I was talking about this actually - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Re...Remix%3F
Eye remixes of other artists, described thusly by Other Music -
"a collection of remix and DJ work by Boredoms frontman Yamataka EYE, is all killer, no filler. EYE's been no stranger to the remix world -- he's been tearing tracks apart (mostly for Japanese indie, hip-hop, and dance artists, many unfamiliar to Western audiences) and rebuilding them as stomping tropical monsters since around the Super Ae period, turning anything he touches into jungle music in a quite literal sense (though not necessarily the drum-n-bass sense)."

it fucking sucks when some "freebird" type loser shouts out "acid poice-ayyy" during a quiet moment. happens every time. Does that really happen at every show? In mpls someone did it before the encore began and Eye just smiled and said it back. It seemed like a nice moment at the time. The sound effects heckling (I don't know what else to call it), unfortunately, was mid song.

you mean Rebore Vol. 0? They had at least one copy in Portland.

goddamn it, we both played ourselves (i got one shortly after you). did the same thing with that dungen - ta det lungt thing. ordered from norway or wherever, and then a year later they flooded stateside.

i don't really know, was talking out of my ass. saw them at bowery ballroom and it happened. saw them at shepards bush empire and it happened. want to say it happened a third time somewhere, but i can't picture where it would have been so i guess i've only seen them perform twice.

sanskrit, if it makes you feel any better the Rebore copies were 50 bucks plus $5 to check the item for the night. not TOO much cheaper!

I was a bit bummed that the Super Roots CD were selling for $20 each. I don't paying a little more at a show for something I can get at a local store, if it increases the chances of a band I love from coming back to tour here again. On the other hand, those Super Roots CDs are, what, 10 bucks elsewhere? 2x the normal price breaks my loyalty threshold. :/
― Mackro Mackro, Thursday, 27 March 2008 16:51 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't mind paying, etc.
Were they the Vice reissues? I could understand it if they were the import versions.
― o. nate, Thursday, 27 March 2008 16:53 (sixteen years ago) link
cds and records are supposed to be CHEAPER at gigs!!!
― s1ocki, Thursday, 27 March 2008 16:54 (sixteen years ago) link
you're cutting out the middleman and the band makes WAY more by selling htem to you directly.
― s1ocki, Thursday, 27 March 2008 16:55 (sixteen years ago) link
Just went to the show last night in Chicago, and agreed about the prices being high, but I guess they have to make a living and it's a capitalist system, so if people are willing to pay it, go ahead. But yeah, $20 for Super Roots is quite much, especially when most of them aren't that long. I was more interested in some Yoshimi thing, but it was $40. There was also the Yoshimi and Mats Gustafsson collab for $30, which I think my local store had for $17 or $18. No Eye - Re: Remix though, sadly, but then that would have probably cost $40 too.
ANYWAY, the show itself was TREMENDOUS & SUPER, as everyone has said. It was my 2nd time seeing them, and having the 7-necked guitar thing added a lot to it, both musically and visually. And having the show in the round and being able to stand right beside the stage, specifically next to Eye's set-up was great. I can't believe he was still able to move around and even jump as much as he did with the broken foot. Very impressive indeed. Boredoms for life!
P.S. Does anyone have any idea about the music being played between bands? It was various tribal chant type stuff, probably just from comp's maybe, but I wouldn't mind checking out more of that kind of thing.

Yunnan Colorfree? it is v good
― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Thursday, 27 March 2008 17:26 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't think it was Yunan Colorfree, looking at the cover of that one. Sounds cool though, cover of Death Valley 69 with Kim Gordon! I don't remember the title of what was there last night, unfortunately. There was also a DVD of OOIOO videos, I think that was $50. Does anyone have that Live at Sun Flancisco CD/DVD? Would love to see the footage, but can't justify spending $53 for it.

This coming August 8th, in New York, Boredoms will be heading up a sequal to the 77 Drummer Boadrum concert that was held under the Brooklyn Bridge. This year, 8/8/08, there will be eighty-eight drummers. Numerology aligns expansion.
― sleep, Thursday, 27 March 2008 17:45 (sixteen years ago) link
Sure, but they were selling the Vice reissue CDs (not imports as o nate inquired) for $20 each, which I can find for $10 at any store in town.
Hey, they can sell the CDs for any price they want! Whatever. But if they don't sell any because they're jacked too high, then that hurts the Bores too. Weak dollar sucks for anyone touring the U.S., whether the band is from the U.S. or not. Just sayin'.

$10 refers to wrapped/new/sealed, btw

I have it and its not worth it
I would also like to know about this
Show was FANTASTIC yesterday, although not as completely mind-blowing as when I saw them at Intonation, despite lack of length/encore.

this sounds like a recipe for disaster
Other Music is very excited to be hosting an in-store performance with Japan's legendary Boredoms, who will be playing in the round on the shop floor this Monday, March 31st!! As you can imagine, space will be extremely limited, so starting today (Friday) at 6:00PM, we're going to give single-person passes to the first 50 people who come into the shop and purchase their new album Super Roots 9, out on Thrill Jockey (one CD per customer -- sorry, no web orders). Your receipt will be your ticket, which you'll need to have with you to gain entrance on Monday night.

I'm gonna be completely honest - I saw them last night in DC and I was bored outta my fucking mind. Not even the good kind of bored where you can go to sleep, but the kind where you get really agitated and can't sit still. I've seen them before and enjoyed it. I don't think it's that the show got worse (although maybe it did a little bit from the shit they were doing a couple years ago), but I think I'm outgrowing any kind of "experimental" music. I used to love the shit, but now I just like old plain-ass country rock.
