On November 7 I bought some hosting space and a domain name. I will be moving this site in the upcoming months. Hopefully there will not be any problems. Please update your bookmarks (don't cancel this address yet) and drop me an email if you do have my site bookmarked. The geocities site will be the up and running. My new address is www.sonicyouthmusic.com and I look forward to your continued support.

Well, I'm thinking about moving my website to a new place, where I'll have more space, because right now I do not have anymore space with my geocities account. I'll be gone for 5 days so there won't be any updates.

SYR 5 is awesome. You have to buy it. School is going now so I won't be able to update my page regulary until January 2001.

Hello all, this is Lee from Sonic Youth
here, we have had a fucked up situation
come down on us over this last night--a
brand new Ryder truck parked at a Ramada
Inn in Orange County with ALL OF OUR GEAR
IN IT was STOLEN! All of our guitars,
tools, amplifiers, drums, synth --
EVERYTHING. We are fucked, both for the
show tonight at the "This Ain't No Picnic"
here in Orange Co., and for shows upcoming
this week in Austin and Santa Fe. Our
guitars are all mostly older and either
very modified and/or fucked up/beat up.
They are unmistakably ours, as are some of
the amps, including my own 60s Fender
Concert with the red/blue/yellow "Jasper
Johns-style" target on it.
We are asking ANYONE with ANY INFORMATION
about this to get in touch with us as soon
as possible by calling our man Aaron
Blitzstein in New York City at
212.343.2314, or via email to
Mascaras66@aol.com". Call collect if you
want to. Please no pranks, all, this is
really serious--all the gear we've used to
write our last few LPs worth of stuff,
instruments used for songs old and new
which if truly lost will mean those songs
will be lost forever.
Help us out if you can, there will be a
reward for any info, I'm sure. All our road
cases, etc, are fully marked up with our
name on them, the gtrs are so unusual that
they won't really be too hard to mistake.
ANY info at all will be appreciated.
If the thieves themselves read this, I'm
sure we'd rather buy the stuff back from
you than lose it forever (you fukkerz).
here are some descriptions of gear:
drums: green satin flame 60s Gretch kit (w
"paisley" glow in dark kik head
Fender ToneMaster head and 4x12 cabinet
Fender blackface Concert (4x10) w "Target
design" spraypainted on front
PeeVey RoadMaster Head
Marshal 4x12 cab
Mesa Boogie 400+ bass head/4x10 cab/18" cab
Fender Bassman head (two!)/ 2x12 fender cab
Fender presicion Bass
Gibson Les Paul Jr w snoopy sticker
Fender Jazzmasters and Jaguars--lots of
'em, mostly modified to hell (orig
electronix pulled, diff p/u's etc) and
usually way beat up.
Travis Beans--1 koa wood, one red beat to shit
White roadcase/briefcase full of gtr tools
we will post more equip info later...
thanks in advance for any help...
PLEASE PASS THIS LIST ON TO ANYONE WHO MIGHT BE OF HELP!
