I've been to see Sonic Youth tonight, fuck me they were good. They started off with my favourite tune from the new album Sonic Nurse, I love you Golden Blue each Sonic taking there time to come on one by one finishing with Kim Gordon (the sexiest women to ever hold a bass guitar - fact!) sweeping on in a pair of golden high heels. The third song they played was the full version of The Diamond Sea (all 20 minutes of it!), which halfway through had Thurston Moore climbing on top of a PA stack and swinging his guitar by its lead in front of it - the spirit of punk rock is alive and well!



Adding Jim O'Rourke to there ranks is a stroke of genius, he can pull off some full on 'Jack Black in School of Rock'-esque poses and he occasionally takes over on bass duty to allow Kim Gordon to strut her stuff properly. There was some great banter going on between Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo, they dedicated the last song to Jordon (??!), and yes, they did play Teenage Riot!



Marvellous evening, some crap blurry pictures of it can be found here...
