it's out already and i have a copy. been out since somewhere last week, that's when the museum bookshop @ Haus der Kunst in Munich finally got it, and they're affiliated with the publisher. So fuckin great. Two seveninches,over 700 pages of mindblowing sonic goodness! a must-have. even if you've already seen the exhibition, since it doesn't depict the artwork from sensational fix but broadens the scope with a clear emphasis on text. ohmygod.

45s?
One site I read said it was a limited edition of 600.
So...whats on the 45s??? |
Kim's piece is called 'Song for reverse Karaoke', which is just her vocal; i didn't recognize any reference to an existing song as i was cooking curry when i first heard it this afternoon. on the flipside is lee's piece, which is a very enchanting demo of 'Rats' with acoustic guitars and reduced tempo. the other disc (clear vinyl, the other's black) consists of Thurston's 'Aerosol' which consists of noise (white...not technically i guess, but well...the same noise going on for 3:10, like that noise track on 'trees outside the academy' but even more 'minimal'). on the other side is steve's piece called 'Ivan' which is a nice little lofi-impromptu or whatever which made me put on SYR#2 right after it ended and it was in good company. great stuff, all four!

oh my god, I need this!
|
right you are. i dunno about the limitation of 600 copies though. there's no mention in the book or on the website of the publisher and it sounds strange for such a big exhibition to have only 600 official catalogues...i hopefully will know in about an hour when my brother drops by for dinner (he works at that store i mentioned and has been in contact with the publisher about that book several times.
|
i got the idea of it being limited from here....
http://arkitipintel.com/2009/01/13/sonic-youth This also has a link to it being up for order now from overseas... of course the amazon link is about $30 cheaper... |
how much did it cost in munich? i'm considering picking one up in düsseldorf if it will still be there in april...
|
since i got it as a christmas present (it should have come out in november...) i got it for free, but the publisher and bookshop-chain Walther König list it at €58, which isn't too much in artbook money considering what you get.
|
wow. so where the....should I get it?
|
thats what i is thinking too, it's $53.55 USD on amazon.com and £51.37 on amazon.co.uk
|
I think I've ordered it from the publisher. I say think because the website is in German and I've been spending a lot of time Google translating and just... hoping.
|
it really looks incredible.
|
£52 in the UK!
I don't know if I have a coffee table big enough. |
I dnt know that I have an extra 50 bucks to plop down right now. I wish I knew how limited it was, one way or the other.
|
awesome, i want one.
