@BOB: Malls hit Europe in a big(er) way around when she left and most people still don't really go to them. Its part of that American suburban sprawl imagery so she wanted to check it out. She expected it to be bad but we all had this image that it would be kinda fun. It just wasn't the same without the deeper Jersey experience of getting stuck in traffic on Route 4 and then experiencing the wonders of a massive mall parking garage hehe.

Also, a mall that is indeed kinda fun is Water Tower Place in Chicgao. everything is transparent - the floors outside of stores, the elevator. I say kinda because while I was admiring the architecture, I also have a ridiculous fear of heights.

My friends and I were actually just last night complaining about how Sonic Youth has usurped so many things. Not their fault or a legit complaint against them, but since they are pretty mainstream, a lot of their sounds are attributed to being quite unique to them, when in face, wise WFMU listeners like us, know they are not.

SY were just a bit past early adopters. They seemed to be good popularizers. If you look at Thurston interviews (as he was the trendiest of them), they broke Phillip K Dick to a lot hipsters in '87, free jazz in the early 90s, etc.

it is like "KILG-hour", but it's hard to make that sound more correct than "kill-gore" unless you feign an accent.

I always said "Kil-gore", but Sir Richard said "Kil-gower" when he introduced Hamish, so I'm switching.
