the dinosaur reunion was great, really surprised the shit out of me. too bad now they are going to clunk a bunch of shit ass songs from their new album and take away from time from their set.
i mean, we are talking about sonic youth, the performances are no doubt going to be great, but i do find it pointless.
i would much rather see sy play a show with songs from across their whole career rather than focus on an old album.
besides, to everyone who is still super stoked on daydream: why the fuck do you keep buying their albums? you clearly wouldn't mind if the band broke up in 1990 so why even bother?
and re: the original thread theme: they can't perform it live, the background is a closely mic'ed, ultra distorted amp with a guitar turned down, they can approximate this sound but it's not the same. and can you imagine how stupid would it be for mike fucking watt to actually reenact a phone message he left for thurston almost 20 years ago that he never imagined would end up in a recording? "thurston, thurston".
all he would need is a mic fashioned out of a telephone like stevie wonder had when he performed "i just called to say i love you"
