THOUGH ACTUALLY RECORDED IN NEW YORK IN 2003 WHEN JIM WAS RUNNING WITH THE SONIC YOUTHS AND VARIOUS AVANT SUPERSTARS. HERE JIM WORKS WITH KIM GORDON AND ALAN LICHT WITH A DOUBLE DRUM LINE-UP OF TIM BARNES AND CHRIS CORSANO.
THERE'S A FINE LINE BETWEEN SKILLED HORSEPLAY AND ACTUAL FUCKING AROUND AND I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GOOD ENOUGH TO SPOT THE DIFFERENCE. WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS A LIVE CONCERT THAT MESHES THAT KIM GORDON SPOKEN WORD THING WITH THE SCRAPINGS AND KLANGINGS OF A 'NO WAVE' TYPE GIG.
ULTIMATELY IT SOUNDS LIKE AN EARLY SONIC YOUTH SONG, THE KIND THAT LEE WOULD HAVE MADE, ALL HEADY BEAT POETRY AND TECTONIC GUITARS AND TRIBAL DRUMMING. THERE ARE SOME WELL-EXPLORED MOODS AND IT DOESN'T STICK AROUND TO BECOME A MASSIVE CHORE LIKE MELBOURNE DIRECT.
COMPLETELY INESSENTIAL BUT ENTIRELY OKAY.
