i believe they will be playing boston in sept...if it's at the venue i think it is (and there is some confusion), hopefully i will get a good position for some photos. i've seen 'em about 8 times and they have always been outstanding.

I saw them only once. At the Somerville Theatre. Don't remember the specifics. They were very good though. Awesome setting. Everyone was there.

i've seen two bands @ the somerville theater...billy bragg, and john zorn's masada quartet.

the latter was literally a life-changing event.

Cool stuff that song sounds good.

coming down
sadie I love it
now now now
death valley 69
you’re right you’re right you’re right
I was on the wrong track
we’re deep in the valley
how deep in the gulley
and now in the canyon
way out in the yonder
she started to holler
I didn’t wanna
I didn’t wanna
but she started to holler
so I had to hit it
hit it, hit it, hit it
deep in the valley
in the trunk of an old car
I got sand in my mouth
and you got sun in yr eyes
blinded
and you wanted to get there
but I couldn’t go faster
I couldn’t go faster
I couldn’t go faster
so I started to hit it
I started to hit it
hit it
hit it

They played there a couple of years ago the day after I had knee surgery. I was too doped up to go. That's a great venue. I saw God Speed You Black Emperor there. Awesome show.

Back to SY. I've heard "incinerate" on the local radio a few times lately. First time I've heard them on the radio since Koolthing came out in '90 or so. Very cool.

ibold is playing with sonic youth.... cool
it's a definite step up from his 1st post-Pavement gig (a couple of episodes on "Strangers W/ Candy". :D

i've not seen SY since '02, and can't wait to hear the new stuff (as well as _Sonic Nurse_) live.
