2007: Nonstop Daydream

 

It appears as though the Universe has ordained 2007 as the Year of Convergence of All Things Daydream. Apart from the release of my 33.3 volume, rumor has it that Daydream Nation will get the deluxe reissue treatment sometime later this year. And (this next bit is as unconfirmed as it is exciting) there's been talk of Sonic Youth scheduling a few "special engagement" live shows wherein they play DN in its entirety.

Add the likely admittance of The Sonics into the Rock Hall of Fame and your talking some crazy, nutzoid, wowzer type year for Youthery.

I guess '07 is the year the Universe smiles upon those who make bold-n-beautiful rackets!

(ps- The image above is the cover of the Russian vinyl release of Daydream--which, inexplicably, included a version of the album that had been chopped down from its original 2xLP length to fit on a single record. The cover features a weird photographic approximation of Gerhard Richter's oil-on-canvas candle image from the US/UK release.)

in that 20 years of sonic youth (kool things) doc. lee was pondering over that same russian album in a store.

Yeah, I heard about those Daydream Nation shows too. Thurston seemed pretty excited about them. I hope they play one near me.

see people. i havent been doting.........

Thurston even joked about bringing Watt along so they could play 'Providence'. That would kick ass.

oh my GOD.
this has to happen.

i must get tickets.
it is a must.

keep an eye on the atp site i reckon!!!

Meh, I hope it's not ATP. Fucking age-restriction bullshit.

good luck learning 'The Sprawl' and 'Rain King' again:)

yeah the uk has had the monopoly on those "don't look back" kind of things...it ain't fair, i tells ya! it killed me to miss "things we lost in the fire" and "ocean songs."
i'm prayin for nyc to get one.

nyc had best get one. also, this news is like more exciting than winning a new car. or eating really good food.

Holy crap... I'm compelled to speak

AW MAN!!! The whole Daydream Nation in it's entirety?? I must be draming...NO...Daydreaming.

you just almost made me pee my pants! i would DIE to hear them play trilogy from start to finish.

aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh

come on sonic youth! do it for us! do it for the fans

Moshe, you have just made my year. Thank you for this.

If I were a crying person, I would shed tears of joy right now, but I think I will just run through the house screaming. yes, that sounds right.

Thurston also talked about a new solo album, didn't he? Why is nobody excited about that?

really, i didn't know this, thanks!, i loved Psychic Hearts:)

Apparently he'll be doing it with Mark Ibold and the drummer from Sunburned Hand of the Man.

sweet! *high five*
