thurston moore launches "protest-records.com"

"HINT, HINT!" added Moore.

do you realize how much this would r0x0r?

holy shit

despite what i think seemed like a lack of traction in some Sy projects or flattening out (maybe more to do with others' artistic rivalry, vanity even),

this is obviousley a good thing, a good new new tech use of the web -- art + new media technolgy = rock

ie current protest art has an enervating elecricity to it that you don't get no matter how many Vietnam era records you try to empathise on (if like me you weren't really around for Vietnam)

*wonders if this will this be released by Starbucks as well*

would've been a lame zing even if it was dispensed in a timely manner 3 months ago.

Months, years, all the same.

"timely"

I'm saying she could've posted that in June, when Starbucks announced their SY compilation, not that she could've posted it in 2003, when it wouldn't have made any sense. Ned with the lame zings too! (xpost)

If you insist on thinking I am making an oft-repeated zing, then consider me Sarah Silverman, of whom you are likely a fan.

The Thurston/Starbucks album is not even out yet, is it? Lol @ only talking about fashionable subjects.

I was in a conversation last night with an ILXer claiming that SY were a completely unpoliticized band. I bumped this to be all, "Ding dong, you're wrong."

Fair enough, there was subtext I couldn't have guessed based on your one-sentence post. I'm just saying, there was a pretty long thread about Sonic Youth/Starbucks like 2-3 months ago and I had no other reason to think that was a delayed zing along the same lines as a bunch of posts on that thread.

I don't understand the Sarah Silverman thing or why you're assuming I'm a fan of hers (not really, she's OK sometimes I guess).

Then perhaps THAT was an ill-placed zing ;)

And all is love.

Ned is one of those people who tries to turn any social situation into a group hug.

OTM

That or a contemplative orgy. Perhaps.

I still listen to the Jim O'Rourke/Glen Kotche cover of "Pictures of Adolf Again" from time to time. Otherwise it didn't produce much I liked.

I submitted a ton of songs to this, and even got a reply from Thurston in e-mail, but they never wound up on the site. But it seems like he just gave up on it at some point. And my songs were sort of insane.

He's opened a record shop on the street with the longest name and the greatest concentration of croissant-munching, latte-sippers in London

although Moore promises it will “keep on keepin’ on” if it’s met by success.
