Thurston Moore Announces ‘In Silver Rain with a Paper Key’ Album/Book
Steve Albini might think that Sonic Youth “should be embarrassed” about their career choices, but something tells me Thurston Moore could care less. Soldiering on with his excellent Ecstatic Peace Library record/book label, the SY guitarist/singer/noise professor has a brand new solo release on the way: In Silver Rain with a Paper Key, “a hardcover monograph containing two seven-inch vinyl records, as well as art, photographs, lyrics, poetry and other texts from Moore’s personal notebooks and visual archives.”

Sonic Youth - “Mote”
when the seasons circle sideways without a turn
and words don’t speak just fall across the carpet
you’re just in time to watch the fire burn
it seems a crime that you face it like you love it
all the time

Sonic Youth - “Stones”
Live at the Avalon, Boston, Mass. Aug. 14, 2004
“…Steve thinks for a long time.
‘The Stones maybe.’
‘The Stones! Oh man!’ Everyone cracks up. ‘But I’d still like Charlie to be in the band.’
‘The Stones could use you, they could use you real bad.’
What about you Thurston?
‘I would leave if ..’
‘If the Flag reunited,’ says Steve, trying to get his own back.
‘Yeah, the Flag. If Black Flag got back together and asked me to sing, I’d be gone. I’d be out of here on the next plane home.’
Kim? ‘The GTOs. Or the Jesus and Mary Chain.’
Lee Renaldo, what group would you join, if you could? ‘I don’t think I would join any.’
‘Lee would join the Dead. If Jerry called you up and said, Lee, I’ve been listening to those old Sonic Youth records, how about going on our tour of India with us?’
‘India maybe. India would be the key word.’”
— Sonic Youth in 1987, listing for NME the bands that they each would leave Sonic Youth to join, as found in this Airstrip*6 article.
