Why did I think that article would give any clues as to whether there would be another SY album or not.

they could make a (good) record without Gordon (but now without Moore of course)

Lee + Steve + Watt + Mascis album plz, Ciccone Youth 2

a record w/o Kim is not Sonic Youth, as they and anyone else should know

you can otm how much you want, but we all know a record of Sonic Youth/whatever without Kim, will be hyped as fuck all over, even here.
― nostormo, Monday, 22 April 2013 20:09 (eleven years ago) link
hey i'll check out almost anything any of them do outside the group, in any combination or individually, as i always have. if the whole band minus Kim went and did the most SY-ish thing they could under another name, though, that would leave a bad taste in my mouth.
― some dude, Monday, 22 April 2013 20:16 (eleven years ago) link
any album worthy of the name ought to have Kim involved, though if she declined an they started calling themselves something like "Thurston Moore's Sonic Youth" I would lol

"Some years ago, a woman Gordon declines to name became a part of the Sonic Youth world, first as the girlfriend of an erstwhile band member and later as a partner on a literary project with Moore."

I'm curious which "Chicago art school" Coco is currently attending. I mean, I'd guess the Art Institute, but maybe Columbia College?

i'm guessing eva prinz is the other woman, with very little basis

i've read a lot worse in SERIOUS music magazines, enjoyed the article
why does sonic youth need to continue? they were a band for a long time

it has nothing to do w/ elle's ability to cover music, i think SM was just hoping there'd be some concrete reference to the band's future or lack thereof
― some dude, Monday, 22 April 2013 20:34 (eleven years ago) link
oh ha i didn't even see that kahn lives in northampton. there are a lot more photos of thurston and prinz together and a little bit of internet gossip linking them, that's why i guessed it was her.

Phenomenal article, and all the comments about how Kim inspired the men in her circle to be better men rang very true.
― Davek (davek_00), Monday, 22 April 2013 20:40 (eleven years ago) link
enjoyed reading that elle profile. no great revelations, but a fine survey and tribute, and it sounds like she's doing okay (for whatever that's worth). looking forward to whatever comes next from all parties. agree that it would be kind of gauche for the band to continue on as sy without her, but a name's worth a lot and theirs more than most, so i wouldn't be too surprised.

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
― huun huurt 2 (Hurting 2), Monday, 22 April 2013 20:56 (eleven years ago) link
yeah it would be more awesome if they split over a fight about the importance of Britney Spears or something

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

Author does appear to be saying that Gordon's interest lent depth to the pop stars.
