Oasis.

Sonic Youth

I SEE A CONNECTION.





Both bands have a bitchy woman who can't sing.

Liam Gallagher is going to get you for that.

Also, quantumn decoherence.

Heh, also, in an interview once Noel Gallagher was going on and on about how rock and roll should be, and how it should not be like "art rock" bands like Sonic Youth. 

[Cramulus]

yeah just to interject on that note

don't get me wrong, I really like Sonic Youth
But when Thurston Moore played at my school I wanted him to play music - not a solid hour of screetching guitar feedback. No exaggeration. I'm sure it was very avant-garde or something, but it was an awful show.

[AFK]

Really?  I would've loved that.  I think my favorite Sonic Youth tune is Diamond Sea, the uncut version, all 20 minutes of it including the feedback-drenched interlude and outro. 

[Cramulus]

yeah well there were about twenty kids in the front row who were psyched. The rest of the crowd hung around for fifteen minutes, shouted at the stage for ten minutes, then eventually just left.


It's not like I don't dig experimental music. I admittedly listen to some pretty unpalatable stuff sometimes. But even noisecore has a beat or meter of some kind, right? After the audience made it clear that they weren't digging his set, Thurston just turned it up. I thought it was lame. I mean come on, an entire set of guitar feedback? And it's not like this was a Sonic Youth concert, this was a spring festival with tons of other bands playing. Thurston went on after Kid Koala (who ROCKED). Thurston was headlining. The consensus was that he was a huge dissapointment. sucks.

anything.

I had the same exp. at a festival a few years back. Mind you, it was the best damn screeching guitar feedback ever. I think I even invented some kind of screeching guitar feedback dance moves, but they're long forgotten. It probably would have sounded worse except they followed an acoustic set by Beck. Or was it Sonny Bono? It was a fun festival anyway.

You would hate the noise scene in boston, then.  www.khznoise.com

Although, I kind of agree with you.  I'm thinking, when I have some free time, of putting dub/trip-hop beats underneath cacophony.  Maybe I could do some of those "versus" projects, where I take other people's noise, and turn it into something more rhythmic.

I call Bullshit.  That looks an awful lot like the artists known as the Cranberries.
