Sonic Youth on Letterman
 

Glad to hear that they are going to be on Letterman's show. Maybe then we'll be able to hear "What a Waste" in its entirety. They should play on top of the Ed Sulliven Theatre marquee. I think it'd look pretty cool.

When are they gonna be on? Tonight? Cauze I've gotta tape it.

Its on thier hompage. Its June 12, so we still got a ways to go. Its not tonight.

Chances are they will play somewhere outside. Their Letterman performances are alway sweet.

I saw that. I hope they play Reena!!!

which is the official first single of rather ripped?
incinerate? reena?

bah, june 12. a day i'm dreading already . . . i take the lsat that day. at least something good will come of that day. thanks for the info.

Ouch. Shouldn't be much harder than a...normal...SAT...:(. Good luck on that.

I kind of liked how the Eagles of Death Metal played on the street. I'd like to see that.

hey q.....acoustic has no idea....the LSAT is a bitch@@@@@ and pretty darn hard...but mostly very long (5+ hours)...where are you thinking of going to law school?

I was being sarcastic.

yeah, seriously. i'm really, reeallly pining for the old analogies and basic algebra of the sat. it's not the difficulty of the material (which is tough but doable) but the TIME that's going to kill me . . . 35 minutes for each section are not nearly enough. thus far i've taken four previous lsats for practice and gotten a 165, 173, 169, and 173 on them respectively, but in each one i went way overtime in most sections (in one games section i took 2 hours . . . argh).

where i apply will honestly depend on the outcome of this behemoth . . . i have a 3.8 gpa, so i may consider shooting for an ivy leaguer or two (but probably not yale . . . i discovered on the lsac website today that someone with a 4.0 gpa and a 180 lsat has at most about a 65-70% chance of getting into yale, with an appreciable decrease with each tiny decrease in lsat score or gpa). this will be narrowed down once i find out my lsat score but right now my list of possibilities is . . .

harvard
columbia
stanford
georgetown
uva
w&m (my current school)
yale (?? -- i might consider it if i really surprise myself on the lsat)
maybe a couple more (penn? cornell? northwestern? maybe something not quite so lofty?)

yeah, wishful thinking. dream on, ryan, dream on. :D

I think there single might be sleeping around.

q...
I'm sure you'll do fine...
I was the most worried about the games too...but it turned out to be the easiet section on the test...I didn't score nearly as high as you but still got into a very good school ( with a good scholarship to boot!) I think my letters of recommendation and essays probably had the most impact as my gpa and lsat were good but not great....
believe me, when you are done you will be exhausted!!!!
G

where are you going (did you go?)? didn't know there were any law students on here.

q-
I am going to University of Arizona in the Fall (L1)....
Going to specialize in Indian Law...

the helen lindenburg/eyeliner 7"?

YAY!!!! i'm god bless my cable provider because they show letterman here!!! can't wait!!!

Exactly how many times have sonic youth been on Letterman? It's always a killer performance and I can't wait to hear some rather ripped live.

Anyone have any of the previous Letterman performances?

Also, for some reason, I think Incinerate is (going to be) the single?

Ivy league schools are way too hard to get into. Fuckin snot nose richies! I had a strong 1.90 gpa and they didnt even accept me! What do I have to do, bang the entire Board of Admissions? Cuz I don't know if I can do that much boning in one day. My back will be too sore.

actually, there's some non-ivies that are tougher to get into (mit, stanford, swarthmore) than actual ivies.

i'm guessing they'll play "reena" or "incinerate".

There's always YouTube.

those bastards. you were almost passing too.

Cheers, thanks man.

they did. they also played unmade bed on conan and pattern recognition on craig kilborn. i have all three taped but i have no idea how to get them from videocassette to the www, except by holding a video camera to the set and recording my taping.

Oh shit, I didn't know about those. I'd love to see them.

I highly suggest the University Of Kansas. We've traditionally had one of the best law schools in the country.

uh
 

i saw it, they performed Unmade Bed on Leno, not Conan, i remember the funky set design of Leno's band stage.

fuck. guess we're both right......

http://sonicyouth.com/history/con-set.html

that site says they performed Unmade Bed on both shows:

06/09/04 Burbank, CA The Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno
07/07/04 NYC, NY Late Night w/ Conan O'Brien

oh hell, you're right, it was leno, not letterman.

They're all the same. Dick Cheney shot a guy. Ha.

The "Letterman" link takes me to the "Craig Kilborn" link, and I'd really like to see the video of them on Letterman.

Unmade Bed on Conan is the best live performance of the song that I've heard.

not much letterman,sorry guys....
the diamond sea on letterman is out there somewhere,the yousendit link someone posted is dead....and i can't upload anything,sorry...

I found the Letterman performance on YouTube. The video is a little grainy but the sound quality is fine. Its really cool.

so what about that 100% performance on leterman. never going to see a light of the day again. seem to be pretty mysterious by now.

Sweet, I'll have to watch that.

they performed Unmade Bed on Conan too.
