TM: Yeah, well, every time you make a record it's always the record you want to make at that time. I don't even remember some of our records. If somebody talks to me about a record like A Thousand Leaves, I don't even know what's on there. But that record was probably extremely important to us when we made it.

Self-note: don't tell Thurston Moore that "A Thousand Leaves" is your
favorite album of all time; it will mean nothing to him.

"Watt Here! I'm downstairs from your window... if you're up...
pub 'phone booth... if you're up...(I get tense) [Beep]"
[Mike Watt]
"Thurston! Watt! Thurston! I think it's ten thirty, we're calling
from Providence, Rhode Island. Did you find your shit? You gotta
watch the mota Thurston, your fuckin' memory just goes out tha window.
We couldn't find it in the van at all, we wonderin' if you looked in
that trash can. When we threw out that trash, man, was the bag in
your hand, did you dump it? Call later. Bye."

poor Thurston his memory just goes out tha window!! ah! ah!

Well I don't even remember any Sonic Youth songs, even though there is chance that some of them were important to me when I was a completely different person a long time ago.

So consider yourself out-hipped, dude whose name I forgot that plays guitar in that one band.

Yeah, I think he was just being sarcastic.

I know, not Thurston Moore. Not ever.
