Really-From: Jim Hofmann <hofmann@nrl-css.arpa> Oh darn Well, I've been wrong before but I just got finished listening to a taped interview w/ Sonic Youth and they claim to have come up with the "Youth" moniker before they ever heard of hardcore. Still, Thurston said the lead singer from Faith ( a d.c. hardcore group) was a prime influence in his later work. Also, he dug the spirit of the movement with band members circulating through the audience (and not sequestering themselves in dressing rooms w/ lines of coke) and the doggedness of making each song say something (As I said before). Oh well, guess I'm the "testestain" afterall. Anyone want a copy of this interview? It's being transcribed for the d.c. period, btw, so you can see it eventually. Jim Testestain...

Really-From: Greg Earle <earle@jplpub1.Jpl.Nasa.Gov> In my posting about the new Siouxsie LP, I let the `lyrics in my head' take over my brain when typing in the song title. The Kraftwerk song on Side 1 is really `The Hall Of Mirrors' [from Trans-Europe Express], not `Through The Looking Glass'. Many lyrical snatches go Even the brightest stars Live their lives|Look at themselves|etc. In The Looking Glass The Song In My Head interferes once again. Sorry for any confusion this might have caused ... Greg
