the future of the band they've played in together since 1981 is unclear.

I definitely don't like the sound of that.

SuperCreep · 10.14.2011, 07:56 PM

i am so not believing this until we get some more sources. :'7(

Genteel Death · 10.14.2011, 07:58 PM

Didn't see this coming either.

krastian · 10.14.2011, 08:07 PM

Wow, ok, if anybody didn't already believe that EVERYTHING is so fucking crazy right now, well then there ya go.

All the best to both of them and thank you.

now theres a smack in the head. Good luck to em whatever they decide to do, they are a family first and foremost and that has to be their priority. Kinda stunned myself tbh, but yknow, i dont think now is the time for the funeral service, the wake, or the final 70 minute blowout version of The Diamond Sea, lets see what happens.

Rob Instigator · 10.14.2011, 08:22 PM

thurston is playing folk soft shit

Steve is in like 8 different bands

Kim is spending all her time riding me

deflinus · 10.14.2011, 08:24 PM

lee's solo LP is going to save us all. if it doesn't, then well.. fuck it

RanaldoNecro · 10.14.2011, 08:25 PM

many, Many many thanks for so much great music.

krastian · 10.14.2011, 08:28 PM

Well, if it's over, then The Eternal is a pretty fucking great final album to end a career on especially after playing as a band for 30 years.

hipster_bebop_junkie · 10.14.2011, 08:30 PM

I don't like these shit news at all. Infinite thanks for everything they've provided us with through the power of their music, and all the best wishes for the present and the future in all aspects of their lives even if this could mean the end of Sonic Youth.

krastian · 10.14.2011, 08:40 PM

I can't even begin to tell you how much joy Sonic Youth has brought to me since I was like 12.

the ikara cult · 10.14.2011, 08:43 PM

Wait everyone, maybe this whole terrible tragedy can yet be averted!

hevusa · 10.14.2011, 08:46 PM

sad sad stuff. I've been thinking love isn't real lately anyway...

E. Noisefield · 10.14.2011, 08:52 PM

I literally gasped and said "OH-NO-FUCK-FUCK!!!" when I read this.

I don't know what to say, other than to offer the condolence that "separated" doesn't always end in "divorced".

I can't believe it. I just can't believe it. Extremely sad.

Also- doesn't really bode well for the continued existence of the band.
Anyone else considered this?

They haven't announced they've split up yet. It's certainly disappointing to learn that a dream couple is splitting up. All the best to them. They seem like a relaxed pair of people when it comes to keep the personal where it should stay.

o'connor · 10.14.2011, 08:54 PM

honestly this does make me very sad, sy is my favorite band ever (except for the eternal), but do you think thurston would give me kim's number?
$10 bucks says t starts dating that chick from be yr own pet

deflinus · 10.14.2011, 08:55 PM

if sonic youth stays together, then this will be good inspiration for the next album
