OOIOO, “OOIAH” MP3
- story Peter Macia
This one from Boredom’s Yoshimi and her side-job OOIOO was on the internet a week ago but it wasn’t in this Flickr set so we missed it. It also just so happens that we’ve been listening to OOIOO’s new album Armonico Hewa a lot lately because the the weather, the work and the weekends have all been so hectic and disorienting that only freaky Japanese psych pop and Tangerine Dream are making sense. The album is out now on Thrill Jockey, and in addition to “OOIAH,” which is good for midday mayhem, we highly recommend “Orokai” for morning calisthenics and “Honki Ponki” for happy hour.

ATP New York 2009: Babies and Drums
- story Peter Macia
- photo Abbey Braden
Boredoms’ drummer Yojiro (YO2RO) Tatekawa was carried into the main performance space on a platform carried by eight dudes, ten minutes into the already heart-exploding Boadrum 9 reprise at ATP New York last Sunday. He bashed on his drums so hard, it was unclear whether they would be able to hold him up. They did, and an hour later, Tatekawa and his bandmate Yoshimi were walking around with a bunch of awesome little Boredoms babies, on their way to participate in Oneida’s marathon 13-hour performance and then check out Boris’ volcanic replay of their album Feedbacker. Jim Jarmusch looked pretty psyched on Boris too. This was basically the vibe at Kutsher’s Country Club, a tarnished gem of the Catskills social set, where VIP is nonexistent and there was always something happening that was going to destroy your eardrums for, as of post time, at least two or three days.

Boredoms and Gang Gang Dance Played on Russian Ferry During an Eclipse
- story Matthew Schnipper
We have been trying to ferret reports of Boredoms and Gang Gang Dance playing on a Russian ferry boat during a solar eclipse on July 22nd, but have, until now, been fruitless. But Brian Degraw of Gang Gang Dance put up a few choice shots. We stole a couple and put them up after the jump, all of which revolve around the fact that Boredoms and Gang Gang Dance played on a Russian ferry boat during a solar eclipse.

888Boadrum REVISITED
- story THE FADER
On Friday night we experienced the second in a series of shows we didn’t know would ever be a series. For the New York installment, Gang Gang Dance led 88 drummers including Panda Bear and XXXchange in what was basically a superpercussion heavy Gang Gang Dance show. We drank wine and looked at the city and watched people drum for 88 minutes. It was the first time we remember being cold in awhile, but it wasn’t too cold. After the jump read 88 thoughts and answers to those thoughts from FADER editors Matthew Schnipper and Sam Hockley-Smith.

Live: Boredoms In New York City
- story THE FADER
In this 2004 review of an Electrelane concert, Kelefa Sanneh said “More often than not, the pleasure of going to a rock show is the pleasure of demystification. You can watch how the music is made, remembering that what seems so indivisible on CD is really just an assemblage of sounds and gestures, poses and outbursts, cues and miscues. At the end you may feel as if you’ve learned something about the way this band works.” Click more to see what we learned about Boredoms and ourselves last night at Terminal 5 in New York City:
