You realize you're still a SY fan when....
 

As a fan of a band/artist sometimes you can feel that your love is a bit "fading" (especially in case of a band with a loooooong carreer like SY), but something happens and you suddenly feel that your love for them has been restored to its full potential.
It happened with the sensational fix exhibition + gig + book for me.
So, now, I'd say:

You realize you're still a SY fan when...

- you keep hitting the "refresh button" on matador's "Buy Early Get Now" page every 10 minutes.

- Thurston won't stop slapping your ass

- You notice you wear a SY t-shirt practically everyday.

- You will buy the new SY record, not because you know it will be good, but because it's A NEW SONIC YOUTH RECORD!

guilty

I hope it's not the same one. (Actually, I hope it is: that'd be hardcore.)

I wear my "angry, really angry" brown SY tshirt 2-3 times a week, after work.

I have a rotation of my Evol, Washing Machine, Rather Ripped, "take a sip of SY", and the one remaining of the website iron-on shirts.

When you live in a 10-story building that is shaped like Thurston Moore, complete with guitar, and your garage looks like his amp.

You' carved suk for honesty on your chest.

Every time you log onto any website connected with downloading music the first three words you type in it's search engine are "Sonic Youth live".

Suk for Honesty
 

good one...

Yr brain begins to naturally replace the word your with yr.

... you actually post on the "Sonic Youth" portion of the Sonic Youth message board.

I'm guilty of that.

On topic with the TC's post, A few year's ago I hadn't listened to SY in a while. They were still my fave band but that wasn't going to last. I saw them at Coachella and I remembered why I loved them so much. Kim also became my new fav SY member that night.

People give you their old Dirty t-shirts and copies of TV Shit.

- You start to think that "The Eternal" isn't a bad name at all for an album

When you belong to the Sonic Youth Message Board, Sonic Youth Flickr Group, Sonic Youth email list, Sonic Youth My Space Group, and have Sonic Youth in your top My Space friends...

Oh wait, maybe that's just when you realize you're a pathetic geek who spends way too much time online.

-When you go on a MILF hunt after you and your friend dub it 'MILF Week' (nothing but MILFs all week), come across a personal ad posted by a MILF that reminds you of Kim Gordon, and then make it your personal mission to go out with and sleep with said MILF... AND... AND... because of the burnin' Youth love in your heart and intense commitment, your advances towards said MILF look like (as of right now) they will result with a very positive outcome.

you start humming along to the hoover

Carved suk for honesty on your chest.

painted a zero on your hand

When you hear a word (eg. Beauty) and start singing Beauty Lies In The Eye.

...You can whistle along to every dissonant fucking note of their entire catalog.

you get turned on only thinking of have the chance to see sonic youth live
(that's what's happening to me right now)

- you start thinking about SY tattoos

when you think "dirty" is just a shitty sonic youth record, but a good record when compared to other bands.

there's a knife in you kitchen

chop chop

you're trying to figure out how to build cheap 100x140 cms frames.

you learn to like SYR5.

You post in this thread pretending you're contributing something funny!



BAM

Vulva is the moebius strip of Sonic Youth fans.

I have no idea how to take that, but I think you're coming on to me. If so, I'm flattered.

you automatically fall in love with any girl/woman wearing a sonic youth T-shirt.
