Sonic Youth are and will always be my favourite rock band that mixed weird sounds with rock in a song format that has vague potential to appeal to the masses. I don't listen to them much anymore, not just because their records have been a let down in the last few years, but because I have literally played the records to death, to the extent that they have become a major influence in how I think about music. When I do put on one of their records everything that I love about their music is there present and correct. They also happen to be that rare breed of geniuses who seem to have an approachable and relaxed manner about them, so extra points to them.

Listened to A Thousand Leaves on pills once. That was amazing. Unfortunately, the nature of the pills was such that absolutely everything was amazing, to the extent that I'm pretty sure there was a Philip Glass tune stuck for about 20 minutes.

and as for 'bad lietenent', what the fuck werner? i was actually looking forward to a remake because as much as i love the originals, and keitel's performance is one of the best of all time, i always felt the film could have been enhanced by a slightly bigger budget. but nick cage filling in for harvey keitel? this aint never gonna work. i love cage when he was younger like in 'wild at heart' and 'raising arizona', but he has seriously just gotten worse and worse at acting every film hes been in for like 12 years. and herzog may have lost it. i thought 'rescue dawn' was a piece of shit film as well, and now hes ruining bad liutenent.

Re "Bad Lietenant" - Herzog is obviously doing it for money, and don't me get started on Nicholas "I shagged Jemma Jameson, and she dumped me, I'm that much of a loser" Coppola....

I still love what Sonic Youth stand for, and have a huge amount of admiration for them in general. Having said that, much of their post-"Daydream Nation" releases have left me either cold or simply bored...

Yup, sure is. I've been very reliably informed to re-listen to "A Thousand Trees", so will be doing so this weekend.

It is a lovely album actually, and I've only actually truely discovered that this week, I used to have it down with Dirty as my least enjoyed SY albums, but Kims tracks are so... heavy, and Lee's are so poetic and beautiful. Thurston's tracks are pretty dull, but it, interestingly, it's the only SY album where Thurston DOESN'T sing the majority of tracks, therefore its thoroughly bearable.

Sonic Youth are still my favourite band.

I'm not too into A Thousand Leaves though, I prefer Washing Machine.

Melly: ATL. It's the one. NYCG&F is also great. But ATL is the one. For a context, remember that alternative-rock was getting into a bit of a Tortoise/ Post-rock hole at the time, and ATL sort of fits into that genre and kind of destroyed it (for me at least). Which is odd, SY coming back to eat a genre that they were partly responsible for in the first place.

It's funny for me because while my favourite albums remain those released prior to DDN, I actually think they're a more interesting band now. I may not like much of what they've done since those early releases, but it still intrigues me. Even something like Rather Ripped (which is an album I really dislike) is arguably more interesting - as a 'chapter' in the SY 'saga' than my favourite LP of their's, Sister. I get the feeling that since the release of Murray Street they've become their own band. Whether that band is necessarily a good one is largely beside the point.
