Artist:SONIC YOUTHTitle:Helen Lundeburg/EyelinerFormat:7"Catalog
Number:SY00Price:$4.00Label:Sonic YouthRelease
Date:5/1/06****** Two of the final tracks recorded at SONIC YOUTH’s Murray St. studio before the classic quartet line-up was kicked out of NYC. For a time assumed to be lost, “Helen Lundeburg” and “Eyeliner” are both Thurston Moore-sung tracks that couldn't be shoehorned onto the upcoming Rather Ripped.< No one’s really sure /i>who released this, but the dude who dropped them off on the diCristina loading dock was driving a thrashed RAV4.

Whoa, neat - thanks for the heads up!

4 bucks? I might get it.

im gettin it

thanks for the word

Thanks. Look forward to seeing it soon. Can't wait for Rather Ripped on wax. Yeahhh

thanks

There's a label called Sonic Youth? (see label and catalog number)

thanks for posting this.

Man, that's awesome.
Helen Lundeberg was my favorite song from the Flywheel set too.
$4 should be worth it and Eyeliner.

Fuck yeah.
Buy seven of them.
Sell them on Ebay in 20 years.

looks like a ledgit release..as it was in some catalog at work today...although if thats the final cover art..im a bit dissappointed...

Just ordered a copy

yeah but price and shipping is much cheaper at midheaven site. thanks for keeping us informed moshe...

We hear you man!
 

We just added a media mail option for the US to the KungFuNation site. We've tried to avoid Media Mail because it can take forevah - or as Outkast would ask and answer: "Forever-ever? Forever-ever!" But spending $4 shipping on a $4 single seems excessive because not everyone has Outkast dollars. If you maintain your virtuous patience when you select Media Mail, we're happy to offer it.


So, thanks for the polite discussion of the matter!

Ciao!

is this going to be available in record stores? or just online?

i take it it's not a limited edition 7", right?

midheaven is probably my favorite music store, online or real.

Thanks for the news Moshe.

Is it possible to order through a money order? I've send them an email about this but I'm not getting a response.

yes sir, they do:

We accept VISA and MasterCard, as well as checks (they're held for a week or two until our bank says it's okay), money orders, IMOs (International Money Orders drawn in US dollars only), and (well-concealed) cash (if you mail cash, send it via registered mail!) Credit card orders can be submitted via Netscape, Internet Explorer, AOL or any other browser. If you'd rather send credit card info via fax, mail, or email, that's okay, too. You may also print out a time-tested paper order form and snailmail it to us instead. We're not able to issue cash refunds; if you prepay your order and send it via snailmail and we are out of stock on any of your choices, we will issue a credit slip to be used on subsequent orders. If you need assistance or have any questions about online ordering, contact help@midheaven.com.

Look at the sy store now for this.

UK stockists:

Cargo records: http://www.cargorecords.co.uk/releas...e61af6eafbc50a. Cost to the UK is £4.99 with free postage. Postage to Europe is £1.00.

I don't have ANY money to buy anything,
but I was wondering what the time lengths are for both songs.
Thanks.

hey whoreohscope - did you order from midheaven? just wondering - i ordered it on monday and didn't expect it to arrive too quickly. what day did you order?

yeah, i'm anxious.

Did anybody get their copy yet? I ordered mine on Sunday and it's not here. I have a radio show tomorrow night at midnight and REALLY wanted to use it then. SoulSeek maybe just so I can use it on the air?

I got mine today and i'm listening to helen lundeberg now... and I can wow this fuckin awesome! Can;t wait to spin the eyeliner side.

I think it was left off because these songs were recorded at murray street and they just didn't have access to the tapes or some such shit. It's something to do with murray street.

Thurston's voice sounds funny in a good way on eyeliner./ Yea, it was good, not quite as good as helen tho. Glad I bought this baby.

internationnal shipping cost are $12 !!!!!! (total : $16) via kungfu nation and $7.95 via midheaven mailorder (total : $11.95) .For european, via cargo : £5.95 (total about $11).

can someone please encode them in mp3 and post a link?
thanx

I got my copy yesterday and i think i ordered mine on Friday?...
anyways these 2 tracks are rockers w/ much more crunchier guitars
than anything on the new album so w/ that and thurston's vocal delivery they really don't fit in well on Rather Ripped, and thats no surprise that they aren't included on it. i suppose i can comparitively say that the 7" sounds quite abit more Stooges style punk influenced than anything else they've done in the recent past. I kinda wish that Rather Ripped had some more of the "abrasiveness" like on this 7".

FWIW UK online retailers seem to have got these in today. Boomkat and Norman records both have them - I imagine they'll turn up at Rough Trade et al as well.

The Norman site claims these are limited to 500 copies.

These tracks are very, um, sub-par. Nothing at all like the RR tracks. Good choice to release them seperately. They do, however, contain much of the Sonic noise some of you miss.

arrived this morning... wow... fucking great... so much better than rather ripped! helen lundeberg is fantastic... eyeliner is cool, i've a feeling it will grow on me a lot more... it sounds like it should have been a kim gordon vocal maybe! i could imagine her using her bodacious vocal stylings as heard on mariah carey and the arthur doyle handcream.... it sounded like thursotn was trying to kind of emulate that style maybe... maybe she has given up such vocals in favour of psuedo english rock incantations... (see what a waste)

i love the drumming, the guitars, the lyrics, the vocal stylings.... it sounds like classic SY but its completely rad and its like the Fall meets free jazz meets punk meets cool shit and i love it and helen lundeberg reminds me of New Puritan by the Fall a bit and the vocals are like from Thurston's book of poetry and they're great and i hate the vocals on rather ripped they're so half assed!

I definitely enjoy Helen Lundeburg: sounds a bit like DNA. Eye Liner is fun, but not as much -umph- if you dig me. All in all I'm not dissapointed.

I picked it up at the store today for $4. Can't wait to listen to it.


The art is very shitty though. Minimalism can be done much better.
