yea. they are sonic youth. i see no difference other than less energy on stage and in the tunes themselves. 25 years guys is a long time running to not have sore calves. anyhow, thurston is just eccentric in a special way. leave him alone, because his creative chordal work and his noise control are still going strong as ever and he is no less all over the place than they "all" were in the 80's and 90's. the guy's got a bigger battery than the other cats in the band... for christ's sake, he still looks no older than 34, and he's huge to boot. rant rant.
one more thing, steve shelley is entirely a metronome. he doesn't need to wig out all the time, that's what the space occupied by thurston, and lee is for. that's just how they do things. he's comparable to ringo in that sense. simple, but dead on, and very very appropriate.
