Anyone else find it a little ironic that it's going to be released on Kim's 64th birthday?

cheers for the interview.

ironic alright, good observation.

I'm so excited to be taught how to be woke by a man who cheated on his wife for 5 years!

To be honest their private life is not my business, so I do not care much. Shit happens everywhere.

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

Maybe less ironic than it is coincidental?

Rock n Roll Consciousness - LP/CD/CS/DL coming MAY 5 (Harvest USA, Fiction UK, Hostess Japan)

T doesn't appear on Harvest's website yet. Being on Harvest Records sounds so cool... until you realize they also carry execrable and excretable shit like Richard Ashcroft. NOT that it matters in the end! :)

Cheers, Stu!

Btw, don't you think that Sonic Youth albums were always nice in terms of cover, artworks, inside booklets, etc. and Thurston's solo stuff looks weird and poor compared to it?

Not sure whether this question was directed only at Stu or not, but I would agree with you that the art direction on Thurston's solo albums is worse than Sonic Youth by comparison. I think only Trees Outside of the Academy had an interesting booklet, and though the album cover itself is not absolutely fantastic, it is better than all of Thurston's other solo albums in my opinion.

No, the rest of my post was directed to everyone :) I agree with you on that the TOOTA was the best, and also the CD design (I remember T's pic on a sewer?) was cool.

Yes, the picture of Thurston seemingly resting his head on a manhole cover on the CD is quite interesting.

Trees is also probably his best solo effort to date, musically (though I do love Psychic Hearts and Demolished Thoughts). I wish he would make another album like it, but then maybe Trees would be less special.

Trees > Demolished Thoughts > Psychic Hearts > The Best Day > Chelsea Light

Looking forward to the new one!

I 100% agree with the order in which you ranked these albums. I have a lot of love for Psychic Hearts, but Demolished Thoughts is an absolutely beautiful record.

I have semi-low expectations for Rock N Roll Consciousness, but I am looking forward to it as well.

Songs on the album according to Saturn:

Exalted 11:54 min
Cusp 6:33 min
Turn On 10:18 min
Smoke Of Dreams 6:04 min
Aphrodite 8:08 min

Oh, here's the first single: Cease Fire

oh. sounds like the same riffs, the same harmonics, the same drum beats, all over again.

Ah man. You shat on my moment.
