Cool. That's good to know.
|
i have to say after having been keeping up with what has been going on with Jenn on her west coast jaunt...
...for pure literary gold this last week for her has been far more interesting, exciting, drama-filled and sooooo much more i can't even say then anything in the book |
Sold 71 copies so far...after the first 100 are gone, all future books will
be unnumbered AND AND AND subject to international shipping. So pounce! |
Finished it last night Jenn. Great stuff. I will be posting a review on -FUPPETS- by Friday.
|
I just read the "chapter" about the very first SY show (Milwaukee 06) that I went to and it brought back lovely memories. I'm excited to read the rest!
|
Jenn, I started reading the book yesterday night and I love it! so much wit and so much passion for music put together .. wow.
i was about to ask about that 8/8/2002 show in DC - you wrote you had a grey Snoopy T-Shirt and greyer shorts on ... now I recall I MUST HAVE SEEN YOU there because I remember a girl like that. Did you not leave DC from the local Greyhound station that night? Because I think I saw you there as well, when I was waiting for the bus to Baltimore. |
Yah, dude, that had to be me. I no longer have that shirt unfortunately.

Fuck, I should have come and said hi. Anyway, the book is wonderful. I'm halfway though it now - very catchy. |
Just finished Jenn, once i started i couldn't stop reading it, this is the quickest i've read any book. i really enjoyed it and now want more...
|
My favourite quote so far: "Did we just mosh to Shadow of a doubt? Are we retarded?"
|
i liked the one comparing SY to chicken!

nice ass....
I mean, nice to see Lee with the OPERA MAGNA!! Guess it will end up in No Setlist 2. |
Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
|
my sonic youth nerd dick just got hard
|
I saw Lee at the Goodbye 20th Century discussion this evening and asked him about No Setlist afterwards. He was pretty enthused about it! He talked about meeting Jenn and said how she has sort of built up this network of SY fans and I think he compared it to a Grateful Dead communal sort of thing.
|
:D!
|
One of the biggest things I wanted to get across with the book is that I
don't do this in a bubble. It's all about meeting like-minded folks, sharing thoughts and feelings, maybe if you're fortunate enough making FRIENDS. All bonded by a shared affection for one band. Rob got it in his Fuppets review; glad to see Lee picking up on it too. |
i'm not fanzbook fan.
|
Ah well, I like you anyway, mil_pl.
|
I like you too Jenn! it wasn't my point.
|
It came a few days ago. I spent a several hours at my local bar drinking shochu and reading the book. I figured you had to be a real SY fan, and probably also a board member to get into the book. But that turned out not to be the case. I think the book will speak to anyone who has chosen to step into the river and let it carry them someplace new. Who can't help but to like a clever story of transformation hidden in several years worth of concert reviews.
All, I want to know is why that guy kicked your suitcase at ATP. That's such a random and senseless thing, unless he was sizing it up for a hidden stash of electronics to abscond with. |
|
I'm curious for a few more opinions from those who are reading/have read.

About half way through...and loving it. The way you describe the ATP gig in England gives me goose-bumps. I want to go to a SY gig like that!!:) |
You can't go wrong with SY at ATP. It's gold, Barry, gold.
|
Hey Jenn, yr book is fantastic. I delved into it and am about 40 pages from the conclusion. The whole thing is great but especially liked reading about the English ATPs and looking forward to reading about No Fun.
Also, love how you say "Got to. It's real life." Cool pics too. All in all, it has inspired me to write about some of the Sonic gigs I've attended over the years which I will post when I have finished. |
Yes! I love your writing.
|
Don't know if I like fanbooks. Don't know if I like the other fans. So just ordered it to have a look.
|
I think it's more than a "fanbook." Then again, I would think that.
|
what the fuck is a "fanbook?"
No SetList is a tour diary/personal diary |
Quote:
a book written by a fan of the book’s subject? what the fuck is a fan? |
is not every nonfiction book the same
? |
@Rob: No, of course.
But I think I like the book. I don't understand all the kool slangish words and phrases. But sometimes the unperfect and personal style of writing is very ... funny? I don't know how to explain in English. But the typography hurts! |

i know i want i want i want besides the fact that i adore her-- i want this book. yessum. |
I have a copy set aside for you, dude... #'ed 94/100.
|
Update here: all 100 copies of the first printing are gone. I'm ordering a
second pressing due to continued interest. I'm feeling like my avatar, basically. |
When's that second pressing coming out and how do I order?
|
|
time for a trade!
