haven't seen this rationale before...

I like the way you think.

Thurston@13

GENIUS

He sounds like...identical to how he sounds now. Hahahahah I love the:
"THERE!"

'what the fuck am i doing'.

stupid question but, did he record that when he was 13 then???

Thurston, such a manly boy.

i have to admit i was wondering the same thing but i didnt wanna sound stupid ;)

Ha! He really does sound like exactly the same!

Pitchfork: Have you settled on any song titles?

Thurston Moore: Yeah, I know most of the titles. There's a song called "frozen gtr," which is this song that Christina sings on and Mascis plays on. There's a song called "never lght," and there's a song called "free noise among friends" [laughs]. And a song called "thurston@13"; I found a cassette recording of myself at 13 years old, where I was doing this kind of fucked up skit for my own fun, in my lonely bedroom in Bethel, Connecticut in 1972. It's basically me dropping things on a table, recording them, and sort of describing it, like, "This is the sound of a Lysol disinfectant spray cap." And I would make the sound with the Lysol spray disinfectant cap, and I would say, "There. Now, this is the sound of a rubber band." And so I did this cassette, and I found it, and thought, "God, I was such a weird kid. What was I doing?" Anyway, I figured I should put that on the record.

Sounds great (thanks screamingskull!)...
And 13 he does sound like a very grown-up boy. Guess the voice changing stage was already past, heh heh.

We should all do our own version of Thurston@13... the most extraordinary sounds win and youd have to name it to match yourself.. ie Id be raging_nelly@17 or something

kinda like the sy gossip tribute album

THERE

awesome thanks!

This ain't downloading, it's LEAKING. I'm pretty sure Thurston isn't radically happy with the album leaking. Otherwise he would have released it in June *i know i shouldn't be sticking my nose in this thread or even read it if I'm that bummed but fuck it. It's the same shit with RR and now again with Trees Outside the Academy* /insert hate mail/

Good man.

So who is it that leaks these puppies, then?

I'm assuming that the culprits work for music magazines and the like? They get copies to listen to, before writing their reviews.

Ah, perhaps. I didn't think about that.

I hate to be that old guy that says: "what happened to sonic youth? they used to be so good!"

but:

what happened to sonic youth? they used to be so good!

Foolish foolish little person.
