haha.. i don't give a fuck about the title

i just want a bit less of clean guitars. no pavement tuning and a bit more of distortion and noise.

I want this album to be so awesome that Christ himself gets arrested for illegally downloading it.

I thought so but I had to make sure. There was this movie that came out Summer 2005 and it was horrible, the title Eternal. It was a vampire movie based on well I'm attaching the review. I got some email about attending this screening and took a friend. There was audible laughter from the audience, I heard the afterparty was people just throwing up on their selves. Here is the Times review.

Anybody else witness this? No? Thats what I thought.

Sonic Youth Staying Weird On Matador Debut

Sonic Youth

Cortney Harding, N.Y.
Thurston Moore promises "heavy ass weirdo hooks" aplenty on Sonic Youth's as-yet-untitled Matador debut, due this summer.

"When I started writing, I was immersed in listening to the Wipers," he tells Billboard. "'No Way,' the first song we recorded, has a total Wipers vibe, if the Wipers were a No Wave band."

Moore says lyrics have been inspired by black metal bands, although he promises he's not mimicking their delivery. Other tracks include "Leaky Life Boat," which compares being alive to being in the aforementioned sinking ship, and "Burning Shame," a tribute to the late Fred "Sonic" Smith.

"We're super inspired to make a fresh start," says Moore. "We're glad to be dealing with a label that loves songs." Beyond that, not much has changed. "It's rock-centric, but still experimental," Moore promises. "We're still Sonic Youth. I still don't know how to play the guitar."

The group will play three shows in Austria and Germany in late April and is also confirmed for a May 16 set as part of the No Fun Festival in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

In addition, Sonic Youth has teamed with Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones and composer Takehisa Kosugi to write an evening-length work in celebration of choreographer Merce Cunningham's 90th birthday. The piece will soundtrack a performance from Cunningham's dance company on April 16 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

I've actually been listening to a lot of Wipers and black metal lately too, so if the latter isn't complete bullshit then that would be pretty awesome. I could go for some noisy-as-fuck intense tremolo picking from the Youth.

I have been listening to a lot of Wipers myself lately, probably too much so, so it's a sweet surprise to learn about this.

And fucking hell SY, take some inspiration from ESG for once!

[SYRFox]

i hope you know who i'm referring to, it wouldn't be that strange a band for them to take inspiration from.

in fact i wouldn't be at all surprised if they were fans in some way or other.

[SpectralJulianIsNotDead]

Sonic Youth and John Paul Jones? Remember that short Murray Street doc when Byron Coley said the movie Almost Famous made Thurston sad because he and Steve Albini weren't friends anymore and Steve Albini got to record Page and Plant and Thurston's interest was piqued?

Maybe this will be their chance. Supergroup time!

Led Youth!
Sonic Zeppelin!

Song titles:
Stairway to Yr Skull
Going to Schizophrenia
Black Groove(y) Dog
Eric's Last Stand
100% Immigrant
Misty Mountain Block
Ten Years Gone In the Kingdom #19
When the Levee Makes The Nature Scene
Shadow of No Quarter
Teenage Battle of Evermore

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to SpectralJulianIsNotDead again.
