OMG WTF?! Are SY a tribute band now?!

SYRFox · 12.27.2007, 04:56 AM

Haven't you just seen how there's - except for Thurston's Friend - only covers on their myspace now? Superstar, Electricity, I'm Not There, Santa Doesn't Cop Out On Dope, Beat On The Brat. I'm sure their next album will be a cover album. Or that they'll release a "Sonic Youth - Complete Covers 1981-2008" boxset next year.

(okay this thread is probably pointless and not funny, but I needed to write it...)

i don't think your way about this covers, some of it are nice (im no there, superstar)

SYRFox · 12.27.2007, 06:13 AM

Well I didn't say they weren't... I think those covers are great... But well, I still prefer original material ^^

Did they write My New House? Great Song.

noisereductions · 12.27.2007, 03:03 PM

My New House is the Fall. The Beat Happening cover was "Black Candy"... I think just Kim, Thurston and Epic Soundtracks though.

That CDR is pretty common... it's cleverly titled THE COVERS. But it is a good collection.

✌➬ · 12.27.2007, 03:16 PM

Yes... They do not have a big catalog.

Moshe · 12.28.2007, 12:56 AM

has to be something to do with their rights on their own songs...

nicfit · 12.28.2007, 04:40 AM

no more geffen = no more "old songs"

?

PAULYBEE2656 · 12.28.2007, 05:46 AM

yep, you are right about black candy.. epic soundtracks... much missed man!

noisereductions · 12.28.2007, 08:12 AM

I believe Epic Sndtrks had something to do with the Sonic Life book as well... the discography maybe, though I can't remember really. I'll have to dig it out and check.

HaydenAsche · 12.29.2007, 12:34 PM

So they have covers and their myspace..... and?
