Murray Street warming my heart this Sunday. "Sympathy for the Strawberry" is so good.

Thurston in studio on BBC6 right now, talking with Steve Lamacq and playing SY stuff.

Anyone ever heard the Sonic Youth folk do an admiration for Hawkwind. Rolling through the pines of Virginia jamming both Goo and Doremi Fasol Latido, I seemed to notice how similar the stoned gallop of "Lord of Light" is to many Sonic Youth numbers. It was more the groove and the drone than anything.

A obscure place to tell us about it...
btw, there ws an interview with "Lost Voice Man" on the news last night, behind him was a wall of albums in frames. I saw Thriller, Unknown Pleasures, 1977 (Ash), and Sonic Youth's Goo.
So, hey.

speaking of the SY bandcamp, there are several live shows on there - anyone got a recommendation for a standout among them?

If you could re-sequence/revise the track list for one Sonic Youth album, what would it be and how would you change it?
I’m going with Washing Machine, an album that’s near to perfect but slightly half-hearted about its desire to be psychedelic.
Here’s what I’d do:- cut “Junkie’s Promise”- cut “Panty Lies”- merge “Becuz” and “Becuz Coda” into a single song- would I cut “Skip Tracer”? Maybe- replace the 19:35 version of “Diamond Sea” with the ~25 minute long version from the CD5 - Bliss out

Skip Tracer is the second best track!
― a hallan shaker loon (dowd), Sunday, 12 December 2021 18:33 (two years ago) link
I would skip tracer tooI’m more of a Lee fan in concept than in reality
― calstars, Sunday, 12 December 2021 18:44 (two years ago) link
"Skip Tracer" is solid! Lyrics are kind of mean tho, SY don't really have room to be making fun of other bands' lyrics.
the title track is so amazing though, the middle section, particularly when they start playing that harmonics/feedback riff, is the ideal of what I listen to them for.
― JoeStork, Sunday, 12 December 2021 19:16 (two years ago) link
A super sounding riff one might say

100% cosign, a real highlight of their work

this article was pretty good, imo, but the cbgb bootleg embedded within is outstanding, with some blistering versions of daydream nation tracks: https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/sonic-youth-and-the-business-of-keeping-a-dead-band-alive/

This was just posted by Roxy Cinema in NYC but not widely announced - they're screening The Velvet Suite with a Q&A afterwards with Lee Ranaldo and filmmaker Ignacio Julia moderated by Thurston Moore:
