yeah they wouldn't.
whatever they do, i'm very skeptical of another really GREAT sy-related record in the future

her interest in Karen Carpenter, Madonna, and, more recently, Britney Spears lent them depth)
Her interest in them -- her rethinking of them -- has nothing to do with lending them depth.

something sort of melancholic about the fact that this iconic avant garde/feminist couple broke up in this cliched midlife crisis kind of way

yeah it would be more awesome if they split over a fight about the importance of Britney Spears or something
― nostormo, Monday, 22 April 2013 20:58 (eleven years ago) link
would be more awesome if Britney wrote a song called "Kim Gordon and the Future of Rock Marriage"

but jokes aside, yeah it's one of those things that just makes me feel like the world is fucked up, like the end of crimes and misdemeanors.
oh yeah, i completely agree that they won't use the name. not initially. but after a few years, especially if their other ventures aren't well received...
i don't know, obviously. anyway, re alfred: i thought the author's point was that kim's interest in those figures lent sonic youth depth, but perhaps i misunderstood.
the end of crimes and misdemeanors otm

what a surprise. Kim and Thurston are regular human beings after all.

Poor Kim, all having to sneak a peak at Thurston's phone. The momentous weight of the confirmed suspicion.:(

would much rather see them carry on without thurston than without kim.

de facto professor of modern feminist pop mystique (her interest in Karen Carpenter, Madonna, and, more recently, Britney Spears lent them depth).
Author does appear to be saying that Gordon's interest lent depth to the pop stars.

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!
― scott seward, Monday, 22 April 2013 21:20 (eleven years ago) link
and without a lee, I guess. can live with that.
― scott seward, Monday, 22 April 2013 21:21 (eleven years ago) link
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.

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
― some dude, Monday, 22 April 2013 21:36 (eleven years ago) link
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.

Thurston should return to Coral Gables. We got gastropubs now!

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
