Sonic Youth

I wonder if they will do their "radio hits", or if they will do a more self-induldgent set, which they do on occassion.

Dunno, but I'd really enjoy Goo and Dirty played all the way through, along with some stuff off their upcoming album.

I cant wait to hear their new album. It sounds like they are gonna have a pretty different sound for this album. They will be minus Jim O'rourke on the new recording. Their last 2 records were phenominal, Murray Street, and Sonic Nurse. I recommend these 2 albums for new fans, they represent Sonic Youth well. Check out Pattern Recognition, Stones, Peace Attack, Empty PAge, Rain on Tin, and Disconnection Notice...

Stones and Disconnection Notice and all the songs you listed yeah I'm really enjoying SY at the moment never really got in to them until recently, but since there is hardly much outstanding around at the moment I'm kind of glad about that.

Does this sound odd to anyone else...? Im not even sure what the Gilmore Girls are, I imagine it is a TV series along the same lines as 7th Heaven or something like that. Anyways, I'll be watching May 7th...

no it isnt that bad like 7th Heaven.
dont watch it..but i know it's got a few storylines based on music etc hence guys like Sebastian Bach acting in the show regularly.
ah well worth watching to hear a new track

ha ha i happen to like the gilmore girls, its kind of stupid, but i do think there are a few witty and hilarious lines every show.

sonic youth- i really feel like hearing sonic nurse right now.

I adore Sonic Youth...such a GREAT band to see live too. Thurston just goes insane on the guitar.

One of my favorite albums from them is Sister. It was just a precusor of what was going to happen on Daydream Nation.

I can't wait to see them open up for PJ on the 2nd leg...yeah!! And Kim Gordon, that woman can STILL rock!! Not bad for a woman in her 50s, still rockin' out as if she was in her 20s.:cool: Kim Gordon is my heroine!!

sonic youth is simply an amazing band. i cannot wait for Rather Ripped on June 13th. Let's see i currently have Sister, Daydream Nation, Goo-Reissued/Deluxe ed., Washing Wachine, Murray St., and Sonic Nurse. I used to have the s/t and evol on cassette back in the day. i used to have the regular version of goo on cd, but that got stolen. but it did allow me to buy the new reissue. Overall I have to say Schizophrenia is my fav. song. But i prefer the live version to the album version. Is it just me or does Kool Thing get you in the mood to go on the prowl?

Oh my gosh, NO!!!!!!!!!! Gilmore Girls is NOTHING like 7th Heaven. GG is actually really smart & it's been apparent for years that the writers have great taste in music. I can see Thurston & Kim being fans. Esp. Kim. It's the kind of show you'd actually want your daughter watching. Smart, powerful, funny women.

Im going ot get flamed for this,but i just dont get Sonic Youth. As a guitar player for 12 years i give Thruston Moore credit; hes revolutionized Indie guitar. But their not the type of band i put on to listen to for enjoyment...i listen to them because you're supposed too.

Echoes

you should probably stop listening if you don't enjoy it at least a little, then.

MeddleDeal

Sonic Youth's music, is supposed to be appreciated, listened to, etc. They have been together since 1981!! They give us great music and they evolve with time. Their ambient sound is what makes SY great!

I can't wait to see them again w/PJ in SF!! WOHOHOOO!!

Who says so? Listen to it because you like it or put on something else. I love listening to Sonic youth, but not every album. I do feel that as a guitar player you should have heard them, but they are not easy to like. I bought Washing machine on sale., I didn't like it and I gave it away. One year later I had picked on a few new bands that made it easy for me to get into Sonic youth, because when I heard it again I couldn't figure out why I didn't like them.

Echoes

I passed on buying Murray Street and Sister used today, and I feel kind of bad, but I picked up two really good albums in their place

No haven't heard it yet.
Does anyone know if Sonic youth will come to Europe with Pearl jam?
