hell yea dude, i'm totally down for the cause. noise music, as one of the members from wolf eyes so eloquently put it, "it's just a celebration of middle fingers." I'm glad Richmond has some devoted
followers of the music whom i've learned a lot from during my short time down here. There's even a get together every Thursday night at Harrison St Coffee Shop, which is conveniently 2 blocks away from where I live.
anyway, the idea for this was hatched when sonic youth came to DC to speak at georgetown, and thurston and chris thought that it would be a great idea to assemble their dream line-up of noise/improv acts as part of a statement against the election.
Oh I heard about this.. with Alex Ross, right? The stuff I've read from him in the new yorker is absolute gold. He reminds me so much of my buddy, also named Alex, it's not even funny. I'd love to know what they talked about. Fill me in?
that's unfortunate, as the wolf eyes set was arguably the most frightening, evil hour of music i've ever witnessed live (and i've seen close to 2000 shows).
:mad: yea.. real great man, rub it in. i've had some pretty awful luck with shows this past fall, which is generally when my show attendance is at it's peak. Due to various unfortunate turn of events (scheduling issues, work, school, finances, etc) I've had to miss Love/The Zombies, Slayer, Mastodon, your doomfest, Animal Collective, Isis, incredible string band, the first 45 minutes of the pixies and countless other shit, but i've gotten things straightened out so i shouldn't have as many scheduling and budget conflicts anymore.
..The only Whitehouse lp's ive gotten my grubby hands on is Erector, Total Sex, and Great White Death but they completely fucked me up.. BRUTAL.
611 florida sounds good this sunday. However, I should probably make sure not to bring the same open minded music friends I brought last time, as they didn't seem to be too open minded during Excepter's set at the Free Folk thing. They were pissed at me for like a week! I guess they don't call Excepter "room-clearers" for nothing. Too bad the only other set i caught was the end of Sabir Mateen, who was serious. OH By the way, something I want to clear up. At the door, a guy in a trucker hat asked me for the 5 bucks, (who I thought might have been you) so I gave it to him. But later, that rat bastard turned out to be a guy in Excepter. I hope he didn't pull a fast one on me! So did you have something arranged with him to help collect cover at the door or was he really just a rat bastard?
