Could Steve Shelley Be the Funniest Member of Sonic Youth?

cagedbird · 04.15.2011, 01:04 PM

We will never know. Same thing with Bunny Wailer vis a vis Bob Marley. He must have a wicked sense of humor. I know he is into Rushmore. What Do U think?

i think that must have marked him; traumatized him if you like and surely played major role in his band persona. i think.

"He's on fire!" It was "Put Blood In the Music."

Anyone who used to play drums in The Crucifucks is a fine human being in my book.

Ray Farrell Rumor has it that Yow will be the lead singer of a reformed Nirvana. with anyone else I would be dismissive. Yow is amazing. 3 hours ago ·

Steve Shelley WTF? 30 minutes ago.

Maureen Tucker to Steve Shelley on Facebook right now : ''Hi Steve!!''
I have asked her a few weeks ago about SY's involvement in her album ''Life in Exile After Abdication'' and she answered that she needed a drummer and he offered to help and brought the rest of SY with him to the studio.

EVOLghost · 04.15.2011, 04:16 PM

Speaking of Shelley's facebook, I posted a vid on SY(on my facebook) in chicago(1 of 2 shows) and it happened to be the one where he is a little behind the band on drums but he recovers quickly and not really noticeable. it's kind of funnny and I wanted to "tag" him in the vid and ask him....but I"m too shy and he probably wouldn't answer anyways.

RanaldoNecro · 04.15.2011, 04:29 PM

Thurston is a pretty funny guy from vids i have seen. Actually very funny

He very kindly replied to me when I enquired about something to do with The Crucifucks.

CRUCIFUCKS are so so so so amazing. Lovely band.
