Thank you!

Robert Christgau has a section on his website called Xgau Sez, where he answers questions from his readers. Recently, one of them asked him whether he's "always monitoring the endless stream of archival concert releases and crate digs" (this after Christgau wrote that some artists "redefine their music in concert") by the likes of the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie... and Sonic Youth. Xgau's take on Battery Park: "The Sonic Youth I've been playing with pleasure for weeks. I believe the '00s were their live peak. Kim is incendiary."

It was indeed. Stu was the man in the Stones, and is the man here! :cool:

Holy cow! I didn't know Stu was in the Stones! Why did he never tell?

Got an update on this release in the mail. You can subscribe as well, via the above link:

Do reissues/represses count in this thread? Anyway, this will do as a nice companion piece to the above STUMM433 release. Saw it on the Forced Exposure newsletter, I added the red highlighting:

Interesting, just saw the full tracklist at Discogs. I think the ultimate silence album is Marcel Marceau (yes, that Marcel Marceau)'s Ruhe Im Spiegelbild. Exactly what you would expect from the most famous mime in history: two full sides of complete silence. Although I think there's some audience clapping at the end...

From Lee's site:



would this be the "Lee Ranaldo/Raul Referee -"electronics-heavy” duo album" as mentioned on the first post on this thread, or is this something else?
to answer my own question: it is, and there will be a Europe/UK tour in March until May 2020. However on that page the music is described as follows:



to add to the mystery, there is also this FB post
and does anyone know the password? Tease me Lee :D

^ Hot DAMN!

Picked up a new Body/Head 12” at the gig last night. “Ego Death Blues” Open Mouth #65. Lathe Edition of 50.

:D

I remember them crazy prices on the eBay when in came out first time, in limited numbers as a part of RSD.

Fucking hell, knew I should've tried to make it over. Clear wax is pretty. Had a scan through the rest of the pics you've got on your Facebook - you've got a copy of Hassle Fest as well? That's just cheating man.

That Thurston 3 lp box sounds amazing! I haven't been this excited for something youth oriented since the first body/head!!!

So it turns out that the vinyl edition of Michael Rother's Solo box set (I posted about it back in February) includes a performance of "Drone Schlager" by what would become Hallogallo 2010. It's on the "Live & Remixes" disc - I think the credits read, "Composed, produced and performed live by Michael Rother (guitar & electronics), Steve Shelley (drums) and Aaron Mullan (bass guitar) at Sonic Youth studio in Hoboken (USA) on 23rd September 2008. Mixed and edited by Aaron Mullan."

Includes bookmark with dedication poem by Thurston Moore.

Thanks!

There's an obvious "joke" to be made here... but it'd be in rather bad taste, so let's not.

From the information here it looks like it’s the same song “Leave Me Alone” for each single.

Noice, from PC&L! But it's the same take on all three b-sides? Well, that's OK; it's not like I don't wanna hear the A-sides too. :D

What's next for Thurston Moore?

There’s a new album late spring 2020, and I’ll be rocking the fuck out of the festivals across UK and Europe!!

Thank you!



Oh, this was a Q&A quote — I thought you, Moshe, were telling us, "Ooohh, I'm a Super Moderator. I'll be rocking the fuck out of the festivals across UK and Europe while you mooks go on with your boring-ass bullshit lives!!" ;):D

:p :D

Thanks!

This sounds magnificent! Thanks for the link.
My first thought was that it's an illegal bootleg until I saw Aaron Mullan's name in the notes.

I want this so bad, but its close to 90 bux after shipping to the states. Hopefully it won't sell out too fast.
