Alright, you got me to bite.
I went to see the ultimate lineup in Shapoeg State Park here in Oregon. Built to
Spill, Sonic Youth, Sneaker pimps, and I think Elliot Smith (yeah I don't know him so
burn me at the stake) all opened for Beck. Some of you know this concert for sure and
if you have a recording, please get in touch.
To the point: I owned 2 SY albums at the time and was pretty excited to see them.
BTS played a short set and didn't jam on anything. A big disappointment compared to
the 1st 2 shows that I'd seen. Sonic Youth gets up to save the day and play 1 solid
hour of experimental sound JUNK. Nobody played together. Just got up there like I
could have and played to myself for an hour. They may have been looking for some
random piece of noise to come together but 1 hour just wasn't enough time for the odds
of that happening to take place. The first and only time that I saw them and it was
crap. OR it was just too indie, cool, underground for my mainstream brain to
comprehend.
I've sold the 2 albums. There you have it. One take on why SY is a disappointment
LIVE.

for anyone whos counting, thats 5 and a half (one of them didnt completely
admit it)
to conclude my pointless tally, i pose a question

some people just smoke too much crack
