What would make Sonic Youth better? According to Thurston Moore, breaking up more than a decade ago. Stereogum picks up on an interview in which Moore claims the band's "biggest career faux-pas" was not breaking up, then maybe reuniting later. Depending on context, this can make him sound a little greedy; it's hard to tell whether he's just speculating from a distance. Had Sonic Youth had a proper reunion tour, he says, "You'd be interviewing me at the Chateau Marmont as I'm waiting for my limousine." Frankly, it's better that they stayed a little hungry.
