the kind of event where you meet a hot Meg Ryan look alike that you later take to your aparment to casually listen to your cha-cha-cha raers while sipping wine and smiling like you are Hugh Grant in a romantic comedy.
(Unbunch your panties, I dig on Vision Creation Newsun and Seadrum/House of Sun....just saying)
yeah i love those albums too. the song i posted from vision creation newsun reminds me of 'future days'. so does Can suck now because too many "hipsters" like them?
Haven't seen the clips posted or didn't go to the show......but if this was 77 dirty-ass hippies in Austin would the tastiest of SS-approved taste-makers be singing the praises or would Harvey Canal be in the fight of his month? I'm sure it's apples to oranges, but the question is begged.
I really wanted to attend this, if not participate. Now I find out Otomo Yoshihide was there too? GOD DAMMIT!!! I hope a full document (DVD) will come out of this.
EDIT: Nevermind. It was someone who has played FOR Otomo Yoshihide.
Br*an what bone do you have to pick with a performance you didn't even know about until today?
I wish I could have gone. Even if it was a bunch of dirty hippies in Austin... with The Boredoms.
I rep the drum circle. I'm from Berkeley. (not an "Actual New Yorker" related)
I'm not picking any bones w/ the performance whatsoever. Like I said, I like the Boredoms. I like Boredoms post-2000 drum circle steez. Were it here I'd break out the nugs and stand in line.
I was making a mere point about drum circles in general. This is what yr Uncle Brian thinks about. It's not a big leap. I'm connecting dots here.
Maybe I was mistaken in thinking the Strut had ever forsaken the drum circle. If so, my apologies.
it was hot. i waited in line too long, but it was fucking great once we were inside. the drum patterns ranged from simple to fire, but the best part was the slapback heard when everyone hit the rack toms at the same time and it echoed in between the brooklyn and manhattan bridges. i could have done without all the trance-like vocals though. it seemed like he just bought a delay pedal that day and wanted to play with it. otherwise it was hot. i sat behind Chris Powell from Man Man and dude is real tight on the kit.
I believe what that is a bunch of homemade lapsteel guitars mounted on drum hardware. That's actually kinda cool. I do wish I had seen that.
Judging by the bug-up-the-ass pseudo-hipper than thou reactions of the folks here who did attend and won't brook any criticism whatsoever, however, I am now absolutely sure I didn't miss a damn thing worth suffering such company for. 2000+ scene points for you!
Do me a favor:turn out the lights in Williamsburg (or Bushwick) on your way back to Ohio, and get out of my city.
Sincerely, An actual New Yorker
God you're an idiot. Quit making all these pretentious indictments based on assumptions. You heard a rehearsal from outside the venue and suddenly you're in a position to criticize the actual event?

It seems like "Private Mind Garden" is now obsolete for this website.
Tight.
It's funny that drum circles are cool again now. (Unbunch your panties, I dig on Vision Creation Newsun and Seadrum/House of Sun....just saying)
We truly are in the presence of greatness though. Had no idea Paychex was a RAP expert *and* a Boredoms expert.
A rabbi once told me God said not to eat pork.
But that's neither here nor there. Carry on.
I'm not one to dispute my own greatness but I am far from a Boredoms expert
am i totally missing the sarcasm here?
Unfortunately....
...no.

The Boredoms are cool. Tridents are REALLY cool.

At least Sara Lund was there.
So it wasn't a 77 person drum circle? I mean there's a diagram and everything Daddy-O.
Thankfully it was 77 accomplished drummers in New York City
with 7.1 DTS for me. Thanks.
Right, like the dude from Crash Worship, the MOST POPULAR TOURING DRUM CIRCLE BAND EVER.
"Accomplished" applied to that list is more than a stretch.
But hey, IT WAS IN NYC!!! REP 'DAT!!!

You sound mad that you don't live in New York.

I am so goddamn mad that I don't live in New York. My knuckles are actually bloody from pounding the desk today over JUST this topic.
MY BAD.

was this a white people only event?
(there, in my next post I will talk about Kanye West or the rehab singing chick or 320 kpbs mp3s)
Aren't all drum circles?
(For my next post, I'll be requesting the sample sources of the entirety of the first Quasimoto album. Prepareth thyselves.)
No. There's one that goes on every Sunday in Prospect Park that is surprisingly multicultural.
The exception that proves the rule, perhaps? Or does stoned hippy-dippiness know no skin tone?
Asshurt non-New Yorkers want to know.
