I donīt like negativity (it seems internet really is the place for people who canīt handle their inner negativity, just threw their inner shit into others face). But of course everybody has right to say their true opinions, also if they donīt like the music their favourite artists have made. Itīs just the way how you do it.
To me it seems some people here have expectations for SY they just canīt ever fulfill again... |

That is true Mortte. Expectations are hard to meet, but maybe if someone had spoken up loudly enough Paul McCartney would have spared the world his 80's output.... ha!
I love all the sonic youth, all of them to a fault.

I wasn't "offended" & I don't think the band is above criticism. I think Lee is & always has been uninteresting & that Steve is irrelevant. But do I go in every Lee thread & talk about how much he sucks? Do I pop into the Sleater-Kinney thread to talk about how much those sell outs continue to suck? No because obviously what they do just isn't for me. "This sucks & everything they've done since X is not up to Sonic Youth standards" & "these people are creatively incapable of making brilliant music by themselves" is not discourse, it's hubris. Goodbye! |

I believe nothing. Sonic Youth is in the rear-view mirror of musical history and has been now for a couple of years.

I can't believe that fans of a band that built it's entire early rep on negativity, chaos, dissonance, anger, and screeds about murder and psychotic people get upset when someone says that this record sucks, or that the previous song sucks, or whatever.
Long Live the Butthole Surfers........dada is you, dada is I.

to me "belief" is a blind acceptance.
I do not follow that mind-set. I do see the beauty in SY's chaos and dissonance and anger and rage and focus on the dark side of humanity in it's early work. I also love the joy and peace and beauty to be found in their more uplifting music. I love it all (except for that fucking horrible "just a kitten" song, and 3/4 of EJST&NS) My thing is that Thurston most of all always has seemed like a contrarian to me, someone, like me, who enjoys stirring the pot and showing how seeing the world through just one set of eyes only shows you a specific lie, and that it is best to see as many of these "lies" as possible to learn from the whole and to see the absurdity of it all. SY as a collective were true artists to me, exploring all aspects of existance in their sounds and lyrics, and giving voice to things which so many people keep dormant, or choose to ignore in their quest for a "perfect life." My favorite Sonic Youth song is Genetic (followed very closely by Mote) GENETIC LET ME TELL YOU EVERY THOUGHT THAT I'VE COME TO WHEN I THINK OF ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU DO I CAN'T SEE IF YR THE ONLY ONE, IT'S HARD TO SAY AND I THINK IT'S ALL THE SAME TO ME TODAY I CAN SEE YOU TWO IF I COULD JUST SEE YOU THIS ONE TIME I SIT ALONE EVERYONE'S AT HOME I SEE IT, I BELIEVE SOMEHOW I KNOW IT'S TRUE YR GENETIC KISS TO ME I'LL LIVE INSIDE OF YOUI HAVE HEARD IT SAID BEFORE: IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN HAD IT DRILLED IN SINCE A KID, IT MAKES MY HEAD SPIN NOW I'M LOOKING FOR THESE THINGS THAT I CAN'T FIND THOUGHTS JUST COME AND GO, SWIRLIN THROUGH MY MIND FIRST IT'S ME AND YOU THEN IT'S HIM I'M THINKIN OF WE SIT ALONE NO-ONE ELSE AT HOME I TASTE IT, I FEEL AND NOW I KNNOW IT'S TRUE YOUR GENETIC KISS REVEALS I'LL LIVE INSIDE OF YOU... * * * HEY BABY, IT'S YOU I'M THINKIN OF HEY BABY, WHO DO YOU LOVE? DON'T WORRY, BABY, I'M WATCHIN EVEN AS YOU SLEEP LET ME WHISPER SOME THINGS FOR YOU TO KEEP: THERE'S NO PERFECT IDEA THERE'S NO PERFECT FATE JUST LITTLE STABS AT HAPPINESS SOMETIMES A LITTLE TOO LATE SO KEEP YR EYES WIDE OPEN AND KNOW WHAT YR MADE OF REMEMBER: FIRST THOUGHT: BEST THOUGHT TRY TO STAY IN LOVE HUSH.

Show me insightful discourse about Sonic Youth on this forum that's happening NOW and I'll post more about buying this band's records, listening to them obsessively, supporting their creative oeuvre 200% and letting them influence the way I listen to and appreciate music in general over the years. Way before I had even reached legal age to be precise. Also, I think you must have missed a few of my previous posts where I defended Sleater Kinney's last record before reformation too, but I don't blame you, with so much to learn about the same 90s bands discussed on this forum ad nauseam, who has the time to get a better picture of other forum members' taste, sense of humour or temperament? |
