SY play at Nightmare Before Xmas ATP UK Dec 4th-6th
 

SONIC YOUTH AND DE LA SOUL?!

Two of my favourite bands in one place. I need to go. I have to go.

wow!

lads! re union meeting!

So far confirmed to join the legendary sonic sculptors are:
Sonic Youth
De La Soul
EPMD
Sun Ra Arkestra
The Horrors

Oh yeah! I'm SO there!

(Take note - £20 discount on ticket prices for bookings made from 17 April to 24 April.)

Road trip!

I could be there. I want to be. Have to see.

I'd do the same if I knew who I'd be working for. Or if I'd have a job.

But I do have a job right now, and I can afford the ticket, so I'll be logged on at that Seetickets website first thing Friday morning.

didnt MBV curate last year?

That was what I was hoping for in 2006 - or, at the very least, to have had a performance of Drift in the cinema.

I have my night shifts in work on 4, 5, 6! admin. won't give you hol. if you're on nights. all you can do is swap them off, which is pretty hard, coz who's going to swap off your nights. I better start looking for such a person now. I'm sure I'll make it. long time to Dec. fingers cross...

I want to go to there.

Oh god it's sooo expensive. But MBV and SY at the same festival means I will have to be there even if I must sell limbs.

YES!

the horrors...my fav band evah!


ha.

no, seriously, kind of a long shot, but I could try and fly over there..

Nup, Mike Patton & The Melvins did.

Sodding typical this is announced 2 days after I buy Primavera tix... will have to see how my funds are looking after that...

At £130 with the current reduced rate, it's less than just about every other 3-day festival you'll find in this country.

Though based on experience from the last couple of years, it's well worth the extra £10 or so to get an apartment with a kitchen and lounge rather than just beds...

Yes, but that would be my third festival this year.

So so so excited about this.

if they're in the uk then does that mean they'll do a tour? It does doesn't it? it must do? maybe a us tour in the summer, then over here for winter? fucking awsome

Sounds exciting but I'm not rich enough to afford travelling to the UK for a Sonic Youth concert.

wait ... i already did that.

Sounds very exciting, wish I could attend.

God damn this is tempting. I can just about afford it, but no one I know is gonna want to go, and it'll be during uni, so knowing my luck I'll get some giant essay that weekend... Torn as hell over the choice.

i have an IDENTICAL dilemma.. fuck uni!

Fuck it guys, I decided to ditch uni for a week at the most crucial point of this year to fly to Austria to see SY...

I'll be giving my deposit to my friend, should HOPEFULLY have ATP booked before the end of the weekend.

DAMNIIT!!!! i wanna go so bad!
too bad thats when winter exams are for me, i feel like an idiot passing up sonic youth AND my bloody valentine (only the 2 best bands EVER)...was even considering taking a trip to england for this.

Go for it! Skip stupid exams. Stupid school, trying to test your "knowledge" and understanding, ugh, I hate schoool

Haha yeah, school is so gay

I'm not even being sarcastic

This evening I feel like being preachy about my trip to Austria for SY.

Y'all gotta travel to feel that Sonic Love sometimes.

I win at Sonic Youth fandom!!!!

Sonic Youth > School

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to joe11121 again.

A.K.A

I've fallen in wrong-monkey-love with you joe11121, let us have lots of pretty blue eyed babies together.

\i would skip it if it were just lectures...but getting kicked out of school would really blow because i didnt write an exam :P ahaha

plus a flight from Canada to England is about $2500 too much on my student budget of food and alcohol ahah

Haha true. Yeah flights all out of canada are expensive. USA is cheaper, I belive, not sure, I;ve only flown out of Canada.

lol

=O This is not here,you live in London? Sweeet. Are you going to this festival?

Yes I will be, even if I have to kidnap SY's van before the gig so ATP can be held in my room. Yes, I shall be.

I didn't realise the cheaper tickets would sell out so quickly, i've been at work all day and missed out, i'll have to try next week now.

Deposit paid!!!!!!!!! I'm FINALLY going to ATP!

I'm going too, and to the Breeders this summer

Booked! 2 ATPs again this year :D
