the first time I met thurston was on the streets, my friend and I were flabbergasted because we had just gotten into listening to sonic youth. He was carrying a cd, I think made by his brother, and I shook his hand. Later that evening I went and say a free jazz concert thurston played at and he was a bit stand off ish. I was a big punk rock nerd back then, this was in like sixth grade, I wore a black flag t shirt and kim came up to me and said "wasted pepis" which was our band name.
flashforward years later I saw thurston do a show in town and we talked for a bit, this was also the summer that I met J Mascis and kind of made a fool out of myself but whatevs...yeah but thurston and I chatted about their gigs in China so it's great to see some Chinese artwork on the back of the eternal. I really hope I can see them again...
