Or's a Thurston song for sure... played it at the flywheel solo. Its real pretty. Acoustic guitar w/ very atmospheric delay (?) on it. Its minimalistic and short but could be expanded to have a real long ambient outro kind of Diamond Sea thing if they really want to. Man, I kind of hope they keep some of the acoustic parts that thurston played acoustic. Particularly on Or and Do You Believe in rapture. They sounded real pretty at that live show and I'd love to see a Sonic Youth record with a nice sober balance of acoustic and electric guitars. They've nver had a record like that because its not really their style. But I'd like to see a kind of thoughtful approach to more diverse instruments on this record. Like Neil Young or David Bowie kind of. It would be something real new and show a bit maturity.

Or they could just rock my scrotum to shreds and that would work too.

Thanks for the tracklisting. My guess is that the album will leak in the next month or so (as is the case with just about any "indie" band nowadays). Can't wait for the tour and the record to be reased on vinyl, oh and also, I think there will be more than just one Lee song, usually its one per side of the record.

sht, oh my god i cant fucking wait, this just adds to the anticipation....
it feels like i'm 8 and its gonna be Christmas Ever for the next 2 Months!

nice.
