Thurston Moore Talks Solo Album, Daydream Nation
"When we wrote [Daydream Nation], it was like, 'This will be great in the context of playing CBGBs,' or something. The thought was never, 'This would be great to be played at a festival in Spain or Japan."

Omigawd They Can't Talk To My God Thurston They Gave His Masterpiece Nyc Ghoulz N Roses A 0 Fuck Bitchforkrk

Aww, that haircutting bit on the vid is sooooo cute!

track 06 of Trees... is entitled American Coffin, I notice. Not the same piece as on the MCIAA split, presumably...

Oh God. I hope not.

release date: September, 18 2007.

yep

Is that "yep" addressed to Moshe or to me?

Moshe. I really dig American Coffin.. not sure if it would work in the context of a 'total pop record' though and, as such, it is unlikely to be that track. Quite cool if it was though..

i'll wait to celebrate my birthday until it comes out.

That second song in the clip sounds amazing. So excited for this.

thanks for the link. nice one.

it's sounds cool, realy popy, hehe.
what? release date exactly on my bday? nice one.

this is exciting. "Real meat and potatoes, Sonic Thurston tuneage"!

hes such a kid.
id like to be like that whem im 50.
the first song kinda reminds me on torquise boy.

I'm annoyed, my quicktime is fucked so I only get the audio from that clip. Still very nice but I'd like to see Thurston having his haircut.

Both these songs are fucking stellar, but has no one noticed the incredible similarity of the second song's intro to Peace Attack?

Not until you mentioned it.

Youtubed, for those who want to view it without going to pitchfork every time.

hey, good interview. probably the most fun i've had reading thurston's words in a long time.

the answer's already sorta buried in my site, but can anyone guess which daydream song he's referring to? (re: the last minute panic trying to figure out his tuning from videos -- i tried too!)

Candle?
I figure that's at least one he was talking about it being really hard to relearn... they never played it, correct?

They've played Candle live before, I'm sure. Was it Rain King?
