Sonic Youth, is it art?
They're arty, but not Art.

Yet everyone here loves them. (I suppose)

sonic youth the band? not art.

sonic youth's musical output? ART

I don't like Dirty a lot..

There's a hierarchy in art.
If you claim that SY is art and the Mona Lisa isn't, you'll appear like a weirdo to many people.
Even if you enjoy SY more than Mona Lisa.

sonic youth isn't real music

mark rothko offer suffers the same fate, dismissed as a hack when reduced to postcards and tiny internet pictures-- his paintings are massive in scale, like some sort of 20th century menhirs, and their religious power only works when you stand in front of them and face them with your own eyes.

Agree, completely. But a pic here gives some perspective of his style, and especially contrasts with that non-artist Bateman. I'm still on my what is and isn't Art track.

that is provided there is an orifice in your skull where art's penis could enter.

otherwise you could just end up with a very bad bruise on your forehead and just as dumb as you started.

I fucking adore that initial Dada period, and all that it stood for, and those weirdos that did it. I often fantasize about how great it would be to be hanging out with them in 1919. My fav book:

This book is a camel. Camels are artistic. You see the pen? He (she?) is watching. Pothead blue. Telephone now. Yeah, telephone. Lucozade in your arse.
