Cooler Archives
 

Hey people. Someone has posted a bunch of videos from the old Cooler in NYC. Good stuff. Looks like some of those Thurston sets that if I recall correctly he had been using the title Dream Investigations for.

Chris Lawrence, you around?

nice stuff. will have to check. I dig igloo myself....

Far out, I can't wait to dig through this.

Wow, I didn't realize Thurston had the CGDGCD tuning back in '98. I guess I knew he was working on the "Murray Street" stuff circa '99 and beyond but I never heard any of it. Early versions of "Disconnection Notice" and "Radical Adults" in '98, huh!

Still seems odd that those songs didn't end up on some sort of Thurston solo album, and instead formed the core of Murray Street several years later, while some of the really wild stuff they wrote for Murray Street remained unreleased until The Destroyed Room.

Great stuff! Thanks for posting. I'm 90% sure I was at this show, which was the first time I met Thurston. I was so thrilled! I told him what a great show it was, and he seemed genuinely flattered, as if he hadn't heard that 1,000 times before. If it wasn't this show, it was another show at The Cooler that same autumn. Lee played, too.
