making a new solo album. and more so... how cool would it be if he made a solo album w/ actual songs on it. not dissing his other solo stuff (he could fart on an album for a straight hour, and i would think it was genius), but i just think it would be interesting. something along the lines of t's psycic hearts. like the cover of imagine he does on amarillo ramp. just something to ponder.

I'll be first in the download queue when he releases it "In Rainbows"-style...

It needs to happen. I've been wondering if any of his solo albums are song-oriented or more droney/soundscape type dealies.
I gotta check 'em out, anyways.

Actually, yeah, I don't really care about Thurston's solo projects or anything that much, but I'd be first in line for a Lee solo album. I think it'd be amazing if we he did a covers album, actually. He makes "Electricity" really special, and his cover of Wire's "fragile" is one of the best covers ever.

^ Hopefully; his distinctive voice and guitar playing were what drew me into SY in the first place... I can never forget hearing Wish Fulfillment for the first time. Just sayin'...

Even though he sings less often than Kim or Thurston, I do find that I enjoy Lee's songs more often than not. In fact "Rats" is the only song that I really dig on Rather Ripped.

A crazy beat poet odyssey solo album by Lee would be much welcome here.

I think I posted this once before but one time there was this Renaldo/Hooker/Marclay actually I think is was Hooker/Renaldo only gig at the Leonard St. Knitting Faactory and I wnt to take a leak pre set and these guys were smoking a joint in the bathroom talking about how they were all ready for a
"A crazy beat poet odyssey solo album by Lee would be much welcome here." type gig.

I just busted up laughing thinking how big of a mindfuck they were about to be slapped with. Those William Hooker and Lee gigs are some of the loudest lyricless gigs ever gigged.

I think that Lee is more critical to his own work and to sy work. That is why we don't see as much solo stuff from him as we see from Thurston.

It's true that Lee is a bit more serious, but this, for me, translates into more intense music, and I for one, can sometimes do without Thurston's over-exuberance (sorry, Mr. Thurston Moore). The thing is, Lee is the weirder one I think. I just wish there was some sort of project, that has the rock attitude of Sonic Youth, but with Lee centerstage...

The thing about Lee is that he has an art background and that comes through in his music, in the way it's composed rather than played. Thurston, on the other hand, comes from a rock background, and just plays his shit.

But I'm not sure how well schooled/read T is in painted/photographed/filmed arts, which is where I think Lee gets his inspiration. T seems to be more Fluxus in his artistic approach.

Thing is Thurston realises that probably his fans are growing up together with him... It would be all too easy to pander to this demographic, but then again, what would be the point. I really think he's 'torn' between appeasing his older audience and the younger blood, in the words of crypto...
