Your Sonic Youth listening...
 

What's the last thing you played by Sonic Youth? And what did you think of it?

I've just played Murray Street again and now realize just how great it is.

the only sonic youth i ever listen is the track (silence) from the whitey album over and over.

some of a thousand leaves sounds like a rough mix or unfinished record. kinda raw. i like that about it. the midsection of hits.. is boring to me, but thurston's vocals are nice

i just pulled down the recent live set from paris, some radio broadcast with all the new material. pretty dope. that and i busted out piece for jetsun dolma after not hearing it for a while. it's still great

Dirty...

Probably my least favorite of their's but I decided to give it another chance.

Teenage Riot; on my guitar

Last thing I played was...umm... Murray Street like a month ago. I thought it was just as good as it was before I heard it again.

Played 'Murray Street' whilst cooking a nice curry on Thursday.

Unsurprisingly, it's still the best LP ever made by anyone.

I've been listening to Rather Ripped. Trying to absorb it as much as possible. Not a bad record, but a bit of a let down. doesnt exactly meet SY standards.

Give it many more chances!!!!;)

white kross live

it's one of my favorite youth songs.

a couple hours ago i was listening PSYCHIC HEARTS...
yesterday i was listening the Made in USA soundtrack

I just bought "Sonic Youth" the re-issue today, haven't heard it yet though.

Pink Steak @ Flywheel earlier today.

i think the last SY i listened to was Sonic Nurse last week. Nurse is one of the best albums to listen to at night.

no, wait. i listened to their cover of "Ca Plane Pour Moi" on my mp3 player a few days ago.

well it's not really sonic youth...weapons of ass destruction and its fantastic.

Today I woke up with Hold That Tiger
and went on with Hidros3.....well not actually a sy album, but also very nice

She's in a Bad Mood

It's an awesome way to start Confusion Is Sex, and I love Thurston's voice on this track. I think this song has a creepy feel to it, and I always seem to be listening to it before bed.

this is dumbest thread in the whole board

this is like the "what are you listening to?" thread but for people with no music collections or imagination.

I'm playing nurse again alot. It's a great album.

Well, it's interesting to me to hear what Sonic Youth fans make of the SY music they're currently listening to. Sorry if it's not interesting to you.

Anyway, right now: The Whitey Album (Needle-Gun). Fantastic stuff!

I listened to Rather Ripped last. I do like it, and am liking the poppier side and faster tempos. There are a few lyrical duds though, esp Lights Out (lame lyrics on the chorus) and Sleeping Around (lame lyrics throughout).

It's cool hearing kim harmonize with herself on Rena.

A show from 1996 that was dominated by stuff from EJST&NS and Warshing Machine. I thought it was a good time.....I have no complaints.

Not strictly SY but am now listening to Psychic Hearts, inspired by that Record Collector review (they rated it higher than The Whitey Album, by the way).

SYR1-Anagrama, a couple days ago. Just picked it up (on vinyl) for the first time last week. I like it but not as much as SRY2 and SYR4.

been rocking the deluge of sonic youth torrents supplied by tunic on dime, lately.

most recently the seattle gig from the 1998 thousand leaves tour. fabulous!

being playing sonic nurse regularly since its release.

murray street blew me away as it was a return to form and an amazing change in sound/direction. even though sonic nurse continued that style, I'm starting to feel that its a better album!

Been playing my SYR collection (1, 2, and 4) quite a bit, plus the SY EP reissue and Ciccone Youth. But I'm also gearing up to make a mix tape, so who knows what's on the horizon. Over the past winter, Confusion is Sex/Kill Your Idols and Bad Moon seemed to fit the seasonally down mood I was in.

I think murray street is a little more interesting that Nurse. MS tends to be one I can play more often and not get tired of. But I'm also really quite fond of A Thousand Leaves these days, too.

Right now: A Thousand Leaves. Hip Priest won't like me for this, but I think it's possibly better than Murray Street...

The last thing I played was Sonic Nurse and I thought it rocked.

I'll second Every-n.

Reena yesterday. I can't get over that song. It's just so damn catchy in that non-annoying way. SN@ke...TAB IT! PLEASE!

I listened to nurse yesterday morning and realized it was a lot better than i remember it being. I love "stones" now. Later that day i played Evol and its still one of my SY favorites. The best part is i start to notice more things in the tracks than before. Like things i never payed attention to suddenly im like damn that sounds good.Same thing has happened with Sister.

Anyone else have this kind of experience when listening to SY ?

Me too. I have the neutral vinyl but haven't had a turntable in about 15 years. Made it through the original stuff on my way to work. I'll be listening to the bonus stuff on my lunch break.

I just streamed all of rather ripped yesterday. Pretty good but i think it kind of lacks a distinct personality. I don't know. Maybe i just need to listen to it for awhile. It's quite the easy listen, more so than Nurse. But very good
nonetheless. Some of the lyrics are cringe-inducing but overall solid.

I like rats, reena, incinerate, pink steam, and the neutral. I'm still soaking in the others, but i don't really like do you believe in rapture. And i'm not sure how i feel about or.
