This is funny. Taken from diskant.net:
"...it never even occurred to me to leave early for SONIC YOUTH and, in retrospect, I'm extremely thankful for that as we arrived upstairs to a wailing cacophany of noise. Actually that makes it sound much better than it was. It was as if they had picked some pensioners off the street who had never seen musical instruments before and were just guessing how to play them. Kim Gordon did mention she'd been having difficulty making coffee in their chalet so maybe they were missing their caffeine buzz or something. I could point out that there were parts of the set that I enjoyed when they made some fantastic noises but that would be like offering excuses for a band whose arrogance disappointed so many people who'd been prepared to overlook a little self-indulgence in return for some wonder. Instead they seriously pissed off a number of longtime fans and ruined rock day for everyone. How they managed to get an encore I'll never know and that they then had the cheek to play a proper song (i.e Sunday) is just frightening."
