Same here, man.

You are completely right. I'm still hoping that this news are actually bullshit...

If SY splits up, I won't have any idea as to what to do to myself.

krastian · 10.14.2011, 09:08 PM

Regardless of what happens, I think we can all agree that Steve is freakin amazing.

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 10.14.2011, 09:08 PM

Fuck this.

nancykitten · 10.14.2011, 09:13 PM

I feel ill.

EVOLghost · 10.14.2011, 09:19 PM

I want to cut off my tongue like Kakihara now after seein Eugene's sig. Use it as offering to SY

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 10.14.2011, 09:21 PM

Just when I thought 2011 was a great year for music...

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 10.14.2011, 09:22 PM

At least there's always Fred Durst's sitcom.

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 10.14.2011, 09:23 PM

Man, if I made a list of stuff that would be a sure thing for forever, I wouldn't even bother listing Kim and Thurston's status as a couple, that's how much of a sure thing I thought it was. Never really came into question in my mind.

I certainly hope the band finds it in them to stay together. Though if they quit, I wouldn't be totally surprised. And to be fair, we got more great records from them than we probably deserve.

But yeah, as someone said before, if they do stay together, I hope this turn of events turns out a really great record.

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 10.14.2011, 09:32 PM

Here's to high hopes for Sonic Youth 2012!

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 10.14.2011, 09:35 PM

And here's to even higher hopes...

krastian · 10.14.2011, 09:36 PM

This should be a night where everyone pays for their internet sins.

jennthebenn · 10.14.2011, 09:52 PM

Everything Krastian has said here, times 23. Patrick and I will be in NYC
this weekend seeing the other half of SY...damn y'all.

Even with that new lineup, Lee would still get only one song per album.

Pax Americana · 10.14.2011, 10:01 PM

This totally floored me. Sonic Youth always seemed so unshakeable to me, and I think of big part of that was because Kim and T were together and had been for so long. Obviously, I don't know them personally, so I can't begin to speculate what caused the split, but (for whatever reason) I just never thought there'd be a day like this. My parents separated and then divorced and it was fucking hell. I feel bad for Coco. Man... shitty news... I really feel pretty bad about this.

Dead-Air · 10.14.2011, 10:08 PM

I'm reposting my reaction from Facebook, because I heard it there in Genteel Death's post first.

Less than 3 months ago, I went to see Thurston play in Portland and Kim was in the audience up front with Coco. He ended the night with "Psychic Hearts" which my wife covered and I went home and told her all that. Now Deanne's dead and Kim and Thurston are breaking up. I'm well aware nothing lasts forever, but this has been the fucking hell year.
