If we're all picking any label we want them on, I'll go with Warp. That would fuck shit up.

I still pick Def Jam.

I mean c'mon, Thurston would totally sit up on Jay-Z's lap and wish for a nice record deal come Christmas season.

Aren't there enough SY rip off bands on there?

that would be awesome

Haha.

I dunno if they're ripoffs, but there's definitely a lot with the same... DNA (pun intended).

Watch, sonic youth gets put on skin graft, sells less records than any of the other bands on the roster. It could happen!

it will be probably 'domino' as thurston said.

well I don't like Dominos!!!!!!!!

They never do what I want them to do like that cool clip on youtube of the dominos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111111111 111111111111111111111111111

Sonic Youth on PAW TRACKS

Nah.

Oh Sonic Youth on Warp would be really awesome. Doubt that'll happen though

It'll be Geffin

That wouldn't be shocking. They've secured Radiohead, which is pretty big for an indie label.

xl seems the obvious choice...

maybe they will ressurect sst! "sisters there"

I want the next album to be 3/4 LEE traxx, rocking the way he does, with melodic vocals and beautiful lyrics and skronk supreme underneath and a couple like hoarfrost and shit abut lee needs to release a solo record of the songs we Ll know he has in him damnit!

and hell yeah pitchfork trolls this forum for story ideas!

SY are certainly looking for a label with some pull, Domino if they are the top contender have some pull, they have been able to get Animal Collective on tv, but Sub Pop and Merge have also had their roster get tv exposure in the last 2 years

and they also want some promotion, Geffen gave maybe at most 3 shits about promoting them in the last 10 years, hence that Thurston line about their last 4 or 5 albums being compromised, they don't want any label meddling (although on the indie level who'd ave the gall to even ask them to do a drum and bass album?) and must reiterate they want promotion and as much as they can get

i always thought the Matador talk was a little offputting, they have been with Cosloy on Homestead, and there was some lingering tension after (mostly on Cosloy's part), so he likes them and would be easier to work with now, not sure if he'd want to go through that again

other then that i am not sure, it'll be a NYC based label for sure though

This made me listen to some Lee songs. Oh god he is awesome, haven't heard it in a while.

Ha ha ha, A Thousand Leaves and Sonic Nurse was compromised saith the Moore. The NYC Ghosts + Flowers last.fm group sheds a tear.

SILTBREEZE!

give me my own mainstream, damn it!

you know what?

i have realised that i do not give a shit if sonic youth ever make another album again.
sonic youth can go to hell.
