I like "Karen Revisited" first and foremeost--love that line something about "the sheets went up like gasoline" or whatever; I also like the lengthy improvisation towards the end--whatever concert it was culled from. And "Karen Revisited" was the better title, considering that 4 years earlier A Thousand Leaves had "Karen Kolrane"; "Karenology" just sounds like an overstatement or something.

Second best would probably be "Rain On Tin"--great jamming number.

Oh! by the way, the Japanese/European bonus track some of you have been referring to is "Street Sauce", which, I believe, is a segment from a longer number on the Pola X or Demonlover soundtrack--I'm not quite sure at the moment, I get these things confused, there being so much non-mainstream material out there in there repertoire...

Karen Revisited.

Arguably the last great song (SYR aside) Sonic Youth have recorded.

fluxequalsrad 04.20.2007 12:27 PM

No love for empty page eh... Yeah I agree with Karen Revisited though.

I don't get it. You ask us what's our favorite song "off" Murray Street, but all of the choices are songs on Murray Street. Which is it? ;)

k-krack 04.20.2007 02:31 PM

Radults has moved into my number one (taken away from Karenology).

I don't get what the deal with Pastic Sun is... it is such a fucking rad song.

Sympathy.

Derek 04.21.2007 01:56 PM

Karenology.

Chaffie 04.22.2007 11:31 PM

Karenology.

With Rain on Tin close behind. Both of those songs are flawless. The album is too.

LDopa 04.22.2007 11:33 PM

Rain on Tin.

nicfit 04.23.2007 06:27 AM

I voted rain on tin.

pbradley 04.23.2007 07:48 AM

Hm, I don't know. Murray Street always comes across as tedious to me. I have to be in the right mood and even still Rain on Tin loses my interest after a while. Karen Revisited is pobably my favorite just because the first three minutes is beautiful. Communication Notice comes in second, fucking cool ass riff right off.

Rain on Tin.
