Please post any information you have about future releases here and I'll keep this updated...

Ouch, that's pricey!

I've been planning to post this on 1/1/15 for nearly a year now, and you just went and took that from me. :\

also, I wish the Goofin' Reissue would have the reversed SIDE B tracks from the cassette.

I'm sure someone else would've beat you to it. :p


me too!

"Cuts of Guilt, Cuts Deeper", tentative title of a collaborative album by Merzbow, Mats Gustafsson, Balazs Pandi, & Thurston Moore. Due for release in March 2015, via RareNoise Records (whom will offer a subscription deal, similar to Joyful Noise Recordings').

Hopefully maybe the Byron Coley book on Sonic Youth. A few weeks ago Thurston posted a tweet that went something like "Coming Soon - Stereo Sanctity" he deleted the tweet since then.

bad moon rising CD/LP reissue is nearly completed. manufactured for
release in early 2015.

We need a Washing Machine reissue!

FINALLY!

Is this going to be more than just a reissue? Will it have bonus material too?

not that i know of.

Make that a deluxe reissue, with mid-90's Memphis,TN barbeque joint takeout menus. Would love to hear outtakes/demos/standout live takes of Washing Machine material

that would be cool!

I reckon Confusion, BMR, Evol and Sister deserve the grandiose reissue treatment the following albums were afforded, even more so than Goo + Dirty. All classic and unique albums! A double disc would mean they wouldn't have to tack a song like Bubblegum on the end of Evol (not suited at all!) and stick it on a second disc with some choice live cuts/outtakes from the era. Same with Master Dik on Sister.

Still, Geffen reissues were pretty good and had some cool liner notes. Evol CD needs a good re-mastering as was mentioned somewhere else in this forum.

I wonder why BMR is gonna be re-issued before Confusion?

isn't the screaming fields of sonic love dvd coming out too?

"Reader to be announced"

This begs for a thread on who should read this thing for the 12-hour, 10CD audiobook... :D

[EDIT: And no, do not mention that girl, we're past those shitty posts!]

it can definitely be mentioned all year :)

Are there any times when the 20~15 part of Skip Tracer has been described by Lee or Leah Singer or anyone? it does create one of those interweaving song experiences with Hey Joni.
In both songs these are unique standout moments in music, there is a specific range of moods and mysteries to them that is hard to match!

Music is very much a time machine and one that is formed by and travels by creative expression...

Marc Masters: Byron Coley is starting a print zine called "The Bull Tongue Review." 1st one is out soon, I was lucky enough to contribute alongside this amazing lineup of great writers: Todd Abramson, Steve Albini, Alan Bishop, Bree, Rej T. Broth, Joe Carducci, Lisa Carver, Benoit Chaput, Sharon Cheslow, Karen Constance, Nigel Cross, Chris D, Irene Dogmatic, Lili Dwight, Ray Farrell, Andrea Feldman, Tom Givan, Tom Greenwood, Mats Gustafsson, Angela Jaeger, Elaine Kahn, Ira Kaplan, Maria Kozic, Matt Krefting, Ted Lee, Donna Lethal, Owen Maercks, Hisham Mayet, Richard Meltzer, Thurston Moore, Dylan Nyoukis, Gary Panter, Tony Rettman, Bruce Russell, Suzy Rust, Andy Schwartz, Brian Turner, Naomi Yang.

a few tips from the band:

evol #

sister ?

confusion #

screaming fields #

a Washing Machine re-issue in the style of Motorpsycho's latest reissue box (Demon Box, 4cd + DVD concert) would be very welcome

audio version? interesting. looking forward for that book.

I do hope the EVOL film wont be a bonus on Screaming Fields but will get its own release.

10 cds? Really? people are willing to buy something like that? Wouldn't everyone be better off with a version of the book with some kind of download code for an mp3 version of the reading (split in chapters or something, in case one REALLY wants to burn audio cds from it)? Or are audiophiles gonna complain for the audio quality? haha.

Dunno.

Audio CD for UK fans !!

that is what i ment. i am looking forward to have a book version over audio version. it is just interesting that it is being released as an audio book. some people might prefer audio ver. over written ver.. and who is going to narrate it anyway? mp3 bonus of audio version when purchasing book is not a bad idea at all by the way.

...and would be a 20 year anniversary. Jeezus, Diamond Sea was my jam in high school.

Maybe this is old news, but I just noticed that the prison documentary Hard Time narrated by Thuston is on Netflix. Might be cool to sample his voice from the narration.

what about the collaboration album of Steve with Disappears and White/Light? Will it ever be released, or was it perhaps already released ages ago and I missed it. Can't find any mention of it though, except announcements here for instance when it was supposed to be released in late 2012

As far as I know, the only released goody from "dw/lss" is that 2010 split 7" with JBe:

New O' Rourke

The sample sounds great....

"Full Bleed", new record by Caught on Tape (Thurston Moore & John Moloney), is now available to pre-order from Northern Spy Records' official Bandcamp:

I just heard Satan Is Boring (Supermix) and loved it! I reckon it could work well on the end of the BMR re-issue CD!!

Definitely, vinyl reissue!

Thanks!

So new caught on tape album?!

Yeah! Thanks!
