I have no idea but I am connecting these dots, hoping for something I've been waiting the better part of two decades for:

this sounds promising.

excusme, who is Aadam Jacobs?

A recording engineer, apparently: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/aadam...s-mn0001820734

Evol tour movie???

A well known taper as well, he recorded Hold that Tiger.

That I did not know.
:o

There's a recording floating around of Lee playing with the Master Musicians of Jajouka in Holland circa 2003/4. It's good, but from what I remember Lee is pretty restrained and lets the MMJ do their thing.

please please please

Yeah, I've got a set like that if not the same one, and your characterization is accurate. As it should be really. I shared a LR/MMJ track recorded at their village festival here once (from Cool Beans zine) with Lee higher in the mix droning over the MMJ, always wanted to hear more of that and any other Lee in Morroco stuff. I didn't realize until Lee's Instagram post that the whole SY band joined the MMJ live on stage in Granada, Spain though. I'll have to look for that if it is not an imminent SYR/SY archival release.

Cool song, thanks for the link.
:)

hold on. lee and steve featuring like on whole album? recorded in echo canyon with john angelo. great news.

Thurston Moore/ Frank Rosaly - Marshmallow Moon Decorum

http://www.corbettvsdempsey.com/2016...-moon-decorum/

Quite tempted by this, although UK shipping costs the same as the CD itself. I wonder if it will get any European distribution. If anyone hooks up a copy, feel free to leave a review!

Lee Ranaldo - Electric Trim!

"Washing Machine" reissue reviewed on Uncut:

Did anyone received this item for real? It is stated as pre-order since months. Do they ship these?

I actually canceled my order once I found out it was a bootleg.

Nice! Although I think I'm right to assume that "Contact Us To Buy" means "Brace yourself for an expensive order", no?

wondering if the new home page picture is a hint as to what's coming...

Yow! I hadn't seen that! (Note to self: always check the home page before diving into SYG). I say... yes — a new archival release must be a-comin'.
:)

that's the image on the download coupon for the sister reissue.

but i have my fingers crossed for something more.

Well that I didn't know. Once again I'm wrong, negative, selfish and idiotic.

Ciccone Youth II ?

I wonder if they'll announce another release before they finish reissuing the 80s albums. A few more months until confusion...

I really hope it's a new archival release. I loved Smart Bar so much. I'd be happy if they just put out new albums like that once a year...

I captured the audio, in case anyone is interested.

Superior Viaduct is reissuing Suicide's self-titled debut LP on June 17, and Mr. Thurston has written the liner notes.

This ARNAUD MAGUET & HIFIKLUB "In Doubt Shadow Him!" a Drift about Lee Ranaldo
• 52mn movie DVD + 2xEP 10" • 500 copies
should have come first in december 2015, then spring 2016. Has someone heard anything about it?

yeah, I am wondering as well.

Well, maybe even Lee doesn´t know anything about it?

Lee Ranaldo contributes poetry, vocals and guitars to a song by The Daydream Fit called "New York City Tonight". Recorded at Echo Canyon West, avalaible for streaming or purchasing in digital format from Bandcamp:
http://thedaydreamfit.bandcamp.com/t...k-city-tonight

I must spread some Reputation around before giving it to hipster_bebop_junkie again!



Purchased! Also, I hadn't noticed there's a respectable number of Lee cooliosities on Bandcamp. I only had the formidable Live At Roulette recording with Noveller.

thanks!!


doesn't sound bad at all.

We are very excited to announce this very special release: a brand new composition by Thurston Moore, created in collaboration with the Bernie Sanders campaign. Titled "Feel It In Your Guts," the track is a twelve-string acoustic piece laced with excerpts from Bernie Sanders' speeches, touching on topics like the worship of money, economic inequality, social justice, and the need for basic human rights for all people. (Arranged and mixed by our buddy Mike Bridavsky.)

The release is limited to 1000 hand-numbered copies on square, white flexi-disc vinyl, with screenprinted cover art by David Kloc.
