Moss Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Is this a new album coming out? They are on a roll, the last 2 have ranked up their with their better work. Looking forward to hearing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moss Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 last THREE imo Murray Street is in my top 3 SY records Oops, you are 100% correct. Murray Street is great. Rather Ripped is my fave from the bunch but they are all really good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Oops, you are 100% correct. Murray Street is great. Rather Ripped is my fave from the bunch but they are all really good. it's crazy how consistently great they've been in the 00's (well NYCF&G was pretty hit or miss), over 25 years into their career... not too many bands who can boast that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brianjeremy Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Agreed with the consistent comments. Sonic Nurse didn't do a lot for me but Murray Street is seriously one of my favorite SY records. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mjpuczko Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 i really need to listen to murray st again. it's been a long time. i come back to washing machine a lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radiokills Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 Murray Street is in my top 3 SY records very yes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Yes again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deepseacatfish Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Rather Ripped was kind of hit or miss for me, but still pretty good. However, Sonic Nurse and Murray Street are excellent records. I really look forward to this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I think it comes out June 9. Definitely sometime in June. I saw them for the first time back in September, and they completely knocked me on my ass. I've only been listening to them seriously for about a year and a half and still have a lot of their albums to get, but Sonic Nurse has been one of my favorites the last few months, along with parts of Washing Machine.

Jay Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I really like "Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star", probably because it was the first of theirs I heard. It's not mentioned much when people take of their favorite SY records. Am I alone in liking it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zach5277 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Hmm... Wilco AND Sonic Youth have records coming out. Might just be wishful thinking, but does anyone think there's a chance of another Wilco/Sonic Youth tour? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Three dollars and 63 cents Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I doubt it, but as I said in another thread last night, that would be just about the most awesome thing ever for me, musically at least. I saw Nels on the same bill as Lee and Thurston back at the (now defunct ) Knitting Factory back in September, and I kept hoping they'd all play together, but it didn't happen.

I can just imagine how cool it would be to have Sonic Youth with an ocassional Nels guesting on that tour on some Youth songs and then ocassional Wilco noise augmented by even more guitars. Sweet indeed. Unlikely unfortunately. I would pay good money for that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's not mentioned much when people take of their favorite SY records. Am I alone in liking it? It was either my first or second SY album (the other being washing machine), thus it holds a special place in my musical heart. Other than Daydream and Murray Street, I listen to it more than the other SY albums. I was actually shocked to find out that a lot of people really didn't dig it.

Moss Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Man, a Wilco/Sonic Youth tour would be fantastic! I also love "Experimental, jet set...". I think part of the deal with that CD is it's a bit more mellow. Actually I don't know if mellow is the right word. I tend to grab Sonic Youth when I want to crank it to ten and hear some dissonance so I don't think of that one but I always love it when I listen to it. Just have to be in the right mood for that one where Daydream I can always listen to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deepseacatfish Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 All music sums up their critique of Experimental Jet Set as "In other words, Experimental Jet Set, Trash & No Star features the underlying foundation of the group's music standing naked, without any of their traditionally excessive static to heighten it." Which honestly I don't know that I agree with. There are Sonic Youth albums that don't click for me, but that one has a lot of really good both mellow and hooky songs.

Three dollars and 63 cents Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 For anybody who lives in or near Northampton, Thurston Moore will be doing a book signing on Tuesday: "I know everyone wants to know when we're going to open, but we just can't tell you yet! We are so close to having an opening date, that we have begun booking shows for the summer! A construction update will happen soon. We promise.In the meantime, please come out to support our renovation efforts by attending this event. Thurston Moore complied a wonderful book of photos of the early New York No Wave scene in the late 70s with Byron Coley. Thurston will regale us with tales from the underground, as well as some rare footage. He will sign copies of the book as well. Here are the deets!"
