My favorite member of Sonic Youth, although it flips between her & Lee Ranaldo.

lee's cool. i'm more predictable. i'm a thurston fan. i think he and kim are one of the hippest couples ever.

Undeniably!

And I have no probs with Thurston as the sig attests.

I have sort of a crush on Lee and that contributes to his being a favorite.

Plus, "Rats" is one of my favorite SY songs.

I have a love/hate thing going with Lee's songwriting, but I think as a guitarist he's criminally underrated, I'm guessing mostly because Thurston's so much more of a ham. Seeing them live for the first time, I was surprised at how much of their sound would be missing if not for Lee.

I wanna see them live again!!!!!

Haven't seen them live yet.

Why does this thread make feel old, suddenly?

kim still looks younger than lindsay lohan!

I really have a thing for Kim. Thurston knows what's good, like his love affair with the Carpenters.

Lee isn't Greg Ginn, but he is the master of fuzz.

How old is she?

Why am I going to do a wardrobe return knowing full well the "wrecka stow" is next door to the shop...and I 'm trying with all my might not to dip back into my college/20- something time and spend all my dough on nostalgia muusic today !!!!

You know we're a bit slow here with the digital revolution in the GE...my upstairs neighbor owns the last classsical/jazz/indie stores in my hood...I really want to go upstairs, bang on his door and swipe all the Sonic Youth he has in his arsenal (as a payback for killing my daisies with his loudness and pot smoking...)

although the more I think of it, that makes me sound older than Kim and waaaay less hip

i think depending on where you live, the urge to rock a sonic youth music binge could be seen as an act of utter fabulousness.

i think if you get the (in my opinion) holy trinity of daydream nation, goo, and dirty, you should be goo(d) to go(o). if you have a few bucks left over, it wouldn't hurt to add a thousand leaves on to that list.
