Sonic Youth - Live From SoHo EP
 

I just remembered. This comes out tomorrow. Here's an official thread for us to discuss.

is this the I-Tunes thingy I just heard about? My bad lol

yeah it is

Sounds good, I'm gonna get online after work tomorrow and take a listen :)

yeah samesies.

I never had the privelage of seeing the band live actually so for now this will be the next best thing :) until that day I see them..... and it WILL happen before I die!

I forgot all about this. I wonder if they will do up special artwork and stuff for this "iTunes LP" idea they're pushing.

is this going to be US only like the thurston live from soho?

any info about selected tracks on this?

I will get my lady to itunes this bullshit for me!!!!

anyone else having problem's purchasing this EP?
why no "download whole album" either.....

i keep getting a
"This item is no longer available" error..

I didn't see a "download whole album" link so I didn't bother. I was going to check again tonight or tomorrow.

Sonic Twitter says: sonic youth iTunes EP briefly delayed - stay tuned....

Yeah, Lee can't tag files as fast as usual with that broken wrist....

I saw it on there, only 4 songs? Was that all they played?

it is an EP, so you do not get full show.

delayed though.

will wait till tomorrow I guess to ROCK

dammit.

between the hard to find hits for squares...
the buy early get on release date eternal...
and now this...
i'm not surprised the record industry is hurting.

Hits are for Squares was easy when it came out. You just ordered online at the Starbucks site. The record industry is fighting the paradigm shift. They keep digging themselves a deeper hole by not lowering prices!

If they wanna move product, CD's should be $10 across the board at this point. The only ones that seem to understand that are the indie artists selling their own stuff at shows etc. with a few exceptions.

I've passed up so many titles I'd love to hear simply because they were over ten bucks! $9.99 is an impulse buy. With so much stuff out there and nowhere to hear it, nobody's willing to take a chance unless the price is right.

HITS wasn't that easy to find...i live in LA/Hollywood and went to about 4-5 different stores and none of them had it on release day.

I just ordered it from starbucks.com the day it came out. Had it within the week.

Yeah, when it first came out it was relatively easy to get. Now you'll pay
out the ass for one. Although I got mine for only 30 bucks and Amazon
sellers ask double that, plus.

maybe im crazy..but i remember it like this...

what the hell? I've responded twice to this thread and my posts disappear?

i was having the same problem....tried firefox & safari....
seemed to be caused by inserting a hyperlink?

i ended up just posting TEST then editing my post..

I got the four songs before they went away. I was a bit surprised by the fact that there was no option to download all the songs at once. It sounds pretty good - nice, high-energy versions of four Eternal tunes. Kinda wish there was a little more :)

um...
 

Well, indie artists selling their own stuff at shows don't have the same kind of costs that labels do, because labels still do more than simply manufacture product. They do (or should) distribute and promote it, support the material as it gestates, etc. You could argue that Sonic Youth (and maybe Radiohead, actually) are best poised to do their thing label free at this point. But neither have opted to take on the role of the label. While the "industry" digs itself in, indie labels have been struggling to survive to continue doing fair business. They deserve our support (far more than Starbucks).

OK so where is the goddamn thing? Not even a peep from anybody anywhere about why it's not on ITunes goddamnit!

delayed my ass!!!

so this is out today? i can't see it yet.

EDIT: i found it.

hope to find it too

its back up...with video!

I'll get it. Soon.

looks like the video for Sacred Tricker is not live as advertised...looks like the regular video..

yeah i was going to mention that, sorry.

I got it today

Nice. Thanks.
