Thurston Moore noise maker
Saw Thurston Moore at St David's Episcopal Church. If Ono is the queen of noise, then Moore is the King of noise. He played acoustic sets of songs from Psychic Hearts, Trees Outside the Academy, and Demolished thoughts. He was backed by harpist and violinist. Loved when Moore would break out into feedback for 5 minutes in the middle of songs. In between songs and feedback he would read poetry. He read this poem called Whisper:
why don't you come over to my
house babe and help me
alphabetize my noise tapes.
there's only one we'll really play
and that's the haters/merzbow
banned production cassette.
it is thee quintessential.
and then basement jam and then
wine and then marijuana and
then
the continuous heaven.
blessed are the noise musicians
for they shall go down in
history.
way. way. down.

Man, I had tickets to see him in Dallas and my mom got extremely ill and almost died like 3 days before so I had to go out of town and missed it. I love Sonic Youth and it's sad that I might not ever get a chance to see live them again (at least I've seen them 3 times). I'm excited to see Steve Shelley with Disappears.

Man, I wish I had caught that set. I've only seen him once, and that was Sonic Youth on the Goo tour (played at Liberty Lunch!).
