Got to meet Thurston Moore as a youth. He is very tall, still have a Sister t-shirt.
haha well it really wasn't that exciting their music sort of confused us at first.mos dan wrote:well i for one am impressed dub-u!!! tell us more!
i am a sy obsessive too... i actually like the geffen stuff and the later albums almost as much as daydream nation etc, albeit in different ways... 'murray street' in particular is a great example of how they're still relevant. i found 'a thousand leaves' slightly hard work but still absolutely rinsed it anyway
i spent most of my teenage years watching bands who *wished* they were sonic youth.. bands like urusei yatsura, ikara colt, etc. i love them too though, don't get me wrong. far better to worship thurston moore than robert plant innit!
It wasn't till later that i personally realized that i was pretty lucky to see them in that context and it did inspire me in my own musical path.
