SY = VU
 

Sonic Youth is the modern day VU. In the future people will look back at SY with the same reverence that is now attributed to VU. SY is pop music fucked up completely. Just like the VU did in the beginning.

nobody has ever made that comparison before.




*blue text = sarcasm.

Why do trolls with 9000 posts have to exist?

floatingslowly doesn't post here anymore.

I'm not a troll. I'm a nice guy. You'll figure that out later after the hazing. Ask all the regulars who neg-rep me... this is "my thing."

So worn out and tired...

sort of like the comparison?

oh snaps!

but seriously. I'm nice.

tried to rep, but failed

really? why?


...

floslow is too busy. He started a band with Mikey from the Life Cereal commercials. They're "grunge". sigh.

I smell gothic-grunge-robotic-depression

sonic youth are the modern day sonic youth. conversely, they are also the latter day sonic youth.

they have an album coming out soon called Pop Rock & Coke.

my feelings are hard, like my metal robit body
the black night of pain, is blacker than my feelings
which are substantially about pain
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

the black darkness of my soul,
girl, was it always going to come to this?
you betrayed my heart, and now it is filled with the pain
my hearts twists like a knife
of pain,
and feelings
and the feelings are about pain
and also i am a robit.
Yyyyyyyyyeaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

my naked emotions,
dragged thru the dirt
of your pain filled heart
it feels like i am broken
inside
the dark pit of my heart
were the pain
is dark
and black like my emotions and feelings which as i may have mentioned are also black
Yyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

i am so tired
its time i died
my heart is like a knife
of twisting emotions and feelings
of pain
and blackness
tormented by these crows
crows of grunge blackness
Yyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

ive got my self hate
because
i hate you more
this failure collides
into my blackened heart of painful pain
and also my feeings and emotions of pain and blackness
and the night, that is as tired and black as my heart
which is tired and black like my bones
jeremy spoken last week
and he said
despite all my rage
i am still just a shark in a robits body

i destroyed the heart
i am sick like a green doll
of black pain
and rage
at your fuckin society

repped

How are the things Al?

is that the single or did the album leak already?

well.
weather is too damn hot, I think poland might be the same at the moment, isnt it?
last stress phase at university.
the few days in paris two weeks ago were awesome!!

how are you doing? hope everything is fine!!!

i am desolate pain
blackened night of dark blackness
girl, this hell, why did you betrays me?
girl, you touched my heart,
it turned black,
like my soul,
like my even flow,
of black blood
in my dead viens
Yyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

my mind destroyed
by the lies of your fucking society

hatred boils
inside me
the blackness
like overcooked french fries
my brittle heart breaks
to the sound of the lies
of your fuckin society

mom and dad went to a show
they dropped me off at grandpa joes
were the dark black pain of your fucking society
ravaged my black heart like the pain of the screaming crows of the black night of pain of your barren dark world of black pain and blackness
Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhh

girl, your light in my heart
fading like a candle
my ugly soul,
you treaded on my dreams with the (sole)
of your shoe
your black shoe, uncaring like the night of blackness
were i died in a hole
of pain
i screamed in rage
but noone is there
noone can hear my candle scream
in the black night of the lies of their fuckin society.

thats the first single called "di-lithium crystals of blackened dark pain"

02. - dead hole space

my head fucked by infinity
raped by the darkness
of your twisted world

the lies cut the flesh
of the screaming child,
dead burnt child, burnt by the dying of time
fuck your world!!
YYYYEEEEEAAAAA-EEE-EHHH-EYYY-AAAEEEHHH!!

you made us sell our souls
till there was nothing left to sell
our blackened 90's rage
hated by the hatred of rage darkness sad clownface
dies inside this world
of dying lies killed by the dead hate of black sadness
i'm gonna break my rusty cage
but i swear that i dont have a gun
so i will use a spoon instead
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHHHEEEEEEYYY-AAAAAAHHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHHAAAAA-OHHHHHHH!

in the funeral of nightmares
lies the promised land of tears
in that feeling i cant escape
were the voices cry out
and jesus dies
again
the truth was sold
by the fuckin corporations

I think Jesus and Mary Chain were more like a modern VU, if we're talking boring, druggy, hazey, vaguely noisey but still accessible stuff.

Sonic Youth are way more interesting, as they've actually broken down barriers within the confines of rock music (VU did too, but in a much more narrow way). If anything, they're a modern day Captain Beefheart -- without sounding anything like the Captain, mind you. They have reconfigured the language of "rock" music, not just added some blackness to it, but actually pulled it completely inside out... created their own language, if you will.

03. - angel of sin

only need a few years to live
only need a few things left to give
only need a mind left not to sell
only need anything

only need your heart girl
only need something that won't betray

<solo>

forsaken,
she walks in
she looks like an angel
an angel of my sin

her skin is smooth like cigarettes
her hair is like angel hair pasta that tastes nice when you chew on it also she dyed it green
i want to feel her love,
buzz
the smoke, touch me, i am yours
our hearts bleed into one
they melt into the candle
the candle that burns of our love

but you betrayed my broken soul
you fucked with my heart
i am the broken man
ghost of our dead love

why cant you feel anything?
you threw my poetry journal in the bin,
and my heart fell in with it
i had to ask the janitor after school would he open the bin for me so i could get it out
he said no, it had already been taken away by the garbadge men
again, i am betrayed by this fuckin society

only need anything,
left that she won't betray
ever day, the hell is longer
getting ready to leave this place
stay with me, by my side
my love shields you
from the lies
of this dead world
and we will be again
in our heart shaped box.
i will let you in
i will find away
the acne tears a hole
when i squeeze it, and it bleeds
try to kill it, with clearosil
but i remember, it doesnt work
what have i become?
my sweetest girl?
every girl i know, doesnt talk to me,
in the end.

i would definitely say vu created their own musical language

Sure, but not to the degree of something like SY, or Beefheart. VU definitely added some dissonance and blackness to their songs, but really, stripped-down -- and especially on later records -- they were pop songs. Drugged-out, hazey, simple, ugly, and boring pop songs. Obviously, not EVERY song is like that, like Sister Ray, but even that kinda stuff was sorta in tune with what was going on at the time. In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida anyone? (I'm just kidding, but only slightly)...

Poison Arrow is pretty VU sounding.

Post of the year.

hahahahahaha OMG

Hey brother,

Good to hear that you are doing well. It's hot as hell here too, I can't sleep longer, because of the sun which is shining straight to my window in the morning, and it's making a good temperature inside. Oh! I'm having the final phase too! How is it? I have one last semester left, and the final engineer work needs to be done... Awesome thing that you've been to Paris, I need to go there sometime.

nah.. VU has a wider audience and bigger influence over other artists.. if anything SY is more like the Dead.. they stuck it out for decades, they evolved and progressed as musicians with each album and year, they had an ecclectic following and partial mainstream success, they became a household name but yet practically nobody has actually heard them, just heard of..

SY=Grateful Dead

VU= more popular than SY

VU were painfully overrated.

I can see where you're coming from with that.

You blow my mind

Perhaps we should ask the thousands of bands that VU influenced or SY themselves, then shut up and listen to what they have to say.

Precisely. VU influenced countless artists that don't even play rock music.

Either way, I'm going to jam SY's "Electricity" cover right now and go to bed.

Make sure you play their cover of European Son right after that.

Touché!

Then, just for good measures, I'll listen to their cover of WITHIN YOU WITHOUT YOU!

Please do. Just don't lose too much sleep over it.
