Live at Issue/Howl Festival 2003 22:44

about

One day in 2003 I went by the Sonic Youth studio to pick something up, or drop something off. When I got there Kim and Jim were recording a track for a compilation album, and asked if I wanted to play on it. I don't know whose idea it was for me to do vocals, but that's what I did, in a kind of sound poetry style. Needless to say, this was not a road I traveled too far down. We wound up recording two tracks that day, which came out under the band name The Supreme Indifference; one was on the Kill Rock Stars label comp "Fields & Streams" and the other on a split 7"also on KRS called "Night School" with Goxxip, Erase Errata, and Sleetmute Nightmute. A few months later Issue Project Room asked me to put together a bill for the first annual Howl Festival, so I arranged for the Supreme Indifference's first and only live show. Since Kim and Jim played drums on the recordings, we got our friends Chris Corsano and Tim Barnes to play drums for this show. It was sort of No Wave-themed in that two ex-members of Mars also played on the bill (Connie Burg in Gerry Miles, Mark Cunningham in Convolution). A fun night.

I love SY so much! I still feel like they are my band. You know, that one band that you are the only person you know who has heard of them and who listens to them. They always take me away from my present reality. Soothing noise. The acoustic version of "Star Power" is absolutely phenomenal; "Basement Contender" is heaven; "Machine" is pure SY; "Catholic Block" is so rough, it's comforting. To me, this isn't just a collection of rare songs but a full-on SY album from start to finish. John Bogeman
