12) dripping dream [hey ethiopia we're free]

I didn't choose my favorite songs, just songs that seem like they would work.

you know, if we all didn't pick nearly the same lists, there would be a bunch of bad ass sonic mix tapes here, but alas, instead there is really just ONE!

I would personally recommend going to painstaking lengths to procure every Sonic Youth release on vinyl and frisbee the CD-R's into the garbage

from Sonic Youth EP, I'm counting as a studio album becuz it's too fucking great:
I Dreamed I Dream. The atmosphere turns me on, the lyrics express my overall mood, I go through a trance. This is my favorite Sonic record.

from Confusion is Sex:
Kill Yr. Idols. Fucked up and Sonic manifesto.

from Bad Moon Rising:
Death Valley 69'. This is the best Lydia Lunch collabo, the video is excelent, the lyrics is all there is to say about the massacre.

from Evol:
I can't pick just one, but it is Shadow of a Doubt. Kim's sighs .

from Sister:
Schizophrenia. All about.

from Daydream Nation.
Teenage Riot. It's the first Sonic song I ever heard.

from Goo:
Mote. Did you know "Mote" is a synonym for Coke where I live? It's also a kind of sticky oat grain. I like the video.

from Dirty:
100%. Party starts.

from Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star:
Bull in The Heather. Kim.

from Washing Machine:
The Diamond Sea. It never ends.

from A Thousand Leaves:
Sunday. I listen to it every sunday.

from NYC Ghosts & Flowers:
NYC Ghost & Flowers. Selftitled.

from Murray Street:
Karen Revisited. I know many Karens, I am one too.

from Sonic Nurse:
Stones.

from Rather Ripped:
Lights Out. I like Thurston's lower key in this one. The noise to melody transition is evident, Sonic Youth has softened.

I always forget about Lights Out. I think it's a great song, one of the bests on Rather Ripped.
