xp to how's life (and alfred): yeah, i did misread/misremember that bit. and yeah, it's a dumb thing to say - in an otherwise solid piece.

Chelsea Light Moving totally sounds like sonic youth without a kim!

and without a lee, I guess. can live with that.

a sy record without lee, thurston, kim and steve would be a classic

every time i try to listen to that chelsea light moving album i get embarrassed and have to turn it off. there are some really bad "punk" songs on there.

mainly the one where he just yells "TOO FUCKING BAD! TOO FUCKING BAD!" over and over

the guitars sound pretty good. should have been instrumental. the lyrics are sub-thurston. which is saying something.
― scott seward, Monday, 22 April 2013 21:33 (eleven years ago) link
Thurston unchecked is entirely embarrassing.
I've never been a huge fan of his, either in or out of SY, but now I can hate on him for additional reasons.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 22 April 2013 21:34 (eleven years ago) link
Thurston's got a good amount of enjoyable non-SY stuff, song-based and not, but yeah i cannot dig the CLM album

You guys really need to grab the Body/Head/Gate LP stat
― Raymond Cummings, Monday, 22 April 2013 21:46 (eleven years ago) link
Thurston's NOISE is usually choice, song based stuff is hit/miss (ditto for Lee)
― Raymond Cummings, Monday, 22 April 2013 21:47 (eleven years ago) link
I liked Trees Outside the Academy a lot more than the last couple of SY albums, never heard any of his more avant solo stuff though.

while this is definitely an unromantic bummer, I must admit I'd rather be dating a hot young sycophant than married to Kim Gordon. And I can also see preferring juggling successful suitors to being with Thurston Moore. So maybe everyone's better off.
― da croupier, Monday, 22 April 2013 22:36 (eleven years ago) link
Kim Gordon is better off because she was publicly humiliated and dumped for a hotter piece of ass?

ugh are you kidding dating in your 50s/60s sounds like a total nightmare. double for anyone as famous/infamous as Gordon

yeah, i dunno, they're just a couple who broke up. I mean, it's sort of a bummer, but lots of couples break up -- even feminist noize rockers!

I kind of don't care about any of this, it's not like they're role models or friends of mine. But I do like their music as Sonic Youth and thought the Eternal was decent but not what I'd like to hear as their Last Album.

kim makes me nervous in real life. not in a bad way, just nervous. she has that stare. I definitely wouldn't want to forget to take out the garbage in her house.

Someone just do a mock up of Thurston and Kim on the cover of Rumours and be done with it.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 22 April 2013 22:53 (eleven years ago) link
i haven't heard this Chelsea Lite thing, but can this "TOO FUCKING BAD! TOO FUCKING BAD!" thing be read in a Rumours-like capacity?
― da croupier, Monday, 22 April 2013 22:54 (eleven years ago) link
i'd be bummed if georgia hubley and ira kaplan broke up i suppose -- but they've have made their relationship a part of their songs. At least they sing love songs, right? Kim & Thurston's relationship was never really presented as such in Sonic Youth's music. [not sure if that makes sense but...]
― tylerw, Monday, 22 April 2013 22:56 (eleven years ago) link
iirc xgau's reaction on his blog was something about how it sucks but he always thought k&t lived really separate lives, while ira & georgia splitting would really bum him out

But if you were counting on them, or anyone else, as proof that interesting tastes and shared passions could create some version of adulthood and marriage any easier than the one you grew up looking at, then sorry: Your parents were probably right about that part.
