Sonic Youth: Classic or Dud/S&D?

oh god please can that article never be discussed on ILM again til the end of time

haha sorry

You guys, this is really socking me in the gut. Not so much that SY might never make another record, but I really hate to see these two break up.

yeah there's something really heartbreaking to me about couples who stay together that long, seem so well matched, and then suddenly decide they're not going to stick it out all the way to the end.

ditto

huge bummer

couldn't they have at least waited til we grew up and moved out

We'll find out, I suppose, but this sounds like staying together until the child is ready to go to college...

I guess they were just waiting until baby's first band: http://bignils.bandcamp.com/album/sibling

keep ya head up coco

holy hell she's 17?

the reverse winger

lol

aw, that's a drag :(

this sucks

"I guess they were just waiting until baby's first band: http://bignils.bandcamp.com/album/sibling";

too much arguments about who is responsible for the result? lol

what's next, oprah and gayle?

Man, what chance do the rest of us have?

haha this was literally my first reaction. these people had stuck together longer than my parents, 95 percent of my friends' parents, etc etc.

that big nils thing would be totally in place on any of those old kill rock stars comps

NO MORE PANTY LINES

seems like a bummer but you never know with such big personalities they may benefit from splitting

coco's theme is basicly them saying uh-oh

I'm not gonna understand if SY stays together, w/ Kim still listening to T's stupid stage patter.

So...can we talk about this "well matched" thing. I've never understood how they could sit in the same room together for more than like five minutes? Is Thurston just mis-represented by every video image ever created, in all of which he comes off like one of the most annoying humans ever invented...?

it takes one to know one

Thurston comes off like a goober a lot, but I've always found him to be a totally mellow and easy-going dude irl.

cause that's exactly what i thought about Kim
xpost

someone give me kim's #?

haha i'd be all like uh even more than usual

damn dude she old, and a moms.

Don't get me wrong: Kim was pretty irritating too, but jesus, I remember being shocked by how fucking annoying Thurston was on a pretty much permanent basis...

well she was at that age where kids tend to learn how to say "uh oh" and then say it constantly, every time they drop something or fall or whatever. my son did that a lot for a while a few months ago and it made me remember the FK song.

we still have Yo La Tengo and Matmos

and yoko to remind us

At least Pomplamoose are still together.

i spent a fair amount of time with the whole band once, when i was working on a piece for the wire six or seven years ago

lee ranaldo was super nice and awesome - he even offered to write my article when he saw me freaking out about it ('we'll just repeat the same word over and over--they'll love it')
steve shelley was nice
thurston moore was nice, but distant
kim gordon was very icy with me, and barely gave me the time of day

Fuck, I love Lee Ranaldo.

If this means more Lee material, then bless us all!

hmmm . . . let me guess geeta u r a gurl
not like that Should matter

the david browne bio gives some pretty good insight into their contrasting personalities and how they operate as a group/business. but yeah thurston's obnoxious extroverted side and kim's aloof nature always seemed very yin/yang to me.

lee's big song-based solo album is already on the way in early '12, so we got that goin for us

also isn't this how dinosaur jr is
j is a dick
and lou rules?
maybe this is at the edge of being any comparison

i thought j was autistic and lou was emo?

murph: sophisticated center

lee is freed pig

i do like lee songs tbh

we all do tbh
