I just found a rather nice blog called In the Pines, which seems to be a night in London featuring in the main folk and blues based musicians including friend and ColdRice favourite Mr.David Viner. Anyway they have some MP3’s of Sonic Youth covering The Fall on John Peel way back in October of ‘88. Couldn’t believe I’d never found these anywhere before, they are pretty fantastic. So anyway go and check out In The Pines, leave them a nice comment or subscribe to their RSS feed or any of the other nice web 2.0 stuff, if yr in London go support their shows.
Sometimes you forget how amazing a band that you once loved really are.
Every time I have seen Man or Astroman? play live they have literally moved me.
That’s what music is all about.
I just had a rather nasty shock when I thought Ian MacKaye was dead. Turns out he’s not. So breath a sigh of relief and check out this rad interview by Ian Svenonius on Soft Focus. and then go buy an Evens album to celebrate.
