You will see.

it is all co-opted.

30 years ago no one would have believed it if you told them the stooges and the Ramones would be ubiquitous commercial music, but they are now.

enjoy selling thjem yr souls for some stupid fucking jeans./


This is sort of like an endless march. The things we thought were insane and ahead of their time culturally will be boring and blase years later. It seems to happen faster nowadays. But still, they aren't playing "Death Trip" or "LA Blues" on commercials. I love the stooges, but culture moves forward. And doesn't everyone from Lady Gaga to Madonna at least pretend to like the stooges? Sonic Youth is next, not that I'm saying they'll be in jean ads, but that everyone in their mother in the indie crowd pretends to like sonic youth even when they've probably listened to half of Daydream Nation at best. Is it pathetic? Yeah. Is it surprising? No.

Music on an album is just a long advertisement for the manufacturers of the plastic used to make cd's (also an advertisement tool for the people who print up the booklets and make cases).

Um, no it's not. I really hope you don't believe that because it would be incredibly dumb. Music was being made before CDs, before jewel cases, before booklets, before it could be recorded, before there were even musical instruments. It was the first type of art humans made. That's why it's the most important.

And that's why it pisses me off that people like you are happy to cheapen it.

I love knowing that whatever associations are made in people's heads as a result of the art of their music will now be forever tainted by the image of a shiny volkswagen 4 wheel drive vehicle, or a new style of underwear! yay!

You idiot! How dare you have associations with music beyond commerce and melody. Music is only about stuff that sounds good and stuff that you can use to make a product look cool and, oh yeah, making money.

Don't you know that you're only supposed to listen to a song for about two weeks and then forget about it and move on to another one?

I'm sure the other day I've heard a girl whistling part of the silver sessions in starbucks while I waited for my frappuccino. She probably didn't even know who authored that.

infinitemusic 05.20.2010 03:35 PM

... so that's the point of what I was saying. Sonic Youth were once considered mindnumbingly out there. Now they aren't. Was I saying anything about my underground credibility or the fact that I'm SO KOOL BECUZ I FUCKING THINK SONIC YOUTH ARE LAME BECAUSE THEY DIDD GOSSIP GRRL LAST YEAR? No you fucking retard, I was pointing out, consistent with my original post, that culture moves forward.

Sometimes I really wonder how some of you people can be so insulated in your little bubble that you actually think that you're intelligent. Well, keep echoing back and forth with other morons and enjoy it. No one else will

ni'k 05.20.2010 03:36 PM

Mindnumbingly Out There!

Yeah Fuck Your Mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111

ni'k 05.20.2010 03:51 PM

Genteel Death 05.20.2010 03:55 PM

Let's party like it's 1991!

ni'k 05.20.2010 03:57 PM

ok you can have me depending on how big a music career you have but you have to get addicted to heroin first k?

also you have to write all my songs because i have too much plastic surgery in my fingers to play guitar. also heroin.

also i'm gonna get pregnant and do heroin and you have to ring up journalists who talk about this and threaten to kill them.

its called TAKE HEROIN = BE CELEBRITY. its my masterplan. its why i am a genius.

Genteel Death 05.20.2010 04:22 PM

I'll do anything it takes to make you happy.

ni'k 05.20.2010 04:26 PM

ok all you need to do is remember and understand forever that I AM THE GIRL WITH THE MOST CAKE. no other bitch. me.

My favorite thing about Sunn was that they started as a joke band/a one-of tribute to Earth. And now they're absolutely huge -- bigger than Earth, even.

GeneticKiss 06.19.2010 12:22 PM

True story--I first heard about Sunn 0))) on this forum, and few years later, they've been appearing in Guitar World magazine...

atsonicpark 06.19.2010 12:22 PM

they should call their next album "larger than earth".
