He was in Konk at the same time as when he was in Sonic Youth. He chose Konk over Sonic Youth.

kim is a kool thing

strictlycommercial · 07.20.2006, 03:36 PM

I'd do Thurdson, if given the opportunity. Aww Yeah...

Anyhow, you get the impression he'd be a bit of a tool from time to time, but he seems to be fun, so that's a plus. And, despite a few missteps I've almost always prefered his songs & voice to both Kim & Lee. Lee's voice is just so, neat, or something, I don't know. I love em' all, but you've got to make the tough choises sometimes.

I think the liner notes for the reissue of the SY ep are really funny on that point. Glen Branca uses his piece to lift up SY as the saviours of music from the scourge of dance-rock, and goes on to list a few bands that made up the core of the scene that SY were, in his eyes, standing against. Edson then lists more or less the same bands as his biggest contemporary influences.

All things to all people I suppose.

Guess no one on this board has listened to Cross the Breeze. Steve at perfection.

lizzarddd · 07.21.2006, 02:53 PM

Thurston,
He used to be hot back in the day.

Lipslikewindows · 07.21.2006, 04:09 PM

Kool Thing is all about the view whites tend to have of black male sexual potency, as well as Kim railing against the misogyny in most rap. The Chuck D thing is meant to signify that while a lot of rap had all this rhetoric regarding a "revolution", Kim is wondering where her place, as a woman, in the upcoming new world will be. She's asking him real questions and he just spouts of mindless salvo-cliches.

No wonder all African Americans smoke nasty ass KOOL cigarettes.

finding nobody · 07.21.2006, 04:43 PM

I think you read into Kool thing a little too much..
