I bought another sonic youth record and it sucked.. its just noise
 

Wait, this flick was made around mid2000s.. murray street, sonic nurse, or rather ripped are NOT just noise ;)

I always assumed she had purchased an SYR release.

Possibly just a movie written by people 25 years out of the loop?

"I bought another sonic youth record and it sucked.. its just noise"

It's just the most used stereotypical generalized type of quote about sonic youth's music over the years, made by people that don't get it... that's fine I guess.

It just follows what the band had thought and said for years that a lot of people are aware of the band name and their influence but when it comes to the actual music it creates confusion and disinterest in many casual listeners. I forget who the director of this movie was, so I'm assuming they were a fan of the band or someone who was really close to director/writer. And they just wanted to let people know in this off the cuff hip way who sonic youth were...

da fuck she knows? she had unprotected geeky sex with michael cera. maybe she thought he was sterile and just testing the waters.

hehe, wasn't jason batemans charactor a douche in this?

True its a derisive comment so much so to be meaningless BUT that movie also played a sonic youth cover of a carpenter's song so clearly they had done at least some HW

oh yea, but since the carpenters cover is on the soundtrack, maybe the director or producer really thinks SY is noise.

mmmm, dis a mystery. were they in cahoots together to make a slashing statement?

Ive never understood nerd chic but if it gets ninjaz laid I aint hatin yo

While somebody writing may have been a 90s fan surely they were only a "casual" fan of sonic youth because juno repeatedly professed to be a Stooges fan and I aint met a Stooges FAN yet who didnt listen to sonic youth

michael cera's new album True Dat is good. like a more famous lou barlow/early sebadoh without muscles. or folky nerdy beck. you get the drift.

Let's hear it from Mr. Moore himself! You'll immediately notice that the question posed to him is inaccurate, but here we go anyway:

Hmm, turns out I didn't have to type all of the above - shit's online these days. That damn Al Gore...

Now, the following is downright OT, but digging through these "old" issues I came across an excellent (and, for the current oligophrenic 140-character standards, long) text by Kevin Shields on the making of Loveless (issue #74, Jan/Feb 2007):

"We are 100 percent going to make another My Bloody Valentine record unless we DIE or something". Priceless!

Thurston nailed the inconsistency of juno being a stooges fan and deriding sonic youth as noise

Still don't like that cover

It was one of those "Sonic Youth had smoked themselves retarded" kind of ideas ;)
