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?
