Perhaps you remember my dozen or so posts on Sonic Youth back in the halcyon days of the glorious MOG. I think it was only myself & the long lost PoeBgone who championed them. I first saw them in '83 and followed their career 'till the bitter end.<br /> Thurston's unique vision, his spiky musical landscapes have always provided rich listening experiences. As the band explored different pathways through the aural blizzards and pastoral shifting sonic hazes they learned to harness their unique blends of dissonance to the songs in ways unmatched anywhere in rocknroll.<br /> It is good to see He (thurston) hasn't lost touch with his Muse.

That was really one of their finest performances. They did a lot of the Daydream Nation album that day. One of the hightlights of that decade. Also, I'm not surprised that The Parlor Mob caught your attention as a band you'd like.

But the NYC show - killer. Lots of video of that on Youtube. Not sure if I'd go see Thurston solo or not. I know what you mean about hunkering down in January and not making a lot of shows - we made it out for only two this month ourselves. Out of the batch presented here I think I would go with Parlor Mob as something I might check out if they ever make it this way - poppish yet a nice hard drive to it - enjoyable stuff.NYCDreaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10820396317001769970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-72846462240417761432015-02-01T06:56:25.710-08:002015-02-01T06:56:25.710-08:00Yeah, the Pink Floyd homage is certainly a good fi...Yeah, the Pink Floyd homage is certainly a good fit for the loose and jammy vibe PTV presents, Midnite Rambler. On a lot of their other songs it felt like Patti Smith fronting The Velvet Underground. Which is a very different thing entirely from "space jams." As for Mr. Moore - he seems revitalized by this whole new band experience. The live show is where he really shines.DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-15688279956117780882015-01-31T15:12:23.645-08:002015-01-31T15:12:23.645-08:00It's good to see that Thurston Moore and Psych...It's good to see that Thurston Moore and Psychic TV are still chugging along.
