What always amazed me about Adam was his hunger for music and the ability to memorize every album he listened to.
The guy devoured music like no other. A walking encyclopedia he was!

He taught me so much about SCG in this thread:

I'm very grateful to have met someone like him on this forum.

I'm very proud of you boys and girls. You're being the internet at its best on this thread.

seconded, thirded, fourthed.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Genteel Death again.

i did though. that was very good.

All has been said, pretty much. And I'm not much of a master with the words, hence I'll just say ASP was one the first personality on Sonic Youth Gossip whose posts got me hooked and, after a period of lurking, made me eventually actively join the board and start interacting with you guys. A hyperactive, creative, well-informed guy with a warm heart - that's how I'll remember you, Adam.

For those SYG-ers on Facebook, there's a brand new page there dedicated to Adam's life and work: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Psych...06424169607426

cinemageddon's tribute to him:



They also made him a VIP member which made me smile.

This is Kyle, Adam's band mate in Robe. Thought I should sign up, if not to just post on this thread. Thanks guys. I know Adam knew you all so well. He'd love the attention.

Thanks for the facebook link. This has moved me to tears:

Thanks

magnificent

This is from the new Adam C FB page - both very poignant and frequently hilarious: http://youtu.be/jyGvU4FViLw

Ahahaha I remember that video from years back. I'd always say "Fat muthafucking beat on the side of the street" out loud randomly.

That article is adorable. Ahhhh <3

What brilliance at such an early age - thanks hipster!

Cooley was just brilliant wasnt he

damn...

I can't help but think I missed out a little. We spoke here and there and exchanged PMs every once in a while but I feel like I wish the board wouldn't have fallen apart. We all kind of stopped coming here, maybe because we were sick of each other, but if there's something I've noticed about that "sick of someone" feeling it's that it only really presents itself in people and places you give a hefty shit about. It's nice to see everyone posting here again, if even for a little bit

fuck.

Reading that last paragraph was heartbreaking.....however, I'm glad he was able to create what he wanted.

Sometimes I think that natural intelligence is a curse. It's like being born with a nuclear weapon inside of your head.

Adam and I first met on the internet while speaking on MSN messenger about downloading on Audio Galaxy. We were internet friends long before we met in person yet at one time lived 3 blocks from each other. It still took us nearly a year and me moving 3 houses from him to get him to come over. When he did he barely left for over a year, haha. Adam was a character.

listening to this tonight. Feels fitting. Been ages since I've listened to it. I know Adam really liked it.

Does anyone know how to contact Dr. Eugene Felikson/Joe Perinelo? There are still people who need to be informed and he has disappeared from the internet it feels like. Sent a message to his film label's facebook page but no idea if he'll come across it.

Sonic Youth needs to come out with an SYR dedicated to atsonicpark yo.. seriously. Moshe, Chris Lawrence, LeeIsFree, make it happen, even if just releasing previously unreleased material

Definitely. Thurston was a fan of Adam's music and the rest of the band appreciated his contribution to this board.

@noiseredux does he still post on racketboy?

There's also his YouTube channel. Haven't see. Much activity on that.

I emailed him earlier today.

I had tried PM'ing him on RB days ago, but he hasn't logged in.

Ah, thanks for that. Tell me if he replies.

no problem. Joe has been one of my best buds on this forum since not long after he joined. Sadly, he hasn't been around here or RB much the past year or two. So we've lost touch mostly. We do the quarterly "hey dude thinking of you what's up" thing y'know? But yeah I immediately thought of him when this happened and wanted him to know. I'll keep you posted if I get in touch w/ him before any of you guys do. I don't have Facebook or Twitter or anything so you guys should keep trying that way.

I think if there was a Silver Session II for Adam Cooley ... I mean. He loved that record.

does jennthebenn know?

What's joe been up to? He's on and off Facebook sometimes and we'd chat on there....but I haven't heard from him in a Lon while...

I don't know. it's random. Last I heard from him he told me to go see You're Next in the theater, but I didn't. It's usually just something makes one of us think of the other and reach out. But I mean, I pm him thru RB so he might not see it for weeks/months. Last he told me he was pretty out of touch w/ SYG and RB - wasn't so into games as much lately. I do miss that guy though. He and I had a good bond for a while.

panto and nici posted just there so I'd assume so.

I saw that Panto posted. I feel like I knew that Panto & Jenn are somehow connected (Beyond just living in MD) ?

Are they not married or at least a couple?

B-but s-sonic y-youth weren't even in his t-top 50.

Man, you guys do not want to hear some of the things Adam said about Kim to me.

Actually, you do, because it's hilarious.

Is this on the same level as the ongoing Ned Hayden vs Thurston Moore handbags (currently coming to a Facebook post thread near you soon)?
