My Wife & I Are Having a Stupid Argument about Kim Gordon...
 

Please help us settle this, as there may be an oral act on the line, but does (or did) Kim smoke cigarettes while in Sonic Youth?

I say no, but she says she's seen her do so in interviews. I've seen so many damn interviews and I've never seen Kim smoking, and I've seen them all in the crowd at shows and I've never seen anyone in Sonic Youth smoke cigarettes.

So??

It's incorrect to say "my wife and I are..."

Yes, they all smoked at one point, except Steve (I've never seen/heard it or referenced). I'm not sure about now though. You can also tell by their wrinkles.

Thurston:


Kim:

What is the correct way?

I'd like to think Kim quit while pregnant, not sure tho

I have no idea, Dead-Air, but considering the stakes, I say no... You owe me.

No, it's not.

Yo! My bitch and me is...

I just wasn't up to being so "correct" though...

there's a thurston spoken word type bootleg from oh-six where he briefly talks about when he quit smoking, how many years since he's had a cigarette.

Yes, she did. Goodbye 20th Century talks about it. And there is a photo of her smoking in it. The only person in the band who never smoked was Steve.

yeah in that book it said bob used to go nuts in the van because they all would smoke cigarettes (including Kim) while on tour

If you can't tell by her voice...

I didn't realize Thurston or Lee did, knew about Kim. Trying to quit myself

I had a strong feeling that they smoked/used to smoke but I never had proof.

looks like you'll be dining on the Y tonight then, Dead-Air

oh i think i'm in love

thurston looks like such a goon with short hair

Theres a scene in Year Punk Broke where shes talking too J Mascis (I think) saying "where is all the fun?" or something like that. Shes smoking in this scene.

she's smoking in disappearer video!

when they are in car, she is blowing out the smoke.

isn't she?

oh snaps, Dead-Air. Yr wife just burned you!!

You can't win a fight with a wife. Don't you men know we are ALWAYS right?

Sure dear you're ALWAYS right!!! let me celebrate that with a cold and nice beer.

Sometimes I wish I smoked cigarettes.

Then I change my mind.

Sometimes I wish I changed my mind.

Then I smoke cigarettes.

Sometimes I wish I smoked cigarettes. Then I change my beer.

she smokes meth

you can hear her lighting a cigarette and having a casual conversation with lee on the sister master tapes on the ETJT&NS cd between tracks 7 and 8

Should have gone that way, I would even have paid for it. Instead, it was like, "Well if Kim smokes camels, I'm going to eat a horse!" And all that I could do is gasp.

"there were rumors... he was into field hockey players..."

And then the next thing you know.

I'd let you take pictures. Unless you'd be willing to pay.

My least favorite Pixies track ever ever ever ever ever.

He did/does smoke joints though. I remember someone posted a while back talking about how Steve used to ask some other dude (I think Mike Watt) to bring a "fatty" when he visited him.

they we so hush hush about it

I'm Amazed is my favorites pixies song... it always gets to me. It's just ridiculous. It's like this insane condensed version of everything great about the Pixies.

Brick is Red is close.

Gouge Away is the best ever ever ever.....I can listen to that song 5times in a row and have on many occasion.

I also love "Hey" quite a bit.

I don't think I could ever pick a favorite Pixies song. They have one of the most solid discographies, song-fer-song, ever.

true.

The only songs I really don't like are rock-a-my soul and stormy weather.

Everything else is pretty perfect......

Always fucking loved SPACE (I BELIEVE IN). It's kinda this weird filler song (which is even addressed in the lyrics) but Joey just gets to fucking play all these awesome riffs. It's weird.

Oh man.. I'M SO TIRED is another favorite, that song is so brilliant., WEIRD AT MY SCHOOL... jesus. So many!

I BLEED......# 13 BABY....there's not a song on Doolittle that isn't great. I love the B sides release too. When my son was 4 he would sing Debasser in the car with me. He also loved that Frank Black song 10%er. My kids are ssssssssssssssssoooooooooooo cooooooool.
