The guitar would also probably be easier on Kim.

There is some kind of talking about a sonic youth#7 or something in the sensational fix book. and there ibold is a member of the band. but i'll look it up later for sure.

ibold is listed as a current band member on wikipedia. but then again, it's wikipedia.

im surprised that at kim's age, she's still holding down the bass

I'm really not bothered at all. Mark was the bass player of one of my favorite bands and now he plays occasional bass with my favourite band. These days i'm watching some DVD live shows from Nurse and RR tours and it really doesn't bother to have JIm or Mark on stage . Kim is more free to do whatever she wants. There's this show where she teases the audience on Kool thing which is really nice. Jim playing P-funk bass to that is really interesting; and so forth...
and I think i kind of agree to the Kim playing third guitar thing. It adds a lot of atmosphere on ATL and some Nurse tracks although she mainly strums randomly on open chords....
there.

there isn't much bass to be heard on the 7inch.... but he might be credited as one of the tracks is from a recent rehearsal...

You misunterstood me. There is some kind of overview about the former band members. And I guess there is said that the current members are ThurstonKimLeeSteve + Ibold.

I'll look it up later. :)

oh yeah sure

hope you§re being sarcastic. he ruled big time.

this is exactly what I meant.

I imagine that the band has collaborated with Mark Ibold in some capacity on the new record since he is now a fully integrated member of the band

Funny how "shit" and "the shit" have opposite meanings! English is truly a messed up language.

i like ripping off my pubes and pretending they're nose hair, too!

yeah, I thought the same!

well i see everyone's point but

1) the glove pictured is clearly NOT a way to help with tendinitis
2) Jim was an official member - therefore it all made MORE sense IMHO

Jim was a great addition to the line up and the live situations really benefitted a lot from his playing... Mark only played bass last time around, I wish he could screw up around with noise more.

I'm not questioning the way they're doing things, it's just that seeing them onstage with the 4-core-members-line up really made my day and nothing could beat the way they sounded AND looked... you know what I mean.

I'm sure Mark is a great guy nonetheless and I really don't wanna be disrespectful. It's more of a ...aesthethic kinda thing at this point for me.
But if he's really gonna be with them from now onwards they should make him appear in the line up credits on the new CD.
I think.
