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

(From emptythreats)

“…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.

Sonic Youth - “Karen Revisited” (live in Hultsfred 2002)

SHE TAKES A PLASTIC PILL/SHE PLAYS THE WEATHERMAN
SHE SCREAMS “RELIGION KILLS MORE THAN IT SAVE YA, MAN”
SHE PAINTED FILIGREES/SHE WAS THE ACID QUEEN
SHE CLAIMS SOCIETY IS JUST A FEVER DREAM

NOW YOU LIVE IN THE TREES AND SALTY SEAS
TRIPPING OUT IN THE BLUE SKIES
YOU SHUT THE DOOR ON EVERYTHING
TOO BUSY GETTING HIGH
AND ME, JUST ANOTHER DREAM THEORY
LOST INSIDE YOUR EYES
