Little Lines

I stumbled on this [Blog] earlier that told an interesting story. Never had a "gbv moment" with a friend (or, for that matter, any "pavement/rather-obscure-bands-that-i-like moment"). But I was kinda surprised back then that some of my poly mates listened to gbv. I think I'm the only person in this world who finds similarities between Cheer Chen and Guided By Voices' lyrics- Meaningful little lines. :)

Vid of some fans' travel to YiLan to catch a Cheer Chen's concert. In a sorta "road-movie" spirit of the album and first song off the album- 旅行的意義 (Meaning of Travel)

Wrong


Sonic Youth- Paris 2006 Pt.1 Incinerate/Sleepin Around off latest album Rather Ripped

Sonic Youth- Pt.2 Do You Believe in Rapture?/Pink Steam
Sonic Youth- I Love You Golden Blue

Sonic Youth- Karen Revisited (Lee Ranaldo on vocals)

Sonic Youth- Death Valley '69



Wrong for the right reasons. Sonic Youth. The noise. Chaos. Fun. Death Valley '69. You can never go wrong with Sonic Youth.

Sound-track of my life.

Memories of Sonic Youth concert circa 1996 at WTC auditorium. Yeah, whenever I think back, still can't quite believe the concert ever happened. But SY were here in small Singapore. They were here! In 1996. Unbelievable eh? :o)

Clap Your Hands Shout Yeah

Found some great stuff on youtube every night. It's a treasure trove of rare vids. These are clips from a favourite band Spoon, an early Cat Power clip and the crazy new band, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. YEAH! :O

The Kims

There are 2 important Kims- Kim Gordon and Kim Deal.



This vid is truly special. The Breeders playing a GBV song and members of GBV skulking outside the house.

Hello Dayton, Ohio! Thanks YouTube.

Shocker in Gloomtown
Were you there?
Were you kicking?
Alive in aisle 12?
Give the girl a century
In boxes of jars
And give away cars
Hes motioning for you

There was a band
They were sickening
Arousing everyone
P.s. dump your boyfriend
Emotional trash
Emotional trash
With helium balloons

So then tell me
How the hell did we miss it
Bared his ass for all to see
And no one got to kiss it
