Sonic Youth to release rarities record! - Page 3

Maybe geffen is trying to milk their rights to the songs they have for all theyre worth, before SY moves on to another label. Or maybe it will be a Goofin release?
Anyways, if they plan on cramming everything in there this should be a double disc release. Hopefully it takes stuff spanning their entire career and not just the Geffen days, which is what I am afraid will happen.

static-harmony · 10.23.2006, 11:55 PM

Yeah hopefully is the entire career not just on the geffen days. But either way it will be awesome.

silverfreepress (sdasher) · 10.25.2006, 10:59 AM

its Geffen.

its a weird word Geffen, very Knights of the Round table

Moshe · 10.25.2006, 11:03 AM

How do you know it is on Geffen (Grapevine in Hebrew)?

tesla69 · 10.25.2006, 11:28 AM

Sonic Youth B-Sides and Rarities LP
2006-10-24 10:55:14.010,
Story by: Alex Billig

Following up the release of this summer's Rather Ripped, Sonic Youth have announced plans for a new compilation of B-sides and rarities. The band has not yet revealed any details about the track listing of the new collection, but it has been confirmed that the new LP will bear the appropriate title of The Destroyed Room: B-Sides And Rarities. With a December 11 release date, it's sure to make the perfect Christmas gift for art-school aspirants and aging indie rockers alike.

pokkeherrie · 10.25.2006, 11:38 AM

I doubt Geffen/Universal would be milking SY with a collection of B-sides and rarities. They never showed any interest in what the band released in the SYR series either. If they were gonna milk SY they'd be better off releasing a "best of" with Kool Thing, 100%, Sunday, Empty Page, etc... or a Daydream Nation Deluxe (is that still on!??)

Moshe · 10.25.2006, 11:48 AM

My feeling it will be out on Goffin. If you look at the sy myspace there are no tracks from the Geffen era at all.
As for DDN, in a recent interview Steve said that he is going to compile it on September.

pokkeherrie · 10.25.2006, 11:52 AM

yes, that's what i wrote earlier too. both newly added instrumentals read "goofin'", where as the daydream nation album track (hey joni) says "goofin'/geffen".

as for the release date: that doesn't have to mean all that much really. if it gets delayed it wouldn't be the first time a SY reissue release date gets set back...

pantophobia · 10.25.2006, 12:16 PM

well, the goo reissue release date after being delayed kinda was sprung upon everyone so was the coporate ghosts dvd release date, so it's not suprising that this would be released in just under a month and a half

Yeah, CMJ is legitimate enough...its just an odd press release CMJ are obviously copying because it doesn't mention the label.

Kim Gordon Crafts Film, Sonic Youth Preps Rarities

Kim Gordon

October 25, 2006, 5:00 PM ET

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
Sonic Youth principal Kim Gordon will offer the U.S. premiere of her film, "Perfect Partner," and participate in a live performance of the soundtrack this Friday (Oct. 27) and Saturday at Montclair State University in Montclair, N.J. Gordon will be joined on stage by her husband/Sonic Youth partner Thurston Moore and longtime collaborators Jim O'Rourke, Ikue Mori and Tim Barnes for the screenings.

"Perfect Parter," which Gordon assembled in tandem with artist Tony Oursler and director Phil Morrison, is a road movie reflecting her obsession with the ad copy in car brochures. "Ad copy is this existential, contemporary philosophy that doesn't mean anything," she tells Billboard.com. "But the brochures are so sophisticated. They really stretch and try to be poetry and art."

For the movie, footage of actors Michael Pitt and Jamie Bochert plays on one screen, while "psychedelic landscapes" are projected on another screen behind it. The musicians perform the live score in between the two screens, thus creating what Gordon describes as "a kind of 3-D movie in the way the two screens work together. The actors disappear sometimes, and sometimes it is just abstract landscapes with music."

"Perfect Partner," which debuted last fall in London, runs for about 55 minutes. Gordon hopes to enlist an entirely different cast of musicians to play the score at future performances, but before that, she wants to at least stage screenings with the original ensemble in Manhattan in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, Geffen will on Dec. 12 release "The Destroyed Room: B-Sides and Rarities," which will fulfill Sonic Youth's contract with the label. Gordon says Moore and guitarist Lee Ranaldo have been in charge of the project, which will feature a blend of tracks from vinyl singles, compilations and international releases as well as material seeing the light of day for the first time.

They fired a few key people working on [the band's 2006 album 'Rather Ripped'] a week before it came out. Our A&R person -- he worked on our last record with us, and that was the first time we had an A&R person in five years, but we liked him. Also a marketing person who had really good ideas. So, I don't know."

Gordon is also unsure if a potential move away from Geffen would affect the planned expanded reissue of Sonic Youth's landmark 1988 album "Daydream Nation," which is thought to be in the Universal Music Enterprises pipeline.

For now, Sonic Youth will focus on touring, beginning Dec. 8 with the Nightmare Before Christmas festival in England, which Moore is curating. Visits to South America, Japan and China are in the planning stages for next year, and Gordon reports that Moore is working on material for his next solo album.
