The Flaming Lips/Sonic Youth show is sold out. I figure that's no big deal I'll find a friend with an extra ticket.

Goddammit if nobody has an extra, and if the tickets aren't going for $250 on ebay and craigslist. WTF people? $250? Is someone gonna pay that? And since when do such shows sell out? Go listen to something else because the Sonic Youth show is for me.

Then be my bestest friend and buy the tickets for me. I'll totally give you a Craig Biggio rookie in return no I'm not bbqjones.

I first saw the Flaming Lips in '90 and Sonic Youth when they toured for Daydream Nation. Most of the crowd was probably in diapers then.

GAX! GAX!GAX!GAX!GAX!GAX!GAX!GAX!

I've been youtubin' lots of FLips stuff and it is tight. Makes me wish I bought tickets already. GAX!

They don't play any Transmissions stuff anymore.

They came to Detroit, and I declined.

I found what I guess is an older performance of Slow Nerve Damage on youtube. I loved when they played Lightning Strikes the Postman.

I guess that stuff isn't as steeped in the happpy lovefest shit theme that has been the norm since soft bulletin.

Looking for extra tickets on the flaming lips website, I found a message board. seems as if there's a whole lot of people who view a flaming lips shows much as my generation would attend a performance of Rocky Horror with them being part of the act. people were talking about what props they wpould bring to join in the fun with Wayne FUCK YOU RETARD PEOPLE GO AWAY I WANT TO SEE SONIC YOUTH AND FLAMING LIPS AND NOT DO THE TIME WARP!!!!

heck, SY has played in theatre venues in Denver each of the last two summers for about 25$.

on the grampaw theme: Lips, a couple times in Fall 85 and Spring 86 opening for Husker Du: SY Daydream Tour, and later Goo as well. the same Goo spring (91?) SY, Pixies, and Fugazi all at the Gothic Theatre in Denver. good times....

i agree. i hate to bag on my younger sister and i'm really fucking happy that the flaming lips have been successful and continued to make different sorts of music for 20 years.....but the latter paragraph describes much of how i see my sister and her friends and even the cool students i've had who are "into" the Lips. i think they are good listeners and thoughtful people.....but i liked the Lips more when they played guitars and set shit on fire.

edit: i did really like the youtube cover of War Pigs i posted earlier, though. the one with catpower chick is not as good.

'85? Shit you are old.

At two of my fave recent concerts (Mike Watt and Wedding Present) there were few people in their 20's. At the last Lips show, as with the last BtS show, I was surprised at the number of youths. As mentioned before, I was the young whippersnapper at the show at one point. Then again, I wasn't one of many youths.

hell, i was the young whippersnapper working at the local record store in Norman, OK. i remember seeing the old guys at the shows and thinking who the fuck are those guys. i was 15 when i started at the store....and the Lips were around starting up. it was a nice conjunction of spots then for "indie"--the SST bands all played Norman on the way east, the Austin bands came up, southern enough for the Athens things to happen some and midwest enough for the Minny folks to make it too. Columbia was probably the same in many regards. the OU station played Elvis Costello and the Clash at night.....back then.

i had the same experience seeing the pixies year before last....i didn't know what to expect and was afraid i'd feel a little depressed walking in (like old farts going to see the Eagles at Mile High for 100$ a ticket). but, the kids were into and knew all the lyrics....and there was old guys in surfer rosa tees and hurting "pony-tails"....but it felt good.

though, i have to say inna day i thought the pixies rode the backs of a lot of indie bands who labored mightily before there was any kind of indie infra-structure (radio, promotion, VENUES, utterly dependent on labels to even see recording equipment)...... to get to be rock stars. but, i respect their music.

And don't get me wrong, I love those two albums, always will, but still, neither are that of "Transmissions", and are only slightly better than "Hit to Death". The bottom line is, they've been playing the same show for four fucking years now. And things are seemingly going downhill with the release of "Mystics" - and by downhill I mean that album is absolute garbage. Not one of those, "it'll take a few listens" kinda discs, but pure, raw shit.

I'll see the Lips again. For some reason though, I just didn't have the desire to make it happen this time around.
