SYR9 referenced on messageboard in another language?
 

Somehow I found this... (scroll down a few posts, to the person with the Jim O'Roarke album avatar), anyone make heads or tales of it?

Well it's on a Finnish website, reads:

^ nor forget these:

In The Fishtank vol. 15 - Merkattu maa
SYR 9: Sonic Youth / Merkattu maa



Doesn't say alot else, anyone know who/what Merkattu Maa is?

nic... I have dialup right now... what's the youtube clip?

ah, a hilarious band playing live in a club called "Merkattu maa", to my understanding...

Merkattu maa is apparently the name of the band:

http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkattu_Maa

You can also find their lyrics online if you're interested.

So do we have any proof that this band worked with SY, or is this some Finnish dude's idea of a joke?

I think they're just joking about how SYR9 should be a collaboration between SY and this band... I may be wrong though

ha ha yes that's what I was trying to say but my bad grammar make it look like the club was called "merkattu maa" raher than the band....

I think it's all a joke
like we posted something about a syr with Sonic Youth and Enrique Iglesias.

real funny Finland. Real funny.

Lets all forget we were semi-fooled by this and never speak of it again.

Just everyone please silently vow never to buy a Merkattu Maa record, for christ's sake.

seed as in condom.

what?

I do wonder of atsonicpark is okay these days, he seems to post random incoherant nonesense at inappropriate times, and reps me for reasons I don't understand.

I didn't say stop though.

yeah. sometimes he's ok. but other times I think he's on drugs.

robotrippin' is not a crime!

killed Pimp C, though.

Merkattu Maa translated into english is Marked Land.
