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?

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!

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

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

Hey - maybe it was empty...

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.

Oh dear, that *was* a little random. I'm not very good at explaining things. Plus, I mixed up my song/mental images. 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.

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.

haha I thought that was a parody name for sacred trickster, I laughed a good 2 minutes.

i kinda like how short that song is...

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.

thanks!

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

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...
?

They were great.Worth staying up for it.

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

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).

i wish i could be as awesome as any of the sonics at any point in their lives, to be honest. i mean, i'd even settle for HALF as awesome, damn.
