at the show.

 

[BIGHITR]

88 again? Oh God, I don't think I can handle Ratt and Poison again, let alone have enough hair on my head left to bang.

 

[narlus]

I am a year older and to all but JBP on the board I am an old Fart so the thought is appropriate

fixed.

 

[MMike]

I was 10 in 1988.

i was 18........good times....good times........

 

[drkenan]

Motley Crue, Poison and NY Dolls are touring together right now. I would have had no idea that any of those bands are still together (especially NY Dolls) if I hadn't heard the commercial.
