Sonic Youth on Letterman this Wednesday. - Page 3

negative8ball · 06.10.2009, 11:40 PM

Not a bad performance - and it looks like they ran over a bit anyways... so it's probably best they did a short one...

Would definitely have preferred Anti-Orgasm, but what can ya do?

eternal · 06.10.2009, 11:41 PM

solid performance, although i was hoping for any other song. the chick before them was insane, like dave said about 4 words the whole interview.

only thing that pissed me off is how dave got his copy before i did and ordered the fucking thing almost 3 months ago!

Alexander · 06.10.2009, 11:43 PM

They've been on the show countless times and Letterman still had no clue as to who they were lol. Overall, a strong performance!

negative8ball · 06.10.2009, 11:43 PM

But Dave having a copy means the world gets to see it... kinda important [smirk]

Hey - maybe it was empty...

HomelessArtist · 06.10.2009, 11:45 PM

Letterman has the vinyl and I don't!? I KNOW he didn't pre-order!

Anyway. Kims dress was beautiful.

A longer song would have been cool since Sacred Trickster is such the radio hit.

Hey, cool anyway. I hope my record is in the mail box tomorrow.

The full moons over water was something that popped in my head during Leaky Lifeboat; husband and wife singing (?) together, most of all having fun and doing what they love. And their faces were shining and detached in the sky over a lake. The Poison Arrow thing was more like that Dee-Lite video with the various head cut-outs moving around (though I stand by my whack-a-mole reference (didn't anyone ever go to chuck-e-cheese?))

No, he knows. I think he really likes them, but feels awkward around them so he acts congenial and polite. I'd probably do the same with my awkward self.

automatic bzooty · 06.10.2009, 11:59 PM

yeah, he just doesn't really get to sit around and shoot the shit with 'em, like his other guests... i dunno, maybe it's more of a "professional" relationship? like the fall and john peel.

i kinda like how short that song is...

Jeremy · 06.11.2009, 02:49 AM

Thurston rocked the song (Was he playing his prototype Jazzmaster? Looked like it....), and it was cool to see Mark with them on the show, but it was a weird song for them to play. It doesn't sum them up as a band at all, it kinda seems like more of an idea of a song than a complete song.

I'm just bitter because with all of the good material on the record, and they play maybe the worst track on the album.

geez that was fierce. I wish i could be as awesome as Lee when i'm his age. fuck me this dude rules.aaargh.

jetengine · 06.11.2009, 06:41 AM

Overall, a good funny episode of Letterman. I liked the way he came across as a sort of pseudo sexual conservative when explaining his previous jokes about the sexual proclivities of Sarah Palin's daughter--all the while retelling the jokes to the amusement of everyone. Also, the chainsaw imitation fit in nicely on a Sonic Youth night. Good performance, with fancy footwork courtesy of ol' Thursty.

am I the only one who is not thinking "wow" after last tv shows...

baby bulldog · 06.11.2009, 07:56 AM

They were great.Worth staying up for it.

o'connor · 06.11.2009, 08:40 AM

i wasn't a big fan of sacred trickster, but i really enjoyed watching em play it live. fucking a.

alex_could · 06.11.2009, 10:09 AM

sounds nurse'y, better than on the album. and kim sings good, remember how awful she sang 'reena' last time there (couldn't hear herself, i know).
