Come on! We need J'accuse Ted Hughes!

SYRFox · 02.16.2007, 08:03 AM

I just listened J'accuse Ted Hughes again and it's great! But fuck, the sound quality is just awful on it ... Come on Sonic Youth, we really need a SYR 7: J'accuse Ted Hughes release with pro sound quality...

I'll sign my name to that petition

sonicl · 02.16.2007, 09:20 AM

Me too.

pokkeherrie · 02.16.2007, 09:22 AM

We definitely need it... but what we need most is the EVOL tour movie (after they finish the Daydream Nation Deluxe release!)

dazedcola · 02.16.2007, 12:48 PM

was it only played once live?

SYRFox · 02.16.2007, 03:51 PM

Yes. And it was great =) I wish I was there

ehrmm, I considering myself as an sy fan, but what do you guys and girls talking about.

c'mon, quick, quick, i want answers. J'accuse Ted Hughes?

racehorse · 02.16.2007, 05:50 PM

it was a long 20 minute improvisation track which they played only once at ATP in 2000. it had lyrics as well, i've never heard it, but they go something like
"i sent my poem
to good housekeeping
they paid me 10 bucks
for my poem
i fucked a poet..."
something along those lines anyway. rumours are that they will release it as syr 7...
"i show ted hughes" is what it means right?

would love to see this shit released in good quality, or tacked on to the next mix tape.

whorefrost · 02.17.2007, 11:07 AM

Apparently it was not well recieved by the majority of the audience

SYRFox · 02.17.2007, 11:38 AM

Those people were shit, obviously

demonrail666 · 02.17.2007, 01:50 PM

Of course, what we REALLY need is for Ecstatic Peace to reissue the STP Smoke Em EP

greenlight · 02.17.2007, 04:09 PM

I'd like to here it. Hopefully bootleg is floating somewhere around.

Daddylikes · 02.18.2007, 02:20 PM

You're a poet and I will fuck you. Ha. I love that song.

'I accuse ted hughes', as in, 'I accuse Ted Hughes of contributing to Sylvia Plath's suicide'.

Daddylikes · 02.18.2007, 02:26 PM

But it's a joke song...like the term "J'accuse" actually absolves Ted Hughes of wrong doing.

The song to me is like Sylvia Plath accusing Ted Hughes of being complicit in her death when it was her herself who did herself in and not Ted.

Basically, the song to me absolves Ted Hughes of all guilt.

The title is funny and misleading.

Danny Himself · 02.18.2007, 02:29 PM

Oh well. I think I've been to Plath's grave but I don't remember too well.
