Sonic 2014
 

...

*Lee Ranaldo And The Dust - "Revolution Blues/Bushes And Briars" 7" on Primavera Sound. This one should be just around the corner, has been a pre-order item at many online stores like Boomkat and Norman Records for a while.

*Ephemeroptera Quarterly III. Art book/fanzine featuring 11 different artists (Kim Gordon, and Bill Nace are among them) plus a 7" lathe cut record that includes an unreleased Body/Head track. Should had been released in December, but bad weather got in the way ruining the party.

*Dinosaurs In Vietnam Compilation Volume III. Long delayed. Could we finally get to hear Lee Ranaldo contributing vocals to a song by New Beings?

*The Thing Records have plans to release a lot of stuff in 2014, Thurston Moore is involved in some of it.

*Sun Kil Moon's "Benji", which features Steve Shelley, can be pre-ordered now from Caldo Verde Records. Release date is January 14th.

*Taping Policies should be releasing a Thurston Moore cassette tape, and maybe "Borbetomagus: A Pollock of Sound", a documentary which features Thurston Moore collaborating (as well as some other figures such as Chris Corsano and Byron Coley who were also spoiled by Borbetomagus).

*Northern Spy might release a new Caught On Tape LP, recorded not so long ago at Justin Pizzoferrato's Sonelab Studios.

*Body/Head - "Reverse Hard/Change My Brain" 7" on Open Mouth Records.

*Thurston Moore UK- "The Solo Series No. 5". It can be pre-ordered from Blank Editions' bigcartel store. Release date is February 2014.

*Spirit Desire", by Jenn Benningfield, please.

Bump.

Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for production and post-production of "O U T R I D E R", a documentary film by Alystyre Julian on Anne Waldman. "Language Poet" perk (a $75 contribution) would grant donors a CD compilation of Clark Coolidge in collaboration with Anne Waldman, Thurston Moore & Ambrose Bye, in addition to other digital goodies, updates on the project, and gratitude:

do I really need to say "EVOL DVD"?

came here to post this...but I see you got it. Alright!

I've been listening to it a lot. Lovely performance.

Hmm...and what about the Sister remaster that was supposed to come out? Maybe the band will just remaster and reissue their back catalog through Matador or SYR Records? Maybe we shall get some answers in the near future.

I was lucky enough to interview Sonic Youth back in 1992 when they played with Mudhoney and Pavement at Castaic Lake, California and I was writing for fLipSiDE Fanzine. I think that I still have the interview on cassette somewhere in my archives! Must dig it out some day soon!

You'd earn a tremendous amount of karma if you did.

(Unless you're trolling.)

thanks! this looks interesting! must listen to it.

i have a feeling that guys do not have urge to re-release old SY stuff at the moment. looks like they will be busy in 2014 with their projects and i think it will be plenty of it..to even track it down? or no?

Apparently Thurston Moore is working on a new solo album, tentatively titled "Detonation", which is expected to be released sometime this year on Matador Records.

Finally out! Ordered my copy from Boomkat today (no U.S. stores nor U.S. third-party sellers seemed to have it). I hope it shows up soon!

seems that way. I'm kind of bummed.

They said on their Facebook we will be seeing reissues this year, including Daydream Nation

while 2014 reissues makes me very happy, why the heck would we need another DDN reissue?

I heard a rumor on a Chapman/Moore collaboration ...

It'd be nice to have that gatefold without paying out the ass, and maybe it'll be a different mastering than the reissue we got a few years ago.
