Chris L's recent thread upstairs looking for non-YT'd Sonic Youth vids got me to thinking about some of the older days of SYG... like Tesla brought up the Usenet alt.music.sonicyouth for instance. And I remember around the time NYCG&F came out and the SY site went up but not much was there at the time. And at that time the Paintbox FTP was still up and that's how I got to hear so many bsides and bootlegs back then.
(then was thinking about those pre-SY.com sites... Saucerlike, SonicTooth, Shouting Poetic Truths, evol.org, etc......) I'm kind of fuzzy about the first incarnation of the official SYG board though. I know I had a diff name back then. And I remember talking at least to Chris L on that board. But if you go upstairs and go to the last page of threads and just start reading Sonic threads from when the new board started up it's so interesting. Like a time capsule. Was right around the release of Rather Ripped and the s/t reissue. I don't know. Wanted to start a thread just to talk about some of the earlier days of SY on the interwebs, some of our earlier days as a community here, maybe dig up some cool/interesting threads from wayback. I don't know. Maybe the announcement of that Chicago 85 show and the idea of the band rolling out archival releases has gotten me in the mood to look back on my own history of following them. Let's get nostalgic y'all.

2006 SYG would have loved this thread. 2012 SYG is an asshole.

alright well for me, going back reading stuff about the SY reissue and Rather Ripped just got me really back in time. RR was released about a month before I got married. So I feel like that record just has this real special nostalgia about it that I'm not sure I ever put my finger on until just today.

At the Make Up gig last night myself, Trick and a couple other friends who
used to post here were reminiscing about the old board. Good times, great when I was unemployed and suffering insomnia. Met Patrick via the old forum as well. So there's a check in its column.

you should have posted this in the SY forum so I would have seen it! because yes, after all these years I'm still incapable of participating in the non-SY forums.
i guess this is the first SY site (earlier hits are just that Leaves-era placeholder image) i have fond memories of alt.music.sonic-youth...not so much of those pre-SY.com sites who always lifted my content. ![]() but i was a brat..at least i got stuff done..

^come to think of it suchfriends, it literally has kept me connected to ya'll for a decade now. Looking thru those archive.org links, I found a post I made about Diskaholics back in 2002.

kind of awesome. I don't think I've realized that some of you I've been talking to for 10 f'ing years man. I'm gonna pour a drink and toast the board. Cheers.

many of us have met up at shows and record stores, many of know each other outside the forum, and at the least, all of us have been able to communicate with each other as a community through this forum to share our Sonic love
