Does anyone know what Jim played on this track? Organ, guitar, bass? Anyone? The bass-line sounds rather simple, and I'm thinking Kim played it on this one.

It's also my favourite off Sonic Nurse since the first time I heard this album.

Anyone?

Lee played a synth organ type thing. Jim played guitar, so I Kim played bass

Thank you very much! ^

first for me too...

one of my favourite sy songs period... and i agree about the best song they could open with... along with candle which i also got at atp.

Does anyone know what this song is about?

i adore that song (as i do the whole album). We did a poll on here not long ago and Sonic Nurse came up as the favourite SY album of the 00's. I think its a Kim Gordon classic. Shes so much better doing quieter songs, they really show off the beauty of her voice. Thats why I love 'Shadow of a Doubt', 'Beauty Lies in the Eye', 'Secret Girls' and 'Little Trouble Girl'.

Wow, I'm not the only one who digs 'Little trouble girl'.

i love it. it is gorgeous.
who is golden blue, i wonder?

I think most people love it.
The board voted Washing Machine SY's best album of the 90's too
If I remember correctly it was

80's - Sister / Daydream Nation
90's - Washing Machine
00's - Sonic Nurse

You have to take Washing Machine in the context of when it came out, hearing songs like 'Little Trouble Girl', 'The Diamond Sea' and 'Skip Tracer' must have been mindblowing, they had done nothing of the sort previously. I always see Washing Machine as the turning point in which you see the modern sonic youth evolving.

golden blue is fucking great. live it was amazing.
i rank it right up there with beaty llies in th eeyeeye and shadow of a doubt and FUCKING DUDE RANCH NURSE!!!!! That song does not get it's due! It is a fucking great song!

I got this one after Dirty, and has always been one of my favorites. I hold this one way on top. Right before DDN.

Song sucks. Accept it.

to my mind this song is simply the best SY song ever. the intro in crescendo is marvellous and you find the same instrument sounding like a siren of boat that you also find on "slaapkamers met slagroom". how does it name? does anyone know?

i would like more insight into the lyrics.

Its a stunning song. So beautiful

i've allways thought it was to do with dead babies for some reason

i love you golden blue starts off sweetly noisy and gets very sad.

i think it is about remembering a dead pet, a dog, from long ago.
