Everett True's Sonic Youth book,

sonicl · 09.05.2006, 07:42 AM

which was supposed to be published on 4 September, has been delayed until some time in 2007, the publishers have said, as he's been busy working on a book about Nirvana.

Thanks for the info sonicl. I was wondering what happened to that book. Should have been released yesterday actually.

i love nirvana as much as the next person, but do we really need another book about them that will probably offer nothing new?

screamingskull · 09.05.2006, 02:10 PM

i agree we really dont need another nirvana book.

lovesonicevol · 09.05.2006, 02:15 PM

how is Confusion Is Next, the book that is?

Andrés · 09.05.2006, 05:05 PM

come on, Everett is one of the few people who can write a book about Nirvana without making up stories

Cantankerous · 09.05.2006, 05:06 PM

spew.

ni'k · 09.05.2006, 09:00 PM

my guess is that this book will probably be more about everett than nirvana, he's one of the best music journalists today, and his plan b mag is great, but he's all about the everett.

static-harmony · 09.05.2006, 09:08 PM

Yeah I agree we don't need another Nirvana book, unless it uncovers the truth that Courtney did kill him, with actual evidence and how she did it, and all. Now I want that Sonic Youth book.

It's alright. The author does a good job talking about the motivations behind the different songs and albums. It leaves a lot of personal stuff about the band members out entirely though. There's no mention of Kim and Thurston's wedding and stuff like that. Also, the author throws about 8 million names at you of people that were around during SY's early days in New York and stuff. That gets pretty tedious. Overall though, I enjoyed it.

Agree. I never understood why the band members didn't like it.

Yeah, Confusion is Next is a pretty good read... As much information I've absorbed about Sonic Youth since becoming a fan, I think a lot of my base knowledge about the history of the band comes from that book.

i havent heard everett trues name mentioned in ages!

greenlight · 09.12.2006, 05:51 AM

well, even if later, but hopefully it'll be easily getable in the music shops and not only on the net.

I always thought that was "Our Band Could Be Your Life" they didn't like. But whatever.

I'm excited to read this. The only parts of Confusion Is Next that I've read are the pages on Amazon.

Cantankerous · 09.12.2006, 09:37 PM

is he still writing for the melody maker?

sonicl · 09.13.2006, 03:16 AM

He runs "Plan B" mag, which I think someone posted a thread about the other day. It's an okay mag, but someone I used to know who is one of only two people in the world who I actively hate writes for it occasionally, and therefore I don't like it.

is he still writing for the melody maker? im pretty sure that mag has folded...
