haha, I knew you'd like that one, man! And yr rep managed to get me to Page 1 for the first time! So thanks!

I have never heard a Sonic Youth record until I had my hands on a physical copy and it won't be any different this time. (tho I listened to Trees Outside... a bunch of times on luisterpaal online before I purchased the CD)

I stole it for fuppets and my sig.

tight. This my first fuppetting. Big day for me.

new mixtape with one or two new trackc would be nice....

that would be nice.

besides we going to hear them before june......someone will record their gigs in Europe....

if will go, I will record some.

I never said Chris had anything to do with the way the band releases their albums.

The point is the SY crew should be "leaking" the album on their own website since there is absolutely no way to stop a general leak in the first place. They need to adapt to the new music market like Radiohead have done.

The problem is looking at a leak as twatery. When in this new music market it should be looked at as a great opportunity to reach untold numbers of people.

aleak takes ONE TWAT, one record label twat, record store with an advance copy twat, engineer studio twat employee, to actually do the leaking.

It is TWATTERY,

I will wait until JULY 9th just to show I'm stronger than anyone here!

And then I'll buy it on iTunes to support the best band in the world and the best computer company in the world at once!

And then I'll get completely naked, write "SONIK FUKING YOOTH" on my stomach with a big hi impact sharpie, coat my whole body in a mix of vasoline and crisco, and ride around Portland listening to it on my iPod on a Three Speed Bike!

I smell a turd. Rather Ripped 2?

yeah sure...friendly "sharing"

Your all fans of Sonic Youth, reading and contributing on a Sonic Youth message board - LEAK OR NO LEAK ON THIS BOARD, WE'LL ALL BUY THE ALBUM IN SOME FORM. Will the band lose money because of it? Fuck knows. Will I wake up in a cold sweat worrying about some cunt 'twatting' Sonic Youth? No. Does that make me a twat? I dont give a fuck, i've got work tomorrow morning.

It's really hard for me to resist listening to songs from a band I love once they've leaked, but whether the album leaks or not, I'll still be buying it. I always seem to end up with two copies of most records, because I get the CD right away and then want the vinyl, too...

Waiting is too easy.

I'm old school.

No leaks or downloads for me.

It feels right at the moment, because of each circumstance and change in personal lifestyle.

Though, I do love your take pb!
