Their first EP is an absolute monument in post-punk worthy of rubbing shoulders with PIL in my opinion.
― Bimble, Monday, 24 September 2007 03:29 (sixteen years ago) link
Yes! I feel like one of those arbitrary revisionists who always piss me off, but I swear that first EP is, in hindsight, the best thing they ever did.

>basically the most hummable numbers

― Vichitravirya_XI, Wednesday, 23 April 2008 17:28 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't think I'd describe 5 out of the 8? minutes of Mote as hummable actually
― Vichitravirya_XI, Wednesday, 23 April 2008 17:29 (sixteen years ago) link
you can hum whatever you want! win win!

Battery Park show broadcasting live on WFMU right now :D
just started, they're on their first song
― dmr, Friday, 4 July 2008 21:07 (fifteen years ago) link
This is awesome! Thanks for the tip.
― Sundar, Friday, 4 July 2008 21:38 (fifteen years ago) link
no prob, I was stuck at work just a few blocks away from where they were playing! so I was glad I got to listen to it
I wonder why they didn't broadcast the Feelies ... ?
― dmr, Friday, 4 July 2008 22:25 (fifteen years ago) link
oh shit they're broadcasting...now???
― Bimble Is Still More Goth Than You, Friday, 4 July 2008 22:29 (fifteen years ago) link
okay what link am I supposed to click on? You guys are holding out.
― Bimble Is Still More Goth Than You, Friday, 4 July 2008 22:31 (fifteen years ago) link
Is this the right link? What do I do when I get here? http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2008/06/reminder-sonic.html
Help please thanx

(1 hour ago)
it's over now, it was from about 5 to 6:15
I'm sure they'll archive it but it probably won't be up right away
― dmr, Friday, 4 July 2008 22:36 (fifteen years ago) link
the concert was INCREDIBLE! and with Mark Ibold on bass? I'd neven seen them live, and I was gobsmacked. Thurston was amusing too - when Kim forgot the words - "she's injecting the lyrics now". When he friend a guitar cable - "we need bluetooth up in this piece".
― jermainetwo, Saturday, 5 July 2008 16:33 (fifteen years ago) link
One thing's for sure though: Moore is enjoying the relative freedom that comes with a return to indie-dom. "It feels great," he told Rock & Roll Daily. "The last four or five records we did were just so compromised by that [major label] situation. But that's the way it goes."
asshole. Those last three records, at least, were fantastic. But I guess that was just because the major label made them do it.
― Euler, Tuesday, 26 August 2008 21:24 (fifteen years ago) link
I don't think he's saying they aren't good records.
― Alex in SF, Tuesday, 26 August 2008 21:32 (fifteen years ago) link
I agree, but I still wonder what he means by compromised. Obviously Geffen is not forcing them to make records with big radio singles.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 26 August 2008 21:33 (fifteen years ago) link
I get that, but what's he mean by saying they were "compromised"? xp lol
― Euler, Tuesday, 26 August 2008 21:34 (fifteen years ago) link
who did they sign with?
― Steve Shasta, Tuesday, 26 August 2008 21:34 (fifteen years ago) link
article is coy (decision isn't public yet), but suggests either Domino or Matador
― Euler, Tuesday, 26 August 2008 21:35 (fifteen years ago) link
Where's this article?
― Alex in SF, Tuesday, 26 August 2008 21:38 (fifteen years ago) link
pitchfork lol
― Euler, Tuesday, 26 August 2008 21:39 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, aside from Rather Ripped's much shorter song running times, I'm really at a loss on what the label might've leaned on them to do on the last 4 albums, especially compared to the pressure the band was likely under circa Dirty. I always just figured, they have so many outlets for instrumental and/or abrasive noisy stuff with the SYR series and all those side projects that the proper albums were the way they were by choice.
― some dude, Tuesday, 26 August 2008 22:54 (fifteen years ago) link
I think this means he wants the next one to sound like Bull Tongue.
― contenderizer, Tuesday, 26 August 2008 22:57 (fifteen years ago) link
Maybe he just means the experience of having to work with a major label took some of the fun out of releasing those albums.
― Dan S, Tuesday, 26 August 2008 23:04 (fifteen years ago) link
What a fucktard. Sonic Youth are easily the most out-there band signed to a major these days.
― Mr. Snrub, Wednesday, 27 August 2008 01:33 (fifteen years ago) link
maybe it is you who are the fucktard
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 27 August 2008 01:35 (fifteen years ago) link
If Moore thinks A Thousand Leaves, Sonic Nurse, Murray Street, and Rather Ripped are "compromised," then more artists should cut deals with major labels this cutthroat.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Wednesday, 27 August 2008 01:46 (fifteen years ago) link
Actually the key example here is NYC Ghosts & Flowers surely. I suspect Dan is right - perhaps it was things like being locked into a particular release time, or having to meet with major label publicists, or not having any control over their album-promotion etc. etc.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 27 August 2008 02:38 (fifteen years ago) link
i was under the impression the band chose to release all of their last 5 albums in May or June on purpose to do tour/promo in the summer while their kids weren't in school.
― some dude, Wednesday, 27 August 2008 03:13 (fifteen years ago) link
so changing the subject, is SYR 7: J'Accuse/Ted Hughes going to get a CD release? I don't mind downloading a vinyl rip, but my numerology/OCD complex with the SYR series is now totally misaligned with the latest SYR 8 CD! FUCK! HELP!

KERFUFFLE
How is the recent one with Merzbow?
― krakow, Wednesday, 27 August 2008 06:41 (fifteen years ago) link
Mackro the solution is to repurchase all of the SYR series on vinyl ;-)
― augustgarage, Thursday, 28 August 2008 03:13 (fifteen years ago) link
fucking amazing. best piece of the SYR series thus far.
