My feelings on Kim Gordon I shall keep to myself.

Steve Shelley is ok.

actually, if steve shelley progressed beyond his single mode of playing, i'd be happy. i never really thought about it until someone mentioned it, and it was extremely obvious on the new record.

the first time i saw SY ('89), thurston was wearing that green jacket. of all the times i've seen 'em (probably about 8 or so), they've never mailed in a performance.
I just remember my ears not functioning properly for a couple of days.

They are always good live.

one of my my rockstar moments was standing next to thurston moore and kim gordon and at a fugazi show up in massachusetts. i felt like a rock star just being able to stand next to them.
oh to be young again.

i bumped into and talked w/ lee ranaldo @ the ICA the day before the chicago show i saw in '00 or so.

They did an unannounced show in Chapel Hill NC a few years ago and I just happened to be there. Great show. After the show a friend and I went to another really small bar in town for a drink. They ended up coming to the same bar themselves so I got to meet/chat with all of them.
