Just with music in general I have a hard time listening to anything past '93. I make exceptions of course but not many.
When I was waiting in line to see Lee at Other Music on the 20th of March, I was talking about why I loved those five Sonic Youth albums and my friend said to me "You gotta include BMR." And I just always say no because I feel that Thurston and Kim's songwriting on that album (and Confusion) pales in comparison to EVOL, Sister, and Daydream. I do love BMR and Confusion though.

I think Sonic greatness has never fallen, it has just become mature in the 2000-decade when they´ve got older. And if they will split, I am of course sad because my favourite band will split, but glad about that they´ve never made any lousy record.
