SY on Filter mag cover
 

http://www.filter-mag.com/magazine/index.html

Did anyone get it and can share some scans?

That is too cool. I have never seen Sonic Youth on a cover of a magazine before. Do they sell this mag in America? Cuz if they do, I wanna go pick one up today.

i got mine at a Borders, so them and places like Tower would have it

it's maybe my favorite article i have read about them

as it turns out Filter is based in LA, one of the few Americn rags that has the reach and is quite good, he only other one i can think off the top of my head with that kind of reach is Rockpile

give me a few minutes. i'll put up pix...

oooh. rockpile is nice too. last month they had an article on sy as well. they cover lots of indie music...

Damn, Lee is one fine looking man. Thurston looks like an old man in a mid life crisis trying to look young, Steve looks like he is getting fatter, but good ol' Lee still looks good.

I'd like to take a drink from one of those goo bottles.

i don't know if i should post the article as it is in newstands now. i can post the rest of the pix if you want...

No man, Thurston just looks young to me. No need for crisis. Lee is doing great and I think Steve is doing fine even though yes, it appears he is getting slightly bigger. ( He just needs to drum to Cross the Breeze a few times to get the weight down.) Overall, I think Kim is looking the best. For her being like 50, she's doing fine. I do hate watching my idols get old. Stay young damnit so I can catch up with you!

I hope it's around my damn town.

trust me you don't

to get so many bottles with the album covers they got some of the cheapest latin american sodas they could find, apparently they are pretty bad, and according to the interviewer, most of those bottles were taken by people who were there

They gave these away at the Little Radio show in LA for free.

Best article I have ever read on Sonic Youth. Filter totally understands what SY is about and the history/ significance of the band. Ian Mackaye, SM, J Mascis, Butch Vig, Kathleen Hannah, etc all comment on SY. Its incredible.

i havea sub to filter but no scanner. soz.

yr hair is purty












;)

My friend took one of the posters of that cover from the Filter show. He also got the last free magazine, so none for me.

nice.
can you get filter in european tower record stores?

I just picked this up the other day, good article. I like that they got all these other artists to comments on SY's impact and legacy. Very cool.

They were on the cover of Musician magazine in '95, while headlining Lollapalooza, and Thurston was on the cover of Guitar Player around '91.

eat me, baldy.

they were also in the cover of zin magazine from mexico, 2004.

I got my copy signed by Lee and Steve...but I had a crappy pen, and it isn't very good

sonic youth was on Spin once or twice cover too

not in this country, they were gonna be on the April 1994 cover for Jet Set, but that went in the shiter

what wasn't nice of them to not offer them the cover again like in 95 headlining Lollapalooza, but the attention was on Hole at the time

Ben Folds 5 and Sufjan Stevens suck

I still have that one.

I bought it in a record store in Amherst, MA and the dude behind the counter looked at it and said "You know where they live, right?"
I got that a lot when i'd wear my SY shirt around there.

I got the maagzine this weekend. great article. I loved seeing the various people commenting on sonic youth and what they mean to them. I do take GREAT exception with the slight aimed at what is my favorite puerto rican beverage, MALTA! yeah! It must be a tropical island thang as the dominican elevator operator wa eenjoying himself one! IO owuld DIE for a SONIC YOUTH MALTA!

Long liv sonic youth
long live Malta

and Malat is not a regular soda., it is a malt beverage, sweet and delicious and like a sweet stout beer before the sugar turns into alcohol.
