Right now, i'm more bummed over the fact that BJ Penn lost to Nick social skills Diaz.

Some of the pictures you've posted in this thread are quite brilliant, Mr. Genteel Death.

thanks, and congradulations: first relevant post (including my own) in 24 pages

lol UFC.

Yes. Not that i wanted to take anything away from the split frustration.

Here's a text from a friend yesterday...
"My cousin is at a wedding and met a person who plays in Thurston's band. The band member said it's not yet official, but SY is done. She says the T&K split is ugly."
Not 100% credible, take it how you want...

that blows

please don't say such bad things.

that sucks

Betrayal, maybe. Definitely not guaranteed. And by no means is getting a divorce immature, especially considering their age. They know what they are doing and the reasons behind it. They are the only people that have the right to know. People divorce everyday...even middle aged/older people. Sometimes it really is for the best.

Their marriage, as far as I can tell, lasted longer than most. Surely that stands for something.

haha

What are the hints people speak of?

personally, I'm secretly hoping that this is all Yoko's fault.

Thurston had an affair with Yoko.

I'm not quite familiar with every english expression, so what did he mean with "the T&K split is ugly" ? That it's not happening or that it's chaotic?

He was implying chaos. That it was not a very smooth breakup and that there will be alot of bad blood.

oh, damn :(

Sonic Youth should really call it a day. they haven't been truly great for quite some time now. You will get over it, and there are more interesting people making music right now. If you can't find them, with the wealth of information that is available to you on the internet, fuck off and die. Nobody cares. You're probably more likely to get over it and perhaps stop listening to your favourite records by PJ Harvey, who's old enough to be your grandmother. There used to be a time when us old people were told to go back and listen to our records by people who recorded them in our youth. Now, it seems, more young people listen to us old people's old records, or certainly by artists who seem unable to create something that doesn't sound like them. Get your own youth culture, dickehads.

Nah, they shouldn't break up. Honestly, I don't think they will. Not the band. Not yet. I think they'll make a final statement of some kind. We know they've been recording here and there (always are), and they respect their fans and eachother too much to just drop it.

Unless this was a really messy split-up and shit's been bad between Thurston and Kim. .

I'm an old, voracious consumer. Can't help it. Would rather it not be
helped.

lol fuck off. If you don't care that's fine, but you must understand that it's not JUST about the music to some people you fuck.

my guess is they will do the south american tour, see how that goes and if they wanna continue to tour based on that. my guess is they wont tour for a very long time, if at all. adios sy.

They're probably sticking with the South American tour because bailing out would mean paying the promoter and others mucho money, and they're not a band thats ever had that sort of luxury.

The best way to answer to this is with another quote of yourself:

hold him down, Gabbers; I'm going to punch him in his stinking piehole.

Captain beefheart like bands have been the craze and in a way its already happened, probably at least twice... definitely in the late 70's early 80's with the NYC No Wave movement, whether these bands knew it or not there is a similiarity between them and beefheart especially structurally and the atonal guitars, but they didn't have a much of an audience at all until 20 or so years later... then another derivative movement in the early 00's with early Black Dice (when they were more of a noise/hardcore band), Sightings, early-Liars, and supposedly the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (not IMO though)... this was all kinda featured in that documentary called Kill Yr Idols eventhough i think the relationship between the original No NY bands and the newer generation from the past 10 or so years is pretty loose. some of these bands are pretty well known in alternative music circles now, (i.e. The Liars, & The Yeah Yeah Yeahs), I'm not sure if it would get any more popular than it has already become.

Word.

Stanislav Lec

quote:

a few years ago, both thurston and lee were asked to design some special edition mustang guitars for fender.
they were released to great fanfare.
well it turns out, kim was really disappointed that no one asked to put out HER guitar.
you know how she's always moaning on about women's rights and such.
well, it turns out, she wouldn't shut up about it, and finally Fender had to recall thurston and lee's guitars.
when forced to renegotiate, thurston and lee were to tell fender that unless they put out a kim gordon guitar,
than they couldn't lend their names to the brand.
fender refused, and the line was put out of production.
thurston and both lee were resentful of this ultra PC bent that kim forced them to adopt(as per usual. . ?)
this proved to be the final dividing line however, as thurston continually confronted kim about her ruining his passive cash cow,
and that her feminist PC stance on the guitars was really just masking her insecurities about her validity as a "real musician"
thurston exploited this to the point where kim eventually moved out of their connecticut home, and this led to thurston ultimately asking for
a divorce. apparently, he has met someone. wild flag ?

the mystery continues.

i saw thurston was at their(wild flag) show the other night.

woah. Does that quote come from that site? My school has it blocked right now....

Yeah...there's a lot wrong with that. It's...not complex.

Well how bout that...:eek:

I can't really confirm anything. Just read it today on that forum and thought I should post it on here. I wouldn't know what to believe myself. Could be only a rumour. It could be not. Who knows?

kk...finally seen it. I would love to know where that person "read" it from.
