no more Sonic Youth for a long, long time again...

i pretty-much just got back from seeing Sonic Youth for the 3rd night in a row...the Nashville show...it was the least good of 'em all...but of course it was the worst context as well...the set was slightly shorter than the Pyramid show...and i had just driven 3 hrs and was uncomfortable from physical conditions that i won't go into (unless you REALLY want to know...) also i was a lot farther away from the band...(the very front of the general admission lawn...) and, not being seated, i was more surrounded by ummm...Pearl Jam fans...i was bothered by stupid security guards about my tape recorded twice...but it was resolved quickly since ummm...tape recorders are allowed at PJ shows...the actual setlist was better: Teen Age Riot, Bull in the Heather, Free City Rhymes, Nevermind (What Was It Anyway), Side2side, Kool Thing, Mote, The Burning Spear...and Mote and The Burning Spear ran into each other...it was VERY amazing the way they did it...i was quite excited when, durring the beautiful noise that ends Mote, i heard that first drum smack...it's pretty cool how i can tell The Burning Spear's gonna happen by just one beat...the set was really good though...they talked even less than they did at the Pyramid and there wasn't as much extra noise surrounding the songs...although Teen Age Riot ended w/ a several minute single-note feedback drone thing that ruled...it was really good, they seemed to be *less* into it than the other shows, but still very into it...most of this though is prob'ly coming from the fact that i was so far away...i've got a headache now which sucks, prob'ly due to tiredness...oh well...the show was still very much worth it...they were prob'ly still worn out from last night...many of us were about to die from just standing there...they were in the same heat and didn't let up from their usual energy at all...(were MORE energetic, to say the least...) i wish i wasn't so tired now, but i didn't get to sleep 'til after 5 this morning...and i woke up at 1 to do the relatively long drive...i was behind schedule for my plans...i got there about 7...but after i had been in Nashville a while traffic turned to shite...and the ampitheatre was a LOT farther from the interstate than i thought it would be...oh well...i'm glad i went and i'm more sad that my 3 days in a row of SY had to come to a close...

damnit!

reading the title to the last entry makes me really sad...all the greatness i've had to look forward to has now passed...i know i should be even more glad that i've actually had all this greatness happen and have properly materialized, but i'm really tired and i *easily* get in bad moods when i'm really tired...i'm sure i'll be overjoyed again once i get some sleep...but i've gotta stay up a while so i can get on my work schedule 'cuz i think i'm gonna go in tomorrow night since i didn't got wednesday (and i NEED some money right about now...)

yes, i'm posting too frequently right now, but i've gotta keep awake somehow...

my plan: i'll wear a big sign around my neck saying "I'm the guy that got attacked by Kim Gordon" or something to that effect...then maybe girls'll notice me and talk to me...just like all my other "schemes" (read: "(lame) attempts at dressing "cool" in hopes that girls will talk to me and think i'm cool and stuff..." which, coincidentally, is all the time...) maybe i should be the one to take the initiative and actually talk to girls...(hahahaha!!! oh dear lord, i am such a loser...) although there was a chick that i would've talked to after the SYR show if i had found her...supposedly there was this chick wearing a Devo shirt and i was gonna say "cool shirt" or something...oh well...next time i see a chick in a Devo shirt, i guess...(or any cool shirt, as it's the only means of which i'm able to conceive of a way to instigate conversation w/ them scary, scary girls...anything music-related anyhow...) maybe i'll haveta wait 'til i've actually been up on stage stompin' some ballz for chicks to actually talk to me...hopefully i'll be able to find out soon...and just so's you know, all this self-bashing isn't related to my previous sadness...my mood has again swung and i'm back to my normal, light-hearted self-bashing...i'm just tired and so so so bored...as i'm sure you are, since you have just read all of this...

now i'm posting just for the sake of posting something today...

no event, as the subject suggests...i'm sitting over here at The Apartment (el apartamento de Jacques, Paul, y David, tres amigos con anos muy muy sexos...) i've been pretty bored today, did nothing at all...going to work in like 2 hrs...woohoo...one comment i didn't mention earlier (i don't think) is how thin Steve Shelley is now...that's all...he had gained a good amount of weight back in '98 or so...now he's as thin as he was in the mid-80s...and another fun note: yesterday i spent over 7 times driving for a show than the actual amount of time i was at the show (Sonic Youth in Nashville, in case you forget; 3 hrs to, 3 hrs from, 40 min there...) it seems i should have something else to say...i still feel a lot of energy from the shows when i think about 'em...it rules...it can't be helped, i just fucking love my Sonic Youth...i was just now distracted from typing this as i was talking to Jacques about the show some more...i think David just got here...signing off 1, 2, 3, 4...(i don't know why i did the count off...it seemed apropriate although i don't know why...)
