that reminds me has anyone heard anything about the supposed 77 drummer boredoms show happening on 7/7/07 in nyc?

Live Earth is also 7/7/7, not that anyone who cares about Cat Power and Built to Spill is going to care.

Pauls Birthday is also 7/7/7

Comes the light
Comes the flame
Comes the child who is

Come the sword
Come the flame
Come the end of blisss reign

Come the dawn
Come the day
Wake the softest soul up

Come the fire
Come the change
Lick the rose of venus shame

Come the night
Come the death
Down the path out of

Seven
Seven
Seven is my name
Seven come
And seven go
And seven
Still remain, yea

Seven
Seven
Seven is my name
Seven on the grandest scale
And seven
Still remain, yea, remain

And the light
And the flame
Take the path on

And the night
And the day
Fall upon the knees of

And the child
In the flames
Casted out of eden

Seven
Seven
Seven is my name
Seven come
And seven go
And seven
Still remain, yea

Seven
Seven
Seven is my name
Seven on the grandest scale
And seven
Still remain, yea, yea

Seven on
Seven on
Seven on
Remain, yea

thanks anon, however that pdf is actually from last year(note the date) when they initially tried to make the 77 drum thing happen and it didnt pan out.

oops...i didn't even read the date.

however, upon further research, i did find this from the vice records website:

The Boredoms have been blasting their way to the forefront of Japan's noise-music community since 1987. VICE loves them so much we're reissuing 6 Boredoms records in 2007. On January 23 we're putting out Super Roots, Super Roots 3 and Super Roots 5 and on February 20 we're releasing Super Roots 6, Super Roots 7 and Super Roots 8 into the world. These albums, EPs, singles and remixes begin with the band at their most violent and absurdist and ends with them at their most magnificently tranced-out and blissful. You can read all about it over here.

Check out the noise with "Jungle Taitei" from Super Roots 8. Oh, and if you happen to be in NYC on 7-7-07, stay tuned as the Boredoms will be premiering their greatest work yet, 77 DRUM. A performance by the Boredoms with 77 drummers.

BV,

Thanks for that BtS you tube clip. That is awesome.

And Doug Martsch's beard there is fierce.

there booze in that mug chan?

who is headlining this show? i have tickets and would hate if B2S have to take a backseat and play a short setlist.

RE: The Boredoms 77 Drummers thing- it's going to be at Brooklyn Bridge Park on 7/7/7:

I'm seeing if I can afford to come over from London for it...

Apologies if this is not really the place to post this.

where can you buy tickets for mccarren park concerts aside from bullshit ticketmaster?

Went to the Cat Power show on Saturday--Who knew SHE was opening? None of us did. So when we showed up to see her at 8:30 she was already done and Built to Spill was just starting. Can even tell you how disappointed we were. The website, the tickets everything implied that she was the headliner. What a waste of $44!

the hard ticket said Built To Spill and Cat Power so that implied BTS were playing last. also, if you went on ticketmaster.com, it said doors at 5. so that was pretty obvious that the last band wouldn't be going on too late.

i'm with you Jocelyn; everything i had seen/heard indicated (to me) that Cat Power was the headliner. Got there around 8:15-8:30 and missed her as well. Ticketmaster said 5; the McCarren website said 7:30, i figured doors at 5, Bob Mould at 6, BTS around 7:30, and Cat Power around 9 or so. Obviously, wrong. not trying blame anything other than myself, just sharing my disappointment. Luckily BTS was really, really awesome, so that sort of made up for it.

Why would BTS open for Cat Power? Doesn't make sense.

exactly... Built to Spill is the much bigger act here. I love Cat Power, and she put on a terrific set, but BTS are, without question, the headliners in this situation.

Am I the only person who thought CP fell off the wagon and was plenty tipsy? Half the times she tried to banter w/ the crowd she couldn't put a sentence together.

Artists need to get over the notion that fans paying $40 to see them want to hear mostly new/unreleased songs they've never heard. Always disappoints.
