are you kidding? I, a lifelong member of their "real" fanbase, would shell out $16 for a baggie with a lee ranaldo turd in it, just to say I had it.

you've a sy fetishism going on, heh ROb ?

[Everyneurotic]

i can't believe more fans aren't boycotting this piece of shit.

[nicfit]

baaah, cmon, it's just a record, it's cool to get it if you want it, it's cool not to get it if you don't, as simple as that, innit?
Does anybody on here have screaming fields of sonic love?

[nicfit]

Did you check http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfUxfwMm04A this marcos?

[Everyneurotic]

no, but i'm listening now...sounds quite melvins-esque.

have YOU gone to the dedicated pics thread, yet?

[nicfit]

yep they want to ROCK with the new album. Live the sound was UNBELIEVABLY powerful, the sound engineer they'll "hire" for the recording sessions of this new stuff is amazing (he curated also the live sound for this gig at the mixing desk).

*heads for the "dedicate a pic" thread*

haven't been online much regularly later, I skipped a lot of fast-growing threads...and lots of goodies too, I bet. Will report back soon.
/end of pmesque digression.

such a good point! I have 2 copies of Screaming Fields (one is a semi-scratched that stays in my car as a constant "backup" in case of music shortage. The other is a nice copy that stays in my collection.

Did fans flip out like this in 95 when that ish dropped?

i've been way to obsessed about this to be truly constructive i guess..but i was actually just thinking about it as i was reading posts..it's cashing in..i don't wanna ramble about the monetary vs credibility thing..but from readin that recent sonic youth book though they have had some big windfalls of cash here and there..it doesn't seem like they are rich..better than me..yeah but not madonna or somethin.so i don't know who's cashing in on who...stabucks for putting a bunch of hip names on the cover of a collection that may catch a coffee drinkers eye at the counter.....i don't know this may be too much but i think it has beena slow revolution..and i want to see it come to fruition
