If you missed the live broadcast or couldn't attend Sonic Youth's big Battery Park show this past July 4th (carried on or airwaves live, and put on by River To River with special support from WFMU's Free Music Concert series) you've got a chance to check it out now; we're archiving and streaming to show here (and below). Many thanks to the band and their management, and to the fabulous Feelies for playing this event too (they're going to be at the Wellmont Theater in Montclair, NJ New Years Eve with Yo La Tengo and Vivian Girls on the bill). It's been a great 50th Anniversary year for free concerts/broadcasts related to WFMU, with this Battery bill as well as our Lincoln Center co-presentation with the Ex, Getatchew Mekuria, Alemayehu Eshete, Mahmoud Ahmed, Either/Orchestra and Extra Golden, plus this month's Wire/Times New Viking event the station produced at Irving Plaza. Our New York State Music Fund grant which helped make these shows happen is unfortunately done for the year, but we're hoping to have more events like these in the future. Setlist for Sonic Youth: WFMU Intro / She Is Not Alone / Bull in the Heather / Silver Rocket / Skip Tracer / The Sprawl / The World Looks Red / Jams Run Free / Hey Joni / Cross the Breeze / The Wonder / Hypertstation / Drunken Butterfly / Making the Nature Scene / Pink Steam / Schizophrenia / 100%. Guitars are sounding particularly great/gnarly, and sound kudos goes to SY Mixman guru Aaron Mullen who passed it on to WFMU engineers Irene Trudel, Scott Williams, Diane Farris and Bill Bowen. Also, River To River posted a partial clip from "Silver Rocket" (which, also, by the way, appears on our new Volume 2 of our Free Music Archive CD samplers were were giving away at the Wire/Times New Viking WFMU show) |

Link to the archive seems to be invalid. Cool footage of Silver Rocket on the WFMU page, though.

WFMU FAIL!
Hey everyone, sorry, but there was a glitch of sorts with our player that was serving up the stream of WFMU's Sonic Youth Battery Park concert/broadcast from July 4th, which we posted last night. We took the post down, and we'll be ironing out the tech details soonish and hopefully have it all back up when we can. I was going to put up a picture on this post of a sick computer, but really, how does one choose? If anyone finds one of Robby the Robot from Lost In Space attacking Jonathan Harris, by all means please forward. |
