sonic YOUTH


sonic youth formed one day in 1981, when thurston moore and lee ranaldo took turns fucking up guitars with screwdrivers and chopsticks and shit and playing drums. kim gordon was there too and one day they got a drummer. 

that drummer was the creepy garage attendant who stole the ferrari in ferris bueller's day off. this is the number one reason to like sonic youth. for some reason he thought it would be a good idea to leave sonic youth after they released their first album to play full-time in another band.

anyway, cut to 2009 (that's now). these dudes are about to drop their 16th studio album under the sonic youth banner, or their 50th release including singles and all the other wacky shit they've done in their time.

sonic youth fucking rocks. sonic youth sound like i want to have a cigarette. isn't it a little bit late now to still be experimenting with guitars? because the now 51 year old thurston moore hasn't age since he was 24, i say no. seriously, look, it's fucking weird.

poison arrow is an almost pleasant one from their new album, the eternal.

kool thing is probably the most famous (i don't know if famous is a thing here) sonic youth song. it's pretty sick. you might like it. 

if you don't, fuck you, i don't care, it's rainy and i'm bored and i'm sick of it.
