Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore Announce Split - Page 3

It's over
Your sonic tooth has a cavity

Pax Americana · 10.14.2011, 10:01 PM

This totally floored me. Sonic Youth always seemed so unshakeable to me, and I think of big part of that was because Kim and T were together and had been for so long. Obviously, I don't know them personally, so I can't begin to speculate what caused the split, but (for whatever reason) I just never thought there'd be a day like this. My parents separated and then divorced and it was fucking hell. I feel bad for Coco. Man... shitty news... I really feel pretty bad about this.

It's true
your part of the corporate roach
HA Ha

fuck you

I'm reposting my reaction from Facebook, because I heard it there in Genteel Death's post first.

Less than 3 months ago, I went to see Thurston play in Portland and Kim was in the audience up front with Coco. He ended the night with "Psychic Hearts" which my wife covered and I went home and told her all that. Now Deanne's dead and Kim and Thurston are breaking up. I'm well aware nothing lasts forever, but this has been the fucking hell year.

All bullshit aside

This is so fucking sad.

In fact my parents right now are giong through a separation and this stunned me more than my parents...

EDIT: key word is stunned. I wasn't as surprised when my parents announced their separation....but still....

Time for you to grow up

I feel really bad posting anything about this, but I do not post much and it was a coincidence that i even saw anything about this tonight!

I just would say, anything is possible! The down tone of the spin article is not echoed in the matador statement itself, and not echoed in the very recent New York City concert which did not to very intuitive sonic lifers (Jenn and others) suggest anything like there was this turmoil and imbalance about Thurston or Kim!

Love is a many splendored thing, marriage is not, necessarily!
I do not feel like, even if Sonic Youth dematerializes now, it would be in a way that was unloving to music and art. : ) Their perspectives on life are not traditional, and their love of the truth found in music and art is not going to disappear even if Sonic Youth, itself very close to the exact pulse of modern music and art, would dissolve.

This can't be true
I'm officially an old man

i don't know what to say...

Magic Wheel Memory · 10.14.2011, 11:27 PM

I'm ashamed to admit that the first thing that crossed my mind upon seeing this article, without having any time to think, is whether this means the end of Sonic Youth. But as sad as that would be, more importantly, I wish the best for both of them and Coco. Divorce can be an extremely painful thing, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

As for those of you making a joke of this matter, I'm sure you think it's harmless, but please consider the concept that there's a time and place for everything.

ann ashtray · 10.14.2011, 11:35 PM

I'm not really sure how to feel about this, and I suspect being that the details (none of which are my business) will likely never surface that I'll always feel that way. All I know is that it's obviously serious. Kim and Thurston have always done an amazing job keeping their private/relationship life out of media spotlight sans when things were BIG (Coco being born, etc). Them taking the effort to even announce the split is enough for me to know it's serious. I like to think it's temporary and things will be worked out, but yeah...kind of doubt it. We shall see. Hopefully this doesn't mark the end for the band, but at the same time seeing them on stage together and knowing they are no longer a unit might feel a bit strange. I always thought their relationship situation was about as good as anyone could ever be fortunate enough to find themselves in. 27 years, insane. All those great tunes. This shit is a bummer.

it's a defense mechanism to lessen shock of this obviously shocking situation.
