thx a bunch to the kind people who helped me get this song.
it's always nice but still i'm kind of annoyed to always hear the same chord progression in all the new songs. Ludicrous.
Anyways it does sound like an outtake and i hope it's not a track we'll find on the next record or else we're in for a new disappointment, i'm telling ya.
Change tunings. Do something!
Kim Vox sounds awkward. "I want to sound like Grizzly Bear"

very meh

Hey, anyone able to PM me a link, pretty please?

Never mind, I'm lazy and didn't see the other thread.

xxlouiisxx 06.14.2008 12:42 PM

I want this song too :O Please PM me !

pbradley 06.14.2008 01:55 PM

Talk about anti-climatic with this song. Just kind of another SY floaty jam thing but with Kim's vocals way quiet with some effect?

Toxa 06.14.2008 02:42 PM

Am I the one who think that this song is very boring?

bubblegum 06.14.2008 05:25 PM

Pell Mell!!

Ripchord 06.15.2008 08:08 AM

This song is god awful.

toxic johnny 06.15.2008 08:16 AM

I was actually really worried before I heard it because of a few comments on here... now that I've finally heard it I am relieved. I love the freeform atmosphere.... it is a little reminiscent of the A Thousand Leaves era to these ears, which is fine by me. Also I love Kim's vocal and the overall production.

Moshe 06.15.2008 08:25 AM

sound like a trees outside of the academy outtake. :(

NWRA 06.15.2008 08:26 AM

I'm not that keen on the song but I like the idea of it: low vocals, twinkly guitars, A Thousand Leaves-type atmohsphere.

I'd rather an album in this vein than another Rather Ripped (which I liked) - the songs would need stronger melodies though (epecially if there are no vocal melodies) and to build-up to something. Slow Revolution just drifts by.

ruben 06.15.2008 08:42 AM

Pm needed here too

Danny Himself 06.15.2008 08:43 AM

The vocals are really far-out Beatlesy.. I really love this production!

xxlouiisxx 06.15.2008 09:18 AM

I really love that song :O

GrungeMonkey 06.15.2008 09:58 AM

link to a download anyone?

PAULYBEE2656 06.15.2008 11:15 AM

i need to hear this as well but from all accounts this track aint gonna be a diamond sea.

PAULYBEE2656 06.15.2008 11:22 AM

its k folks.. i got it.. its poor.. another studio rehearsal outtake that fell on the cutting room floor... at least we know that they didnt use any gems that would be on the next long player... shame but hey....

Everyneurotic 06.15.2008 11:36 AM

fucking throwaway track, nice first crack at it, needs another two years to develop.

dazedcola 06.15.2008 01:28 PM

I like this song its got a real nice, mellow feel to it like a good yo la tengo track.

SYRFox 06.15.2008 01:35 PM

Hmm I really like the intro, the rest of the song is okay I guess, some of it is really nice and some of it just meh, it sounds really Sonic Youth.

Everyneurotic 06.15.2008 01:36 PM

sorry, but you make yo la tengo sound mediocre saying that.

an ok track by yola is ten million times better than this.

tasteinmen 06.15.2008 02:00 PM

sorry, but you make sonic youth sound like a bag of shite who are out to rob their fans with the way you've reacted to this song and album.
So if you're going to express your opinions in the most prominent, in your face manner then you need to accept other peoples opinions that differ to yours.

Besides that, I personally like the song, and I think the tracklisting works very well on this album, i've been listening it over and over again in my car, just wish I could get my hands on a physical copy.

Everyneurotic 06.15.2008 05:08 PM

i think it's a shit track that's way below their standards and doesn't deserve comparisons to ylt.

and yeah, i think hits are for nerds is a ripoff, perhaps sy aren't the ones doing the direct robbing but it's a ripoff for whoever has the full lenght albums and still pays for it.

greenlight 06.15.2008 05:30 PM

I like that song, but agree with fact that they should come with something fresher than RR sounding, I want something new from typical SY sounds.

by the way Diamond Sea deserve to be on hits compilation. I wonder why it's not there (in context of great hits like). yeah, I know it's on Destroyed Room, but anyway.

This Is Not Here 06.15.2008 05:31 PM

Lovely track. Pretty out there, I like the fact Kim is pretty much inaudiable, her voice is just floating out there behind the guitar work, very good indeed- and not what I was expecting of a fairly 'lowest common denominator' compilation. Rather Ripped was crying out for a track this structureless and meandering.

Thankyou SY

Rag on one Sonic Youth song and you're making them sound like a bag of shite? You, sir, are overreacting.

That's what I thought. And I probably would have preferred it if Thurston did the vocals.

well...

pantophobia 06.15.2008 08:42 PM

i really enjoyed the shimmering guitars on the track

and Kim seemly took a lot from Christina Carter's echo type vocals, as she has been glowing Charalambides alot lately, only natural she would be inspired by it

uhler 06.15.2008 09:22 PM

it's okay. maybe i need to be in the right mood to like it, or it needs to be on a muxtape that doesn't have josef k, delta 5 and gang of four, and others, on it.

GrungeMonkey 06.16.2008 07:31 AM

i quite enjoyed it, the guitar sound was really great, lots of echo effects and delay and stuff, id really like them to experiment further in this direction, with more melody and direction...
i quite liked the wierd effects on kims vocals too
all in all, not a bad song, but they definitely need to do better stuff on their next album!

blunderbuss 06.16.2008 02:17 PM

It's a shame about the vocal. It would've made a nice instrumental.

i disagree, i think it made the song quite psychedelic and wierd...

auto-aim 06.17.2008 03:49 PM
