Hey, can I drop by your guys’ offices and hear this thing soon? I’m afraid I have a mysterious illness which will leave me dead before June 9.

“what’s ‘Cotton Crown’ then, to name just one?”

a great song where I struggle to hear Lee?

Nils metioned “Cotton Crown” straight away. He would’ve submitted a correction, but if he publicly contradicts me more than a dozen times any calendar month, he’s fined.

“…features many firsts for a Sonic Youth album, including a number of shared vocals between Kim, Thurston, and Lee”
Shared vocals a first? What’s ‘Cotton Crown’ then, to name just one?

I threw that in there fully anticipating someone would want to punch me in the head for it. What can I say, within every aging independent record industry vet there’s a frustrated PF contributor dying to bust out.

OK, not really. But it’s a funny idea. Either way, I think people are gonna be pretty amazed when they hear this.

“Neoteric”?

Not a criticism, rather a pause … to run to the dictionary.

Great to see the Fahey cover– that is definitely inspired, and I’m hopeful about the shared vocals, which in theory is a terrific way of breaking up familiar patterns of declamation.
