but still, I don't like his present stuff. maybe since nyc g+f, he hasn't good track.

I hope Lee and Kim share vocals on a song!

I have to say this new twittering that they are doing is so great! It's the first and only time I ever thought Twitter was useful. This afternoon's update also included a picture of their equipment.

Pavement Bassist To Appear On Sonic Youth Album

Former Pavement member Mark Ibold has been hanging out in the studio with Sonic Youth while they work on their as-yet-untitled sixteenth album and will appear on the album.

Ibold will appear on a song that is tentatively titled ‘That’s What We Know’.
The album is currently being mixed in New York with producer John Agnello, who guided them through their amazing last album ‘Rather Ripped’.
In other Pavement news, word has been circulating between Ibold and former Pavement front man Stephen Malkmus about a Pavement reunion.
Don’t hold your breath, but words have been said to the effect of “it could happen”. It’s ten years since they broke up, and at the time nobody really cared, but in the past ten years a hell of a lot of fans have grown up and heard them for the first time.
Let’s just keep our fingers crossed and keep breathing as per normal, hey?

haha

john says:
Back to the studio to start song #6. LIstened at mastering and previous songs are on the money!!!!!

karenology is one of the best songs SY ever recorded. and the ones from nurse and RR are definately highlights of the albums, at least for me

I love Karenology.

John says:
Nothing like a new construction kerfuffle to keep me focused on mixing.

More Than One Lee Song = Money.

i like how Lee and Thurston contradict each other in terms of songs. which is ironic because they're in the same band.

i KNOW Lee can give us a more ROCKING song than Thurston. he needs to quit the spoken word business for awhile and bring us back another Genetic

john:

And now we send our little friend through the tubes that we call the internets to it's destination, western mass, for approval. Godspeed!

The Youth, Mixing and Twitter.
January 26th, 2009
The finish line is near.
We are perilously close to the finish of the new Sonic Youth record. We have three songs left with few fixes to do also. The record is great and I can't wait for it to be released. It has been a total burn this month, but the results are wonderful. Every morning I listen to mixes in the house and the family and I are totally stoked.

The band and I have been on Twitter giving updates of the process and tweaking each other too. It's been a blast. So get yourself a Twitter account and search The Sonic Youth and myself. Twitter is totally addicting.

Don't say I didn't warn you. This is going to be a special Sonic Youth record. Boooooom!

"mixing first Lee vocal today" Does this mean there will be more than one song with Lee singing on the new record?

yeah :) moshe already confirmed that a few pages ago

thesonicyouth:

another song mixed last night, one of my current favorites - antennae. possibly working on 2 mixes today. first one is on the board

I did?
