sonic youth draws fans with all ranges of musical tastes, from those that love classic rock, to those for whom sonic youth is the most "normal" band they listen to.

[Rob Instigator]

You have confused me, yet again floatingslowly.

[Rob Instigator]

[floatingslowly]

however, since you don't want it, I'll be keeping that goat for myself.

I do nto see how being a sonic youth maniac fanatic has anything to do with laurie anderson.

Firstly, "old hag": age has nothing to with it, and shes only six years older than the oldest member of SY. And y'know, I just find it bizarre of that your favourite band just released 30 minutes of droning noise and most people on the forum would have payed £10 to hear it, and yet you seem so abhored by Anderson's comparatively more accessible take on experimental music. I love all experimental music and would never call it pure pretentious wankery, but surely Rob if anything is pretentious wankery SYR7 and much of SY's output is just that. And yet, here you are on a Sonic Youth forum. Does this seem bizarre to anyone else?!

[Rob Instigator]

fuck the semantics man. I hate her performances and I hate her music.

I love sonic youth's performances and I love their music. it's as simple as that. just opinions you know.

[atari 2600]

Gee, it's too bad Laurie doesn't have big tits and/or a big ass, or she might have a fan in Rob.

But to sum up, you're such an embodiment of a macho stereotype, misogynistic tendencies and all, that you fail to see the forest for the trees. I mean, it's readily obvious.

I hardly think such an unreasonably strong term as "hate" should be directed at Laurie Anderson repeatedly from any open-minded person, especially one that otherwise enjoys a lot of cool music.

I understand its your opinion dude, and your not obliged to like her. But as a clear fan of experimental music claiming Anderson to be pretentious wankery and that being a reason for not liking her... is beyond strange.

i never heard of cheeto being a fan of "experimental" anything, so i'm not sure how that's clear.

and even if he was, i dont' see the incoherence--

and even if it was incoherent-- so??

ps- sorry, for those of you who are new, cheeto = rob

Something can be experimental and not pretentious and vice versa. Rob made similar comments about Philip Glass, why aren't you defending him as vehemently? Perhaps the sexism is on your own side. Just because someone attacks a woman's work it doesn't make him a misogynist.

[atari 2600]

Personally, I did state that I like Philip Glass okay for what he does. And I stated my case on that account.

And it's not like I'm gonna prove that Rob has strong misogynistic tendencies, but it's also, as I stated before, readily obvious that he indeed does routinely demonstrate those very tendencies to those paying any sort of estimable attention.

Take it for what it's worth. The dude is an okay guy, as guys usually go, but ultimately, he's a self-serving ass. There was never a need for him to write in this thread that she sucked or that he hated her, and moreover, there is even less credibility to possibly be gleaned for repeating the same dumb, obnoxious shit over and over in this wedding thread.

I did not, at any point, call him a misogynist.

"hate" is an apt description for the rage and venom that ensues every single time I have to listen to or watch Laurie anderson. I actively HATE IT, just like I actively hate when I have to sit and hear Counting Crows.
I never attacked YOU personally, yet you attacked me, see?
I don;t like it when people bad mouth sonic youth but they are free to do so, even on sonic youth's own forum.
