Sonic Youth = STALE
I've thought of SY as the most innovative band I know of for a long time now, but it just hit me that, recently, they haven't been that innovative. Yeah, their music sounds like no one else's, but its still sounded the same for a long, long time.
What Im getting at is that Id like to see a SY album WITHOUT guitars. They should just trade all their guitars in for some MPCs, drum machines, synths, etc, and try and make something entirely new. I can say in all honesty that I would REALLY anticipate hearing an album like that, and who can say that about the more recent SY albums (as decent as they are). I think some of the stuff they did on the Whitey album was very interesting and its a shame they didnt go down that avenue with their later stuff. Who's with me? |
sounds like a "let's make our Kid-A" process to me...but it could be interesting.

I like Kid A, but Amnesiac is SO much better. And then Hail To The Theif completely slays everything Radiohead has ever done (in a god way). |
I really cant see Sonic Youth without guitars. There are plenty good bands who already utilize drum machines, etc. to make innovative music. That just doesnt seem like it would be SY's kind of thing. It would be interesting, but I like them the way they are.

I'd like to see the next album focus more on Steve. Lots of extended pieces focusing mainly on drums- but not drum solos. Perhaps Steve could give us his vocal debut, singing a song about Candy, or Wuv. I bet he sings like Jemina Pearl.

repped.
|
Raped.
|
I'd like them to put a record out that has no actual music on it.In fact,no, i would like them to put a record out that has somebody else's music on it.As part of an experiment they should put out somebody else's album under their own guises.......Lily Allen's new one would be just perfect for that.
|
Fuck Lily Allen, piece of shit cockney bitch with inherited fame. Balls to it all.
|
Steady on,you made her cry.
|
Yeah, little worried about where they can go from here. Last few albums have been deadly but I get the feeling unless they pull out something surprising (and I don't mean Lily Allen) they could well end up irrelevant.
That said, a self-consciously anti-guitar album could well end up being really contrived. Steve Shelly sings disco hits of the 70s? |

Heh! Sonic Youth without guitars? What have you been smoking? |
Good. I hope she dies horribly. But not really, I just don't like her. Face it, Steve is the new SY direction.
 All hail Shelley. |
Hush up Tokolosh!You heard what the gentleman said.
|
i think it would be cool if they would do something similar to the neubauten.org project
with supporters and exclusive releases and ......... |

Nah i think that their next album should be produced by Karl Lagerfield. |
Perhaps they could do an LP of spoken-word poetry, the only music being Steve accompanying them on the drums, keeping their rythym in line. I'm sure Steve knows a thing or two about iambic pentameter and the like.

Yes, but what do you mean? |

That could be really interesting. And I know that using MPCs etc does not make a band 'innovatory', but it does pave the way for new sounds. I just think that SY are in danger of becoming irrelevant. I want them to show that life is worth living at 50 and that older people in bands can contribute something REALLY original to music. If SY put out another album like RR or SN, or MS, I will have lost my faith in the band to be original and special anymore. Why not go down a totally different route, what is there to lose apart from a few close minded fans that want to hear the same album over and over again? |

^Exactly. |

what do you expect?

Nas Bitchez!!!

It's all about Nas, baby, and Biggie, too, dont forget Biggie. Hmm, come to think of it, I think a SY electro album with Nas rhymes could really be something special. |
Sonic Youth should have a Rap/Hip-Hop album.
|
duh great idea. Let a band that has somehow managed to make the guitar sound amazing for more then a dozen albums and well into their 40's mess with the formula just to grab some radiohead-iconography.
HEY I GOT ANOTHER GOOD IDEA! HOW BOUT THEY SIGN TO AN INDIE LABEL!!! I MEAN JEEZ THEY'VE BEEN ON A MAJOR LABEL FOREVER BUT GOSH THEY NEED THAT INDIE CRED!! SIGN TO MATADOR!!! |
How about a CD of just noise, with Thurston and Kim fucking? All the while Steve and Lee are making very loud comments about what their witnessing.
Note: I'm being maybe half-serious. |

But I'll rep you anyway. |
thanks,
You are an official neubauten supporter? |
I am, yes. Have been for all three rounds. I wish I'd subscribed to Musterhaus as well, there's been some excellent stuff released on that project.
|
cool
this is the most innovative project in history of music industry ... in my opinion. |
Are you signed up as a supporter? I don't participate as much as I'd like to, in terms of watching the webcasts and giving feedback on what's happening, as I don't have broadband access, but I do like to visit from time to time and read what other people are writing.
|
i wanted to subscribe but i had some problems with payment method.
i will get a credit card soon and then iŽll sign up. Heard most of the releases ,though and they are awsome |
The CD from the second supporter project is great, and the DVD too. They have a live DVD coming out very soon, which is right up there at the top of my "wants" list.
