interesting quote, moshe!

this is probably not so interesting, but in the interest of not being a downer, i just realized that SY have actually been on virtually the same schedule for TWENTY years, since 'daydream' in '88. the goo material showed up in mid-late '89. goo came in summer '90. dirty material started to pop up in summer '91. dirty came out in summer '92. jet set material was half the set by the time summer '93 rolled around. jet set came out in early '94. now, the schedule becomes displaced by kim's pregnancy, i suppose. thurston made 'psychic hearts' in '94, toured a bit, and SY barely played. however, 'washing machine' material was premiered and recorded in early '95, they toured w/ REM, lollapalooza, and the album came out in september '95... new material (the SYR instrumentals + early 'leaves' stuff) didn't surface until early '97, but after a thousand leaves came out in early '98, they've maintained basically the same schedule as they had prior to washing machine. so, will there be new material in the fall live sets and a new album in spring '08? i guess only time will tell...
