I've thought of SY as the most innovative band I know of for a long time now, but it just hit me that, recently, they haven't been that innovative. Yeah, their music sounds like no one else's, but its still sounded the same for a long, long time.
What Im getting at is that Id like to see a SY album WITHOUT guitars. They should just trade all their guitars in for some MPCs, drum machines, synths, etc, and try and make something entirely new. I can say in all honesty that I would REALLY anticipate hearing an album like that, and who can say that about the more recent SY albums (as decent as they are). I think some of the stuff they did on the Whitey album was very interesting and its a shame they didnt go down that avenue with their later stuff. Who's with me? |

sounds like a "let's make our Kid-A" process to me...but it could be interesting.

I like Kid A, but Amnesiac is SO much better. And then Hail To The Theif completely slays everything Radiohead has ever done (in a god way).

I really cant see Sonic Youth without guitars. There are plenty good bands who already utilize drum machines, etc. to make innovative music. That just doesnt seem like it would be SY's kind of thing. It would be interesting, but I like them the way they are.

I'd like to see the next album focus more on Steve. Lots of extended pieces focusing mainly on drums- but not drum solos. Perhaps Steve could give us his vocal debut, singing a song about Candy, or Wuv. I bet he sings like Jemina Pearl.

I'd like them to put a record out that has no actual music on it.In fact,no, i would like them to put a record out that has somebody else's music on it.As part of an experiment they should put out somebody else's album under their own guises.......Lily Allen's new one would be just perfect for that.

Yeah, little worried about where they can go from here. Last few albums have been deadly but I get the feeling unless they pull out something surprising (and I don't mean Lily Allen) they could well end up irrelevant.
That said, a self-consciously anti-guitar album could well end up being really contrived. Steve Shelly sings disco hits of the 70s? |

Good. I hope she dies horribly. But not really, I just don't like her. Face it, Steve is the new SY direction.
All hail Shelley. |
