Love the noise stuff. Miss SY but Kim is def the parent I’d prefer to live with.

[@nic-ci_66-77]

I can't even imagine what could be to live with her. I'm not really the type who loves vips or the one who idolizes his idols, but I mean.. to stay so close with such a figure, to see her shadow cast in a same room, whether mother or daughter, sister, wife or lover.. ¡Now I can think to her as a man! I suspect that the complexity of her being a goddess, her charm might not be bearable for a normal man like I am

[@endlessnameless6494]

Thurston always veered stuff into hippie dippie land, honestly. Kim seemed like more of the NY punk "grit". Thurston's stuff cool, but def. trails off into stoner/boring land a lot of the times. Just a different vibe.

There's plenty to admire about both Kim and Thurston's musical output during and after Sonic Youth. Alternative music is not a competition.

It sounds like Suicide - good stuff.

[@moderntupperware]

Doodle around with guitar effects and throw a 4/4 riff in there here and there and try different beats to it until it sounds appropriate. I really dig this one. Great outcome and the lyrics and vocal deliveries are as pleasing and clever as ever. Kim was always the stronger, more intense, Arty, and totally creepy main part of the Good Stuff I feel.

Ahh, the voice. Kim’s voice. She’s Orbison, Walker, Elvis. Tone, cadence, timbre, she’s poetry when she speaks and sings. I love Kim as a musician, an actress, a mother and a poet/literary figure. So much bad things in the world right now, it’s easy to give up hope, be beat down. Kim is hope, this music is so good, I’m gonna blast it in my car while I do dumb things for my job, let it bleed into my ears, bleed and bore into my bones and guts. Reset my brain, get up, get out of bed, put on pants, keep going. Art can get better, art can be the moment!

[@Shalanaya]

To me it seems to be critizing capitalism, I suspect the whole album is about it, criticizing the capitalists that consume everything to an extent they become consumed by it, including their own identity enough they no longer know themselves, it is symbolizing the collapse of dualism where one end is consumed by the other end like snake eating its own tail demonstrated in symbolism through sexual polarity like cross-dressing. And what happens when dualism collapses, it gives birth to an inner unified authority where all divisive lines of duality form into a triangle of trinity (time, space and consciousness) that has power over the physical reality and its body which exists only within duality realm (time and space, while consciousness as the authority used to be given out to outside establishments like religion, governments, etc). In my view this song could be interpreted as a look at the apocalyptic outcome of unrestrained capitalism that makes people lose the truth of who people are as a result of being prisoners of the materialistic world, these are the people that tend to attack marginalized people like LGBTQ who know their identity and are not lost like them, it exposes hypocrisy, that's also why transphobia and homophobia have been found to have roots in narcissism, no coincidence there, a narcissist does not know themselves, they are attracted to those who do in order to tear them down, because they hate people who deviate from homogenizing norms that keep everyone repressed by acting on their own true selves. These same people watch trans porn while the other day try to legislate trans folk out of existence. I am curous about the whole album as it will offer a bigger thematic picture. I love this song, it sends a message out there - "Fuck up the matrix and free the sheep". And I love that!!!
