These are all old tricks for Thurston. I saw him doing this stuff well over
10 years ago. But I'm sure its just as cool sounding now.
And for fun mixing of threads .. last time I saw them Sonic Youth were
opening for Public Enemy

Subject: RE: [idm] jim o'rouke and sonic youth
I saw this show in SF and, thankfully, no pearl jam in
sight...Best show
I've seen in a long damned time. The highlights for me
included the sampling
work by O'Rourke (as well as his wall of sound guitar
playing) and
thurston's experimental stuff (playing guitar with
drumsticks <is this
new?>, dragging the guitar head across the floor for some
excellent
feedback, etc.) For anyone who's seen them live before
(okay, so I'm new to
SY), are these new techniques or is this old hat for
thurston?
I left the show feeling like THIS is what I always expected
MBV to be like.
It was that good. Sure, there was the typical new york city
rock 'n' roll
show, but the addition of O'Rourke gives them an added
dimension and, I
think, extra incentive to experiment live.
Great show.
Does anyone have recommendations for some of their more
experimental stuff?

Subject: [idm] jim o'rouke and sonic youth
Saw jim o'rouke w/sonic youth opening for pearl jam saturday
in tampa,
missed the show they did in orlando, cant remember the name
alias it was
under, but needless to say the sonic youth set was good.
they only did about
5 songs, the show was really a pearl jam freak out, but the
stuff sonic
youth did w/o'rouke was good, stuff he did was mix in some
live sampling of
kim gordans voice among other things, that she sung into.
the crowd was
there for pearl jam not sonic youth so i left wanting more
sonic youth,
should have gone to orlando. anyways if you get the chance
check out the
stuff jim o'rouke is doing with sonic youth its good, and
the stuff under
the alias is sopposed to be more experimental and from what
people are
saying great.
and thanks to everyone who replyed about the dr660, i passed
on it, but just
got cubase which seems extremly powerful and much more in
line for what i
want to do.
