wow. im really digging the subtle awkwardness of this video, thats a first, great job sy. think ill go play gh now and abbreviate like mad :) im only sorry i jumped in on jet set and didnt become a fan earlier .. also yes, kims most def. a goddess.
im not against sonic youth, believe me, but i have to say that your comment about it being for intelligent people is something someone really egocentric or very snob would say( i wanted so say dickhead, but i didn't want to bring violence into this)... and it doesn't go with the philosophy, or no philosophy, as you like it...
this must be recent cause i never heard this song before. i love it cause it sounds like they went in a different direction. wait! i take that back. sonic youth has always sounded like an indie band and they have not change for no one. i grew up listening to sister, evol, bad moon rising, goo, and so on, but i really love this song.
Ok Captainhmorgan whats your problem? Who did ever force you to listen to this? I love this music and still do not feel special about it so whats the matter? I listen to The Velvet Underground and Iggy and the Stooges too. And what am I now? Some kind of semi-looser because i also listen to Sonic Youth too? And by the way i dont consider myself as Punk, alternative indipendant or whatever i just like this music and think there`s nothing special about liking it. What i`m saying is: Suck my Balls.
If youre looking for the sound thats " doing something exciting and new" I reccomend you check out their older stuff like for example the album Bad Moon Rising. Search Gila Monster Jamboree and youll find some great old SY videos on here.
Of course Renaldo was amazing too! I just mean that Thurston was without a doubt more of the catalyst for SY's pioneering sound. He was taking apart and rebuilding his guitars with crazy switches and using weird things to pick with , alternate tunings etc and was really one of the first, if not THE first to do soo in rock music.
Anyone who doesn't see why Sonic Youth are soo highly regarded will never get it. Thurston Moore took the electric guitar to a new level the same way (if not moreso) than Hendrix did. Tom Morello and the like all are riding Thurston's coat tails. The only other person who was as innovative was Kevin Shields IMO. "Daydream Nation" and "Dirty" are my faves by S. Youth.
Kim Gordon??? Surely you jest! She rocks and she has an AWESOME voice. You probably don't think much of Bob Dylan or Mick Jagger or Janis Joplin either.
ok you probably shouldnt compare this woman to janis joplin because she comes nowhere near. she is good but all of those people are legends, and bob dylan is more known for his poetry than his voice
First, with all due respect to Janis, I'd put Kim slightly AHEAD of her as a vocalist and artist, and I think that history will put them on comparable levels. But I'm not going to try to win THAT debate. All I was suggesting is that there are great vocalists that would not be considered all that good in a technical sense. And I DO think Bob Dylan has a great voice and is largely considered distinctive for his voice.
ok i didn't think juno was saying the sonic youth sucked i think it was just expressing that juno was so angry at him that she wanted to say that. i think juno is a great movie and probably exposed a lot more people to this band who didn't know about them before.
i agree, this is one of my favorite SY albums. it was a very interesting change in pace for them, and this is also one of my favorite songs off the album
It's incredible how a bunch of 50 year olds does so much inspiring and visionary art whilst so many 20 year olds does commercial shit for the sake of making more and more money. I guess it's a matter of priorities but still, after SY's leaving the stage for long time there will be no one to take it over.
