This is Ivan's Trip
We're heading to Palm Springs this afternoon, and going to Coachella on Friday to see Björk and Sonic Youth.
Björk was on Saturday Night Live last weekend, but Scooter made me turn it off because she didn't want to spoil the live show experience. She doesn't like watching movie trailers either. Me, I'm all for the big build-up. Plus, you can't spoil a concert by hearing a couple songs in advance. When you know a couple of the new songs already, it just makes the live show better.
On June 12, Sonic Youth will be releasing Daydream Nation as a two-disk set (also available in special edition on vinyl), which will include the remastered original album plus live versions from the tour in support of the 1988 album. Many of their live shows following the release are billed as "SONIC YOUTH PERFORMING DAYDREAM NATION." Perhaps in another couple of decades or so we can look forward to the release of a recording of the 2007 live version of the 1988 masterpiece, paired with a tribute album by the incredible Chinese bands that will soon arise inspired by SY's performances earlier this week in Beijing and Shanghai.
