2.peace attack
3.mote
4.sweet shine

i said to a friend: WATCH THIS VHS (The Year Punk Broke) AND THIS DVD (Live Rock en Seine 2004)...
now he likes sonic youth

I would probably do with these:

- 100%
- Teenage Riot
- Youth Against Fascism
- Empty Page
- Sunday
- Diamond Sea

...and I've tried the following three with my girlfriend and she really loved them (by the way, she's a System of a Down and Korn diehard, so she doesn't care about indie at all):

- Dripping Dream
- Stones
- Skip Tracer

where did you get that DVD? is it available somewhere?

i once dated a girl who absolutely loathed Sonic Youth.
i tried a pretty wide swath of different songs from different eras, but nothing seemed to stick. until i opened one the the many mix tapes i made for her with The Empty Page.
now she's a True Believer.
baby steps people.

i downloaded from dimeadozen.org...
now i'm sharing the gig on www.purelivegigs.com

i'm not seeding right now that gig, because i had to delete it from my computer

Teenage Riot, Silver Rocket, The Sprawl, Cross the Breeze, and Mote.

'Cross the Breeze
Hey Joni
Dirty Boots
Shoot
Rain on Tin

its difficult.
i'd be inclined to go for their more mainstream stuff like 100%, kool thing etc, but then that isn't really (in my eyes) and introduction to sonic youth...

into the groove(y)
becuz
mary christ
schizophrenia
halloween? not sure about that

if i was getting someone into SY i would like to give them an impression of what they're actually like rather than easing them in, you now what i mean? i don't know if it would work though. i did get a friend into SY by making her a mixtape of a bunch of stuff, but she was a) already into some quite weird stuff anyway, and b) i think she would have liked whatever i put on that cd, so its kinda irrelevant.

it definitely depends on the person. i haven't met anyone who i think wouldn't like ANY sonic youth songs, and so whoever it was you could probably tailor 5 songs to their taste and lead them in from there...

i turned adriana into sonic yout with little trouble girl (well wm was only sy lp i had with me that time), which is strange for me. because it's only one sy sonng i always skip.
