loomer Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Not very interesting, but was surprised to see this in an Uncut feature about Sonic Youth [After talking about U2 and Oasis] "Madonna is more like U2 - don't you think?" Kim Gordon asks. "Talk about Botox. When she sees the new Britney video - she might as well just pack it in. She's never going to be sexy like that again."

funkydita Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Somewhat surprising, considering Ciccone Youth and all that. Also I don't think Madonna's ever been sexy like Britney, they're very different; Madonna's sexiness lies in power, it's an aggressive type of sexiness. Kim's essentially condemning herself and other, ahem, middle aged, women in denying M. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaddysMuff Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Jaded! Look where Madonna is and where they are! Has Been's poor guys! Uh, no. They're not has-beens. Not that they were ever a huge success, commercially-speaking. Frankly, if I wasn't such a big Madonna loon, I'd probably be saying the same thing.

Guest nothingfails0603 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Why should Madonna hang it up because she's never going to reek of the same sex appeal she once did? That's what I don't understand, if she's not sexy, why bother? There was once a time where women all over the world would throw their panties at Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger, yet people didn't start telling them it was time to hang it up because they no longer inspire young girls to camp outside their houses and throw eggs at their wives.

loomer Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 They were asked about Madonna by the interviewer after they slagged off U2 and Oasis "Wonderwall is the worst song ever" Don't think they were really lashing out at her, but that's what the headline of the feature said. It had a bit about all their side projects and said that Ciccone Youth was them lampooning Madge, but I don't think it was, on the whole. They knew her pre-fame and she could easily have been part of their No Wave scene. I have the NME cover story on Madonna from 1986 which has a feature on Ciccone Youth with their "Into The Groovey" cover and they were really enthused about "Into The Groove", saying how it was a polished demo. They also liked Janet Jackson "she seems to have a weight problem though" Anyway, wasn't Kim Gordon one of the stars in that Q Cash For Questions thing last year, asking Madonna about how she juggles motherhood?

afrolito Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 It was a throwaway comment, but does speak to what A lot of people believe about Madonna, and every other "aging female sex symbol". It's particularly sad that such a silly comment comes from another woman, who should know better. If a man had said that, he would be labeled an ageist pig, and rightfully so, but as usual, women are often their own worst enemy. Maybe i'm over-analyzing though, since she must be joking (or crazy) if she thinks Britney Spears is sexy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG ROFLLMAO!!! I am not a fan of Sonic Youth's, I think they're pretentious and nothing but noise, but come the fuck on. This is Sonic Youth we're talking about, not Nickelback. Sonic Youth have never been about selling albums. It's like attacking someone who sticks to the world of indies for not having a $200 million blockbuster behind him.

Dindi Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I hardly call the comments "lashing out." So she subscribes to the philosophy of aging naturally/gracefully. Big deal. It's hardly a big diss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neutrocks Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I hardly call the comments "lashing out." So she subscribes to the philosophy of aging naturally/gracefully. Big deal. It's hardly a big diss. I think how it is stated, it seems a bit of a jab. But she may have not meant it that way, but what interests me is how she jumped from comparing Madonna to U2 and then in the next sentence states about Botox, Britney Spears and not being sexy like that anymore: "Madonna is more like U2 - don't you think?" Kim Gordon asks. "Talk about Botox. When she sees the new Britney video - she might as well just pack it in. She's never going to be sexy like that again." Maybe it was printed out of context? Maybe there was more leading up to what she said? If not, it just seems odd how she jumps from comparing Madonna to U2 and then makes a statement regarding her not being sexy??

MaddysMuff Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Americans Many Americans only care about commerciality. ^ While we're getting specific: Many Americans on pop star-oriented messageboards only care about "commerciality". The majority of Americans don't give a fuck about sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glittercandy Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 i notice most rock n roll, hard rock females hate madonna, just jealous madonna i think was a bigger sex symbol than britney when she first came out, especially when "like a virgin" video came out, every straight guy loved her.
