I Won’t Settle For Less….Wooo-hoo! Baby It’s The Best!

E Randy Dupre from Barbelith has a new blog, which he just started yesterday. It’s called Eye Rainbow Dinosaur, and in his first post he talks a bit about the new Weird War (Ian Svenonious + Michelle Mae + Neil Haggerty + A Guy I Went To School With In My Freshman Year Of College) album, which I downloaded yesterday. I only have a very superficial impression of the album, but it sounds pretty much like Ian Svenonious singing on a Royal Trux record, as you’d expect. I guess that this is Ian’s stoner rock period. A lot of the songs sound like Ian should be dressed up in some flamboyant 70’s pimp outfit, doing Steven Tyler moves on stage with loads of sexy back up singers. It’s pretty good, but so far it doesn’t really move me the way that the best of Royal Trux and The Make-Up/Nation of Ulysses does.

A Prayer To Sonic Youth

Oh Sonic Youth, when I see you on Sunday in Central Park, please, won’t you play “Kotton Krown”?

I have purchased at least 15 of yr records, I have bought videos, I have bought t-shirts, I have convinced others to buy yr records. All that I ask is that you play a sentimental favorite of mine when I’m in attendance. C’mon, wouldn’t it just make sense to play a song with the line “New York City is forever kitty” when yr actually in NYC?

Please, Sonic Youth – do not forsake me!
