another half-assed record from Thurston, meanwhile LeeIsFree is aging musically like fine wine. I'm starting to strongly feel that Thurston without Lee-Steve is not as good as we thought. Retrospectively analyzing his solo records over the past 20 years, I'd say they amount to fluff compared to his material with Sonic Youth. Sorry Thurston, but without Sonic Youth you're seemingly out of you league bro

Thurston's genius (yep) is for melody lines. Nine times out of ten . . . well, seven times out of ten, when I have an SY tune in my head, it's a Thurston vocal melody line. Yeah, it's often a copy of the main riff, but a good melody is a good melody. And melody is probably the hardest thing to write.

This tune has no melody. And it's the title track? I hope it's the worst song of the bunch, but if it's the title track it may very well be the best.

I don't know if LR's recent solo records are any better than TM's.

It's not a competition between the two (or is it?) and I know the quality of TM's output varies considerably, but this:

and this:

are as good as it gets as far as I'm concerned.

Reminds me more of a Psychic Hearts tune, it may be the tuning. It's better than the clm record but then anything less metal is always going to sound better.

The Soup Nazi · 03.15.2014, 11:54 AM

What's the matter with you people? The "Detonation"/"Germs Burn" 7-incher totally fucken rocks!

Never got that 7". But I admit I really like Detonation althought there is really nothing new. Hope the both songs are in forthcoming whole LP...

From Thurston's Facebook:

today: recording new songs for new cd with steve shelley, deb, james in secret location in north london - september release

Who is Deb?

Rob Instigator · 03.26.2014, 09:43 AM

deb must be the girl he is cheating on the girl he cheated on Kim with!

Derek · 03.26.2014, 08:50 PM

I have to agree with this statement. Personally I guess I may be in the minority about not really appreciating Lee's Dust band's output thus far, the songs are not catching on to my ears and sound bland and tame and old (too much like "classic rock"), i kinda want him to let loose abit more, so Lee aging well? i don't think so. IMO his best "songs" are within sonic youth... And much prefer his solo improv work.

Still not sure of what i think of Kim's Body/Head though i really like Bill Nace's other collaborations alot more... Body/Head seems more of a live experience than a record i want to crank on my stereo over and over...

Have you heard the Body/Gate/Head LP mate? It's fucking brilliant.

Genteel Death · 03.30.2014, 03:46 PM

Body/Head is excellent but it isn't Sonic Youth for sure. Lee Ranaldo's records are only a little better than Thurston's. Maybe. Change in direction is fine, I encourage that sort of thing myself because it must be boring to always do the same thing. If the actual songs were any good. But they're not. I mean, it's great that they are musicians and do what they are known for and they, as artists, love doing. Nobody is going to remember them for their solo records though.
