Oh! Plus that was in reference to Ikue Mori who, ironically enough, became one of the most unique and interesting drummers ever!

RE: Soundsfromnothing's post and the 'looks>talent' issue.
I think it's important to remember that most of these bands were very young (mid twenties tops, right) when that type of thing is still important.

I was introduced to Jim Sclavunos in Portland, Maine by Peggy Szorski back in 1991 or '92 as "This is my friend Jim Sclavunos, he turned down a position in Sonic Youth." to which I said "Why the hell'd you do that?". I can't remember his response, because I was so busy thinking "Wow, this guy really 'blew it'."
HAHAHAHA oh my god...

The guy in the t-shirt is Byron Coley, a long-time critic and writer on the rock scene, particularly the avant-garde or underground rock scene. He wrote for SPIN at one time, and more crucially, for the lamented FORCED EXPOSURE. The guy in the foreground in the long-sleeved shirt is, ahem, Thurston Moore, founding (and still current)member of SONIC YOUTH.

No wave was definitely an interesting genre. It was a cool movement that splintered off punk. There were different sub styles within no wave (Russell even flirted with disco blah!)but there was the idea of experimentation there. The only thing I don't like is the "Well you look good, so you can be in the band" type of thing. That's a little counter=productive to the whole "come as you are" idea. |
