There is not much to report on this subject, seeing as the future is and will remain a giant speculative grey area until [...]

How about the year three of music's most iconic outfits - The White Stripes, R.E.M., and LCD Soundsystem - all decided to call it quits?

After issuing a joint statement announcing an end to their 27-year marriage via their record company, Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon essentially gave Sonic Youth an expiration date (because being in a band with your ex probably wouldn't pan out too well). It's hard to imagine a world without Sonic Youth. The band has been around longer than I've been aware of music. Good music, anyway. Even though Sonic Youth isn't one of the immediate bands on the tip of my tongue if you ask me some of my all-time favorites, there is no doubt it ranks very [...]
