Not really. . . but there is this thing on Sonic Youth, Kim Gordon, and the demise of her marriage. I found myself reading it. . .

Kudos to Ms. Gordon for taking the high road, more or less.

Man, Thurston had an affair ?! That sucks. Booooo, Thurston! We expected better from you.

p.s. My RS friend Jon Dolan was name-checked in this article. He is described as "flinty". What does this mean exactly?

Perhaps older musicians have trouble distinguishing between "affairs" and "side projects?"

The Quietus piece is thoughtful and sensible, but a bit naive. One job of editors is to find the most compelling aspect of an article and use it to hook readers. Now in the twitter age, that may <I>become </i> the article to many readers, but that is the fault of millions, not one Elle editor.
