I HAD A DREAM THAT THE NOISE BOARD HAD ITS OWN SLASHDOT ICON/CATEGORY

I had a dream I had an awesome dream
People in the park playing games in the dark
And what they played was a masquerade
And from behind of walls of doubt a voice was crying out

Say you, say me...

As we go down life’s lonesome highway
Seems the hardest thing to do is to find a friend or two
A helping hand - some one who understands
That when you feel you’ve lost your way
You’ve got some one there to say I’ll show you

So you think you know the answers - oh no
’couse the whole world has got you dancing
That’s right - I’m telling you
It’s time to start believing - oh yes
Believing who you are: you are a shining star

Say it together... naturally.

I DO NOT BUY THIS

Boredoms' Super Roots Coming to America
Quanah Humphreys reports:
There's a huge disconnect between the spastic, ADD-addled bursts of
noise that brought the Boredoms to America's attention in the early
1990s (and later, inexplicably, to attendees of Lollapalooza in 1994)
and the trippy extended jams that the band favors nowadays.

Somewhere in the Boredoms evolutionary trail there was a missing link
(Boredom Erectus?) that connected the two sounds. This fall, Vice
Records begins filling in that gap with reissues of five 90s Boredoms
records, four of which have never been released in the U.S. Super
Roots 3 (1994), and Super Roots 5 (1995) come first, followed by
Super Roots 6 (1996), previously released in the US by Reprise but
now out of print, and the combination of singles and remixes
contained on Super Roots 7 (1998) and Super Roots 8 (1999). None of
the reissues will have any of that bonus track nonsense.

(Hey, where's Super Roots 4? Was it so evil that it had to be
destroyed???

Rooty:

Super Roots 3:

01 Hard Trance Away (Karaoke of Cosmos)

Super Roots 5:

01 Jungle Taitei
02 Jungle Taitei [DJ Let's Try & D.I.Y. - Drum Machine Mix by Eye]
03 Jungle Taitei [Laughter Robot's Hemp Mix - remixed by Yann Tomita]

Some folks (OK maybe just me) expressed apprehension about seeing the
Boredoms on their American mini-tour last year due to their drastic
change in sound; well, we were all suckers. Luckily, the band is
coming back for a second round of dates with the same touring line-up
of front-man Yamatsuka Eye, drummers Yojiro and Yoshimi (yes, the
robot fighter), and new Boredoms member Muneomi Senju. Word of advice
about their hour-plus set: Take the pee break before they start.

Love it loud:

05-20 Camber Sands, England - Camber Sands Holiday Centre (All
Tomorrow's Parties) *$
05-22 Berlin, Germany - Maria am Ostbahnhof
05-26 Dublin, Ireland - Temple Bar Music Centre

06-25 St. Paul, MN - Turf Club (End Times Festival)
06-27 Columbus, OH - Wexner Center
06-28 Cleveland Heights, OH - Grog Shop
06-30 Philadelphia, PA - Starlight Ballroom *
07-07 New York, NY - Deitch Projects

* with Lightning Bolt
$ with Sleater-Kinney, David Cross, the Gossip, Spoon, Joanna Newsom,

# with Alexander Tucker

Anyone in New York wanting to see the Boredoms this time around but
who already has his/her money pegged for snow cones and Italian ice,
don't fret. Those two Deitch Projects shows are completely free.
They're part of Yamatsuka Eye's 77 Drum installation, which features,
yes, 77 drum kits, which Eye will use for "artwork, architecture, and
principally for activation." Of course, "activation" means "to wail
on and make an awesome racket."

Eye has done double-duty over the years, both leading Boredoms and
working as an artist, the latter evidenced mainly in the U.S. by his
cover art and liner notes for Boredoms albums. This exhibition at 18
Wooster Street sees him joined by a slew of additional artists to
round out the spectacle, including Hisham Bharoocha (ex-Black Dice,
now of Soft Circle) and Mark Borthwick (who made the Cat Power
Speaking for Trees movie).

Quanah Humphreys reports: Chan Marshall's immune system: it's the greatest! Bouncing back from those ominous and vague "health issues" that forced the cancellation of Cat Power's late-winter tour in support of her latest album, The Greatest , Marshall has announced a smattering of dates surrounding her appearances at the Coachella and Bonnaroo festivals this spring.

I bet the rumored box really was that stuff (+SR 1 and 2), and they just decided it wouldn't be worth it

i shot an email to vice records and they denied the box set rumour. here's what a guy
named adam said

"Hi Ryan-

This is not true at all, I don't know where they got this information
from.
We are discussing re-releasing some of the Super Roots records in the
US,
but nothing has been confirmed, and there will not be a box set. That
will
wait until Super Roots 10, whenever that will be.

Thanks for the info on Yamamoto- very appreciated.

Adam"

so there you go. at least it might be some good news for those of you still tracking
down the super roots series, though the "super roots 10" crack no doubt sounds
facetious.

ps doms, i'm actually going to see hijokaidan and ron ruins the night of olaibi. tough
call i know, but it will be probably one my only chances to see hijokaidan.

a guy named adam sets the record straight. I wish I could go see shows, but that day will come

wtf re: chan marshall, like it's anybody's business (except hers and uh i guess a few others).

Philly show! I might make that
