Yes, same song

Working title: "Dirge" aka "Karen II"
Debuted instrumentally in 2001, first performed with vocals at the 2002 All Tomorrow's Parties festival.
Part of the outro on the LP version is taken from the 10/07/01 debut of the song in NYC.
The fourth of five new compositions debuted by Sonic Youth in 2001.
Lyrics on sonicyouth.com have slight alterations: "Come home/some time" and "stuck in isolation" sang at the end.
TITLE CHANGED POST RELEASE: after the artwork for Murray Street had been finalized (yet prior to its release, I believe), Lee decided he preferred the title "KARENOLOGY" and the song's title was officially changed for all purposes other than, uh, the album release.
