NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEW YORK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOO WAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[classof77]

Bassline sounds like earliest dark blue morning; it still might be night.

[SuedeSwede]

I never realized that James Woods was an musician in addition to an actor

[crornel]

oh, andy warhol makes music too?

[xmalx22]

NO WAVE LIVES ON! NO NEW YORK!

[Jewclops]

Cool.

[Merzbowxnoise]

Arto "fucking" Lindsay

[ReturnToAus]

What song of Sonic Youth's sounds like this?

[ChrisTheContagion]

@ReturnToAus

Well uh, they did a cover of Blonde Redhead itself. But anything off the first two-three records sits pretty comfortably in the No-Wave territory.

I used to see this band over at Tier 3 and CBGBs back in the days. Usually they'd come on the stage around 3 a.m. for the die-hards to dig. This is a form of punk jazz, a mostly undeveloped genre. The bands who were doing this kind of music wanted to do something really different, but, had to abandon their projects because the material was so unrelentingly non-commercial. They were virtually starving to death, and wanted to make records that would help pay the rent and buy groceries.

I disagree with it being the best song ever, but it's one of the stranger...

[sqwuade]

Love this No-Wave stuff.

[Blackninja188]

This kind of music is beyond a genre, it's fantastic!

[DavidtheAnimalMan]

love this music. i usually listen to punk and ska but no wav is practiclly the same. love this music

[annefrankisaho]

@DavidtheAnimalMan

Worst comment.

[duhhg80]

@annefrankisaho your a fucking idiot

[justanotherZOE]

blonde redheaddddddd

[lifepod2036]

this song is horrible and funky at the same time... The guy with the glasses looks like that Bernhard Goetz subway shooter. its his twin >,<

[111noir2000]

@lifepod2036 his name is Arto Lindsay and the chunks in his vomit have more artistic appeal thank your obvious, lame-ass comments.

[punkrocumentary]

The music sounds like a three-way struggle between the ego, id, and superego. Disconcerting in the BEST possible way. love it

[mostenmolsen]

terrifying. but funky!

[classof77]

What's awesome is that this is like DNA's "pop hit"! That gorgeous, ominous/hopeful, and very clear bass line makes this the most conventionally accessible thing they ever did. Which is not very accessible at all.

Me, I freaking love it.

[nauravapaska]

most of people hate this because arto didn't (or doesn't?) use guitar like it "should" be used. i find dnas guitars more like rhytmic instruments, as bass makes the melodies

[cubanzombie]

i personally feel that this was the guerilla avant garde music

in the late 70's and 80's, made just because the shit on the radio

at that time didnt cut it, and you know what. as its called NO WAVE, it has balls

and some mighty big ones.

[andrewcramer13]

never knew stephen hawking was in a band

[Kento617]

@andrewcramer13 haha nice!

[circleonejunkie]

@andrewcramer13

lmfao we would be friends i can tell....

[andrewcramer13]

@circleonejunkie we are friends :)

[Arkhigoul]

*mumbles something profound*

[archetype616]

DNA is sorta what sonic youth copped and never was

[markmaloof]

One of the best bands of the No Wave movement, but just the start of Arto and Ikue Mori's long music careers (and Tim Wright came from Pere Ubu, another fantastic band from that time period.)

[listentohella]

why would you not allow me to embed this?

[jasonbigelow]

another criminally under-rated guitarist. Arto blows anyone else away,with an incredibly origianl and idiosyncratic playing style,that MANY people have ripped off

[TheTetrarch]

Fierce.

[malditeloki1]

best song ever if you disagre you are WRONG

[chainyrabbit]

I agree

[jojorulesguigui]

@malditeloki1 If disagreeing with this song being the best ever makes me wrong, I don't want to be right.

[veriplasmanaytto]

Sounds like spiders walking up and down on the guitar.

[ineffableretort]

Arto kind of looks like Steve Buschemi in that picture. Great song.

[Lateralus281]

The crunching and churning of the guitar! :D

DNA <3

[Ruben74]

AMAZING. without them. . .

[kiokio21]
