Sonic Youth Events
 

I'm a fan of polls, as you may be aware, so I thought it appropriate that my first thread should be ... a poll.

Assuming that they are all to happen this year (which may not be the case of course), which Sonic Youth event would you find most exciting?

:o Oops, I've gone and put it in the Sonic Sharing section, by mistake. Please move.

a tour!!!!!!!, FUCK YEAH!

TOUR!!! No doubt. Hearing their stuff on record is great, but seeing them live is a life-changing experience. I would see them live every day if i could.

Fuck Polls. I'd like a tour though. Coming to my house preferably and one where I wouldn't have to pay.

you can't vote twice?

my thoughts exactly

Live box set!!!! 200 disc. Every recorded show!!!!!!!:cool:

oooooh please!!!! another festival!!! i only want to see SY play for 30min. and Chris Habib has to be there to film it. and they have to play Bull in the Heather AND Kool Thing or i will burn all their records!

i'll make it happen for a reach-around and a sloppy blowjob.

Chabib, I'm game. When and where?

you got removable teeth?

Nah. Is that required?

Dammit all to hell!

hey, sy never released an official live recording during the last 20 years. all bootlegs that they are good though but in my opinion would be great some great recordings sometime. even because it's totaly different hear them play live than on record and I like their live sound alot.

There's the 'Hold That Tiger' live bootleggy LP. They released that themselves, didn't they? I've got it, it's rather good. From the Sister era.

I forgot that, but I mean that would be great an official live recording from the new century.....

I agree. It would be another nice way to mark the 25th anniversary, wouldn't it?

Tour....slightly over a new album.

big europe-Tour (+Austria) ::::::
but no festival-tour

A tour, one of those no support play for 3 hours dealies.

Only seen them once & they were playing support, felt a bit like being thrown out of a restaraunt after the complimentary bread basket. I need more!

Now you guys are talking my language.

That's a tough one, but I reckon I'd get more excited about a live recordings boxset, 'cos I'm a shameless nostalgic.

I don't think you have to worry about them not playing "Bull in the Heather" or "Kool Thing" they get played pretty much everytime I see them.

good poll ther hip priest, i opted for the new record cuz i know that Sonic's are the hardest working band on the planet and that a tour will naturally come if they bring out a new album...

This is too difficult... I want them all.
Well I could do without the festival appearance... unless it was a small and interesting one... like ATP for example.

Nice to see a fcouple of others share my fascination with the SYR series.

I'ts great to think that all of these might happen this year.

Well, some of the SYR are recording out takes etc, aren't they? So no reason why not. They must have tons of noise jams etc recorded. And a noise-based SYR would compliment the new LP's rock mentality nicely.

Absolutely. It's a fascinating part of the group's canon in my opinion.

It was hard to choose between Tour and LP. And SYR was pretty close too. I'm glad they're touring part of Canada, I'd love to see them live for the first time.

Well, we got an LP, festival appearances and a tour. Not bad. Let's hope that there's a new SYR soon.

Damn, I obviously missed this.
Box set of live recordings, though I would prefer them to be videos.
