Sonic Youth on film doesn't come across so well, does it?

If you ignore the 'kitten' lyric - which is an Alice in Wonderland reference anyway, so I let it off - the lyrics are good. The note Kim sings on the "and..." is haunting, and there's all that great mechanical clunking in the background. It's a good track.

describe the touch, no it's the thought
it's warm and yellow and has a ruffle
it's warm and yellow and...
he's so quiet i forgot he's there
and i think here i am.
oh alice, come back he's just a kitten...
he's just a kitten
a thousand leaves for your disguise fall on
the sky and looking up from down is a sea to
realize the leaves are falling up and down
up and round.
and this is from my heart to you
a crazy wind will stir me too and contre de la
sexisme
i am with you.

The Video for "Sunday" is fucking great.

Is it just the voice on "Contre le Sexisme" that people hate? Because I could see that being a problem but the music's actually pretty cool (going by memory), kind of hearkening back to their earlier 'early industrial'-influenced sound.

Vocals are usually 80% of the problem with any SY song.

Wait. Ninety.

bullshit. i wouldn't count any of them among my favorite singers or lyricists but what they do is a big part of the band's overall charm.

eh...not for me (of course this is IF I have a problem with an SY song, there are songs I just like without qualm).

well, now that you put it that way, yeah, i kind of agree.
