the first time i listened to them, it was far from orgasmic.

the first time i listened to sy that was orgasmic was probably the 20th one, not that that's the last time it happened.

Same deal here really.. except I haven't been listening to showtunes, just the terrifically appealing retarded emotion that is "Letting off the Happiness". There's not even one single SY song on my iPod anymore! Sacrilege!

I listened to the SY eponymous EP last night though, so I was cleansed by an assault of holy noise.

Good to have a new fan here. :D

The last two times I've mentioned Sonic Youth to people I don't know (and who don't know Sonic Youth) they asked me if I had seen Juno.

...still waiting for a Juno-inspired wave of new members...

Now I'll check if there are "Juno '44" songs in the soudtrack ahah.

oh god that is so true. i miss falling in love with SY. that was the best experience

hahahahha!!!! I LAUGH AT THIS!!!!!


I dig the stooges man, but the animals were nearly as rockin garage style! the stooges just happened to have IGGY

without IGGY the stooges would have been a fucking forgetable garage rock band

there, I said it.

I'm very happy for you, Chalk! (Can I call you Chalk for short?) I remember very clearly how exciting it was to discover this band. Welcome to the board!

(And don't go slacking off on yr algebra!)

Rob Instigator I like your sig! :D

After listening to Goo and Experimental Jet Set 50 times I'm going to buy Sister tonight...

And Chalk is totally cool for a name!

Welcome

Yeah, Sister is a Good choice, it' s my favourite. I envy you.
You lucky !
You should buy EVOL, Daydream Nation next. And Bad Moon Rising. And Confusion is Sex. And Goo. And...
Welcome on this board.:)

Ha :D

What I have so far:

Experimental Jet Set, Trash, and No Star
Goo
Washing Machine
Rather Ripped
Sonic Nurse
Daydream Nation

So I'm going to buy Sister, and I have money for another - what should it be?

if you're ready for the crazy shit, confusion is sex

I don't know if I can handle that yet...

haha i actualy started with confusion is sex and bad moon rising. that's what really turned me on. go for it man, i dare you.

Okay so I'm going to buy Sister for sure, and I might do Confusion is Sex since you dared me. HOWEVER. I'm feelin' EVOL...so I'm going for all three!

I am going to be so broke :(

HELP!

I can only afford Sister and one other album. I'm torn between Confusion is Sex and EVOL, I'm leaning toward Confusion is Sex but I need help please!!

EVOL has Tom Violence and Expressway To Yr Skull, so I'd go with that.

It took me ages to get into Sonic Youth, Teen Age Riot was the only song I liked. But then I heard Candle, and now SY is one of my favourites.

Bright Eyes, Showtunes. Same diff. And by same diff I mean that is all I listen to. And Old Springs Pike, but that's showtunes indirectly.

Unfortunately, the movie links Sonic Youth with the creepy Jason Bateman character who can't grow up and commit and is attracted to the 16-year-old prego. This can hardly be good p.r. for Sonic Youth.

Fact, I squirmed a little because of this, knowing how much my wife and kids think it's "weird" I like Sonic Youth at my age (I've ALWAYS liked them, is the thing. Just because I liked them when I was 35 doesn't mean I have to stop liking them when I'm 50. I freaking went through my 30- and 40-somethings with them.)

you are me when i was 12. and i mean to a fucking tee.
(ps that is not an insult)
