There is a great 8 page feature on Sonic Youth (5 pages pictures, 3 pages text) in the June 2006 issue of The Wire.

Also included in the issue is a beginners guide to John Fahey and an article on Jutta Koether, with whom Kim has collaborated in the past.

Yeah, I agree, they're not very flattering are they? Kim looks like she's been made up for her own funeral, while Thurston definitely appears to have stopped drinking from the fountain of youth.

The "current issue" on the Wire website at the moment is the May one, the SY article is in June's issue.

The Wire has had this weird infatuation w/ the Youth since like 1998, not complaining but i find it intriguing they definitly do fit the nature of the magazine's intent but i'm just abit puzzled that they don't give as much cred to alot of other fringe artists out there...

I don't know about you guys, but Kim looks really nice in those pictures. I think SY has aged really well. They have hardly changed at all. Except for Lees' hair, they've changed very little. If Lee dyed his hair black he'd be back to looking like this. But Lee looks cool with gray hair. He always looks cool.

SugarLips ain't too shabby
get off the subject people and talk about the article;

in pictures they look like normal everyday life; they always have been true in that respect; jeez from the talk you guys ask like they are some visually focused band, which has been only acted as tongue in cheek with the fashion stuff..

no 'pretty done up no talents on the ship' I'm glad to see SY isn't fucking faking it up with face lifts and airbrushing like some stupid pop idols

So tell us about the article please.. I haven't picked it up yet

The article is a good one. It puts Rather Ripped into context (I can't remember exactly what was written, but Thurston refers to the band wanting to make an album that has the same sort of impact as Parallel Lines had for Blondie), and refers a lot to their work outside the band and its relevance to the band.

I'll pop out and get the magazine out of my car in my lunch hour and then I can be a bit more precise.

The opening paragraph:

"I wanted it to be like our Parallel Lines, when Blondie broke out with Parallel Lines", Thurston Moore is saying. "I remember when Parallel Lines came out we were al so pissed off. 'Why would they make a record with all this lightweight pop stuff on it?' Even though some of the songs are super good. That became their classic and it dictated what they became as a band, which was from my perspective really annoying. I remember thinking when it came out: 'Ewwww, Mike Chapman production.' This is our Parallel Lines. We're trying to make Parallel Lines right."


Later, Jim-related:

Though he has significantly scaled down his musical activities and sold almost all of his instruments, computers and recording equipment, Jim O'Rourke has not retired from music altogether, and future collaborations are planned. "There are only certain places he'll go to," says Gordon. "He's through with Europe and certain cities in the US - I don't think i could get him to play in Chicago. The last Sonic Youth gigs in Europe that he was doing with us, as we would finish each gig in each country he would be checking it off his list. 'I will never come to france again'," Moore laughs. "And Lee would be going, 'That's bullshit, you'rew so full of shit.' And he would be like, 'Nope, I am never coming here again.' He was liberating himself from the planet. It was kind of amazing."

Three more things, but I can't be bothered to type everything out any more:

1. the planned SY/Brigette Fontaine CD/DVD on SYR got abandoned because it tied the label up in red tape for eighteen months or more and the whole SYR catalogue ended up stalled around the one project.

2. There are plans to release an SYR collection of all SY's film music, dating back to Made in USA, on two or three CDs, but they haven't decided whether it should be seperate volumes or one multi-pack.

3. Lee wants to see "A real serious concert series, of different live gigs from different points in our career" on SYR, but says that the process of archiving the recordings, listening to them all and selecting the best ones would be a daunting task.

There is a hell of a lot more to the article than that, so you really should go out and buy The Wire or order it or whatever.
