I know Kim and Thurston have, but they wouldn't be the first band to continue after two married members divorced. I don't know if there's been any announcements I've missed (again, dead), but everyone's off doing other stuff, all new SY releases are reissues, it's been 4 years since The Eternal...
This forum has definitely seen better days...

No, SY isn´t officially split. Not long ago Thurston gave interview where he said he didn´t see any obstacles to make something with SY someday, but the near future everybody has lots of something else to do as SY.

Welcome back to life. You should be on TV for doing that.

Kim said some things that made it sound "official"....well at least for her part.

Yeah. The members will continue to put out old SY stuff, and new solo and group stuff, but the band, the entity, the lifeforce that was Sonic Youth is over.
Look for them touring with just Thurston and a bunch of new people as "Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth" at a county fair in the next ten years.

..and he´s the one who claims that SY is his obsession. Or maybe he is medium because he seems to know that SY ever can´t put anything great new out anymore?

the good news is Kim is now clean, so that's a big hurdle out of the way

"Sonic Youth is dead and we helped kill it"
the best hope we have is for a reincarnation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klCXBkn0VGs I thought that we would just be friends. Things will never be the same again. It's just the beginning it's not the end. Things will never be the same again. It's not a secret anymore. Now we've opened up the door. Starting tonight and from now on. We'll never, never be the same again. Never be the same again.

not leaning on facts here
just quoting a thought of mine, if there's such a possibility It's also a reference to a quote from the Alec Foege book "Confusion is Next: The Sonic Youth Story" "Rock is dead. And Sonic Youth helped kill it." there's a lot of faux sérieux in what I wrote "I swear I didn't mean it"

And that´s good question, is rock still alive. To me it is, although Black Sabbath, CLM & John Fogerty haven´t done their greatest albums of their career, there are very much rock feeling in their latest albums. And about that seriousness of your former sentence, I don´t quite understand when these days many fans seems to think about their favourite artists like family members. I am very serious music listener, but still even SY is just a great band to me. If it splits, there still will be other great bands and artists. Also there has made more great music in the past I ever have time to listen. |
