Roll Call: Sonic Youth@ CMH, Ottawa

[Guest Low Roller]

Alright, so far it's an army of one going out to see Sonic Youth tonight. Is anybody else planning on coming out tonight?

I have completely fallen out of the loop when it comes to this band. I think the last record I listened to was A Boy Named Goo or Dirty so I'm way out of it. However Sonic Youth has been one of those bands that were always on my list of bands to see because I always knew they could translate well live. I'm especially curious to see how that maniac Lee Ranaldo gets all those noises out of his guitar live.

So who's in?

[AdamH]

I'm tapped out. That would be three sold out shows in a row!

[Guest Low Roller]

Booyah baby! I'm still revving to go!

Make it four shows in a row when Grand Theft Bus plays Babylon on Saturday night. That should sell well also.

Roller, when* I see you at Babylon on Saturday, I'm buying you a beer: this is a four-day run that ranks up there with the best of the epics I pulled off in 2003. Bravo!

Aloha,

Brad

Im definelty going tonight!!!i bought my ticket about two months ago, i cant wait to see what they're like live...i sorta got out of the loop too, the albums i know are "Goo", "Daydream Nation" and the self title one

Thank god you're going i thought i was gonna go solo too!See you there! By the way do you know anything about opening band(s)?

[Guest Low Roller]

Cool. Meet me upstairs, it's the best place to see the show from and it's not crowded at all. Plenty of room to move if you get there early enough. I should be getting there around 9:15 or so after my soccer game. I'm not sure about the opening band.

[purple foot]

the last one "sonic nurse" is good. produced by jim o' rourke. i also really liked, "jet set trash and no star" or whatever that one is. enjoy the show. i missed them open up for pearl jam one year and was pissed. kim gordan is milfy hot.

[Big Wooly Mammoth]

I'll be there. hopefully nobody will puke on me tonight.

I'll be there, and yeah, upstairs is the place to be. Last night's show got too crammed and hot on the floor, which would have been good if it was in a naked forbidden dance context, but it wasn't really like that.

SY's 2nd last album, Murray Street, has some wicked tunes on it too. This is just one of those shows I figure I need to see. They're legends baby.

So who's gonna get ripped enough to yell at Lee to play a Dead tune? I'm counting on you people.

[AD]

Sonic Youth will be interviewed on CBC's All in a Day tonight after the 5:30 news. 91.5 FM

You coming out tonight AD?

In case anyone will be looking for me, I'll be standing behind the seats in the lower balcony. It's the best spot in the house and not that packed.

[AD]

no can do tonight roller... wilco / modest mouse / long week at work have left me tapped for any resemblance of energy. i like sonic youth but can't really do it. seen 'em a few times before and they've never disappointed, so you'll have a good show i'm sure.
