thurston moore | northampton wools 1) John Olson and Khristopher Reinshagen duo in the basement of some pad in Detroit. You'd think these midwest noise gods would be tearing holes in the universal fabric, but Olson played sweet-weird reeds and Khrust was like hitting tiny rusted metal objects and scrunching small chains in his fist. It was the audience that supplied the high-decibel chaos shouting and chanting whatever insanity came through their minds at the performers as they worked some kind of dada bizarro magik. Beer everywhere. And then upstairs Olson appears (twin?) playing crunked ipod mix with andrew coltrane and some other dudes with their shirts off slow-gunk-dancing around an upturned fan (middle of summer) while the girls sat on the couch "enjoying" the scene. 2) Cold Cave at Terminal 5, NYC -- the current lineup of wes, caralee and dominick is straight up mesmerizing, sexy and the best love song lyric scene happening today. 3) Jesus Lizard at Irving Plaza and Awesome Color at Glasslands - Êmissed both of these gigs but heard they were phenomenal with Jesus Lizard completely scorching from moment one and Yow pronouncing "thank you, you'll never see us again" - best end of gig line ever -- and Awesome Color creating a sick slampit stagedive fest at Glasslands which I KNOW must've been hotter than hell. Oh well. 4) Leslie Keffer and Thurston Moore in Nashville, summertime -- I only list this because I got to smash my guitar in Leslies face only to have her wrestle me to my back and strangle me while some weird, drunken bearded dude knelt down and yelled in my ear "dude 100% is like the greatest jam ever!!" 5) Talk Normal at Hampshire College Tavern --- sarah register playing hell-gate guitar -- if you need new guitar hero go see the TN -- ruling. 6) Iggy & The Stooges in Rio, Brazil --- 1st Raw power set w/ Williamson -- as cool as it looks on you tube - coolest thing was they did "night theme" -- wtf 7) Okkyung Lee & Carlos Giffoni duo at Glasslands, Bklyn --- for some reason I didn't think this would work, thought maybe Carlos would decimate Okkyung's string action with pulverizing computer kill, but he was...sensitive...and these two hit a sincere cosmic high - happening. |

Thurston and Mats Gustafsson at Glasslands on Super Bowl Sunday has to rank up there as one of year's best, maybe even the decade...
