Thurston Moore announces tour to fulfill promise of tours, ton more. Oh lord.

Thurston Moore announces tour to fulfill promise of tours, ton more. Oh lord.

Just look at that headline. Look at it and let it sink in. Then spit at me, for I deserve it. But, hey, I did this to myself. My brain produced that pun and I didn’t stop my fingers from typing it. Here we are, so let’s get through it. The Matablog, in all its wisdom, reports that Sonic Youth frontfellow Thurston Moore is taking his Demolished Thoughts Ensemble with him on tour this winter. Smart money says they will be playing songs from Moore’s recent Demolished Thoughts record (TMT Review). Probably because they’re called the Demolished Thoughts Ensemble. Even my decrepit, pun-addled brain can figure that one out.

For a pair of dates, fellow Matador signee Kurt Vile will be opening up, an experience which should be like looking through a time portal for Vile. By the way, Sonic Youth’s fate still appears to be uncertain. That particular bit of non-news still makes me want to barf, just like my own dumb puns make me want to barf.
