The Following are only RUMORS that have forwarded to me. Often rumors turn out to be only wishful thinking, but not always. Rumors in "quotes" are exactly what I was told.

(1) "Steve Malkmus could easily be resting on his laurels. Instead, the statuesque singer is participating in a Sonic Youth side project that includes bassist/vocalist Kim Gordon, guitarist/vocalist Thurston Moore, Chicago avant-garde veteran Jim O'Rourke, and renowned Japanese drummer Ikue Mori. The project, named Kim's Bedroom, will debut its sure-to-be interesting sounds in Eindhoven in the Netherlands on March 18. (Michelle Kleinsak) (2/28/99)
