sweet...fuck the haters; this show is going to be the tits

Rocky Napoli wonders,aside from the fact that the coffee is too expensive and you have to call it by Italian names (no problem for Rocky actually), why the so called lefties hate Starbucks so much? Rocky Napoli would like to point out that very few other coffee houses pay the type of wages and offer the benefits that Starbucks does. So Rock Napoli wonders why people hate Starbucks so much. Rocki Napoli wonders is Starbucks is a red herring for some other issues? Rocky Napoli just doesn't understand it.

rocky is a creep

this non-rocky wonders why the fuck he keeps posting here when he doesn't speak in the correct person. bitch!

Any word yet on who the special guest is?

^^^^^ dan deacon and the dead body that was found at mccaren pools shed.

starbucks = public restroom

>starbucks = public restroom

Rocky Napoli = new dead body in park

Sticks and stones.

Dan Deacon is a fat, fat man.

Rickey don't know why people hatin' on Rocky. Rocky talks like Rickey, and Rickey thinks we should show Rickey and Rocky some respect.

i think everyone's over the whole sonic youth/starbucks connection issue. sonic youth have this in common with willie nelson: no matter how much they "sell out" from here on in, they've already made so much great music, it just doesn't matter.

also, rocky and ricky have no fucking idea how annoying that shtick is.

I love Thurston, but when he talks about "subversive" he sounds like Michael Kors saying "it's very biker chick"

i love you pretty-boy hipsters.

go on tour for 7 years straight and eat cheap crappy food...not the billyburg salad bar special...away from your precious fixed-gear rides...see if you can still fit into your $200 lady-size 2 vintage jeans.

what do you think?

im surprised those original ray bans fit around any of your giant heads, fucking dicks.

You got somethin' to say to Rickey, you say it to Rickey's face!

How the fuck is that "subversive really"?

Get back in your coffin, Deluise!

I love Thurston, but when he talks about "subversive" he sounds like Michael Kors saying "it's very biker chick"

thank god people like Dom Deluise are posting here. you fucking billyburg little shits. thurston moore is part of the whole reason this site even exists assmunch. and i don't mean he is directly involved, open your little mind for a second and think about it. sonic youth is so much a part of what "indie" (as much of a joke as that term is today) is today. whether it's grizzly bear on letterman or pissing your pants over the fact that even bands who can't play these days become popular (i'm looking at you v girls), sy opened doors big time. not just for taking bands like nirvana and the boredoms on tour (god i miss how new bands used to play instruments, but i digress). anyway, if you don't like the band, fine, you and yours have the right to those thoughts. but seriously, you're a fucking idiot if you don't understand how that influential that band has been on the music that many of us reading this site listen to on a regular basis.

who cares

If you have a problem with Starbucks, don't shop there and don't buy the Sonic Youth CD. Hit 'em where it counts--in the pocketbook.

Oh wait, lefties don't believe in capitalism and the free market....

"yuppie wearing white headphones" > thurston moore

BUTTER

NUT

SQUASH!

I have a problem with Starbucks. I don't shop there and I won't buy what they're selling. But I would never think to voice my opposition to their practices in any public forum. That would goddamn Unamerican.

I got a latte block inside my head

I hear the only Starbucks selling the Sonic Youth CD are the ones that are closing.

Now THAT’S punk.

thanks anon 3:55. i've never liked sonic youth before but now that you indirectly called me a "fucking idiot" i think they're the greatest band ever. i never realized how easy it is to solve problems by bullying other people. i guess the problem is you might break your mac book air. "assmunch" indeed.

dear 4:18,

awww, see, sometimes reality goes beyond opening mom and dad's check each month they send and spending it at beacon's closet.

3:55 is right, though, Vivian Girls are probably the worst band that ever played a show.

Rocky, Ricky, I'll be waiting for both of you at McCarren...dildo in hand, and you'll love it.

4:23

i have no idea what that even means.

Rickey is too cool for McCarren but knows you would have a dildo in hand whether waiting for Rickey or not. Rickey don't play that shit. Rickey don't want to be part of you reliving your frat initiation.

While you dream of Rickey outside your condo Rickey will be hanging in Bushwick Inlet Park, near where Rickey lives. Rickey is way cooler than the hipsters that Rickey hates. Rickey is already 7 years ahead of you all. Rickey's hood is the next next gritty artist ghetto. Rickey doesn't need an in-condo washer/dryer.

Rickey knows you, and Rickey laughs at you.

damn Rickey is kinda dope!

Rickey/Obama 08!

Just kidding, Ricky does in fact love dildo and Rickey will be there, assuming the position :)

sad, sad, sad.

cuz it's gettin kinda quiet in my city head it takes a venti mocha frap to get me outta bed right now....

That yuppie with headphones is listening to Nurse With Wound in that shot.

more rickey!

rickey whats your take on santos party house?

Rickey does not appreciate the Rickey impersonator above (Rickey means you, Rickey 4:41).

Rickey could go on and on about Santos' Party House but Rickey's work day is over now so Rickey will soon be on Rickey's way back to Rickey's hood for the night.

Rickey will be back tomorrow with more of Rickey's treasures. Try not to miss Rickey too much (Rickey knows you will).

Starbucks has been attempting to prevent its employees from forming a union. Yeah, not the most pressing issue facing the world today, but it still sucks.

http://www.iww.org/

just kidding! i'm a fake everyone. see you in billyburg '09!

shut up fool! rickey henderson is the only real rickey henderson! besides, red hook is where it's at in '09!

rickey is a fake. rickey knows it. time for rickey to go back to billyburg. rickey says "sigh".

46th BITCHES!

Rickey Henderson : Sonic Youth = Tim Raines : Pussy Galore

I wanna know what goose gossage has to say about all this.

What are we going to do when they close those 600 Public Restrooms?

I have yet to see one of the pay toilets...wait. Didn't they close them all already?

"While you dream of Rickey outside your condo Rickey will be hanging in Bushwick Inlet Park, near where Rickey lives. Rickey is way cooler than the hipsters that Rickey hates. Rickey is already 7 years ahead of you all. Rickey's hood is the next next gritty artist ghetto. Rickey doesn't need an in-condo washer/dryer."

I think there is some confusion still going around about Bushwick Inlet Park. It's not in Bushwick. It straddles Greenpoint and Williamsburg on the East River, exactly where hipsters already live, which in fact have condos that have washer/dryers. For more info on Bushwick Inlet, consult google and look at a map.

Anyway, wtf? Why does every conversation here devolve into a hipster-Williamsburg issue? Isn't this post about Thurston Moore selling out so hard that it's somehow subversive? He's gone post-modern, meta-capitalist on us. Don't fucking Jeff Koons me, Thurston! Your music is good, but not so good that I can't smell bullshit.

starbucks-a multi-BILLION dollar corporation. is starbucks coming to williamsburg to piss of all the hipsters in '09? can i have my $5 latte please?

Rocky Napoli is upset to learn that Starbucks is trying to prevent its employees from unionizing. Rocky does not support this. Far from it. Rocky Napoli actually changes his opinion and detests Sonic Youth for doing anything for this union bashing piece of crap company.

"I know a lot of people apply a lot of issues to Starbucks and say they have some kind of nefarious business. I don't know anything about it; I'm sure there are some young radicals who can set me straight on that."

here you go thurston:

ha. the third poster said "tits".

I think that cover is the starbucks on Park Ave and 46 street.... sonic youth rule. as for coffee, i like the MUD truck.

I think you people need to SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Bottom line is this....SY is awesome and they want to make money for DOING THEIR JOB! Good for them!

It you think they are sell-outs, you should quit your job, go back to high school, listen to Bad Religion - Against the Grain, and harbor all of your angst to become the bitter little person you so aspire to be.

Sonic Youth = LEGEND

Dan Deacon = LOSER

Indie rock is a legitimate profession, people. Shame on anyone who thinks it is something more than a viable career path in these uncertain times.

Hey, Against the Grain is a good album. Don't hate on the punk rock.
