i finished the book today. it was fucking fantastic. the audio version has a boatload of chapters-- like 54 of them. !!
one of them is just kim reading the lyrics of kotton krown. parts of it were heart-wrenching but i love the way it ended on a high note-- go kim go! |

http://sonicyouth.com/gossip/showpos...1&postcount=27 eta: i think kim didn't read the post correctly-- she says they (chicka) added the quote "some men just want to watch the world burn" but that's his signature-- it wasn't specific to that post. after all someone showed her the post, she says-- yes? |

i thought it had so many chapters to help find the audio bits somewhat easier, ha ha. they were super short! i didn't remember chapter numbers in jico's upload of page scans. now i went back there & spotted them. if you have the print-- does she call godard's movie "pierrot le fou" or "pierre le fou"? i think it's in the x-girl chapter-- in audio she calls it "pierre" (which is wrong). wondering if it is a misprint or a mispronounciation. one thing i found surprising in the story-- i didn't know they had full time jobs up to so late in their discography! damn! was left wanting to know how they met lee. he just appears. |
Pierrot le fou
|
thanks!
|
Lee is a phantasm of skronk, who appears whenever a true believer needs him to, to help their noise-rock ways.
Lee rules. |

no. i've never read "celeb bios," which is why i was puzzled about some of the comments porks made-- i have nothing to compare. i just bought this book because i liked the writing. i'm simple like that. Quote:
now i'm curious! |

nah, i'm not a fanatic-- i'm more of a habitual skeptic. i'm also not a collector of anything-- i lack the patience and the innate fetishism. having adhd, i abandon things quickly when they get boring. i got curious about the audio book first because it's more casual & less committed than a printed tome, but tjico's pirated scans got me *really* interested in the way she pieced things together. in the process i found some interesting bits, like how hard is it to make a living as an artist even when you're successful. looks daunting. it's not joyce's portrait but it's a portrait of an artist and she seems a good one. |
If yr interested in good writing don't bother with the Goodbye 20th C book, it's full of facts but the style is almost unbearable at times
|
lots of good facts though.
It is very very hard to find a book about bands or music that has "good writing." Most of it is more utilitarian. |
A good book if you like David Bowie's records is Hugo Wilken's ''David Bowie's Low''. If you love the album I think this book will make you love it even more.
