How often do you listen to SY?
 
pOlL!

_slavo_ 06.23.2008 04:58 AM

Once every 2 months, if I have to pick. If there was an option "a couple of times in a month", that'd suit me more.

I actually only listen to a few selected records that I truly love anymore. Such as 5-6 regular CDs and 1-2 SYRs. And some Text of Light here and there.

acousticrock87 06.23.2008 05:00 AM

About once a week, but usually a little less.

pokkeherrie 06.23.2008 05:07 AM

The last things I've listened are SYR7, SYR8 and Slow Revolution, but those are all new releases. If we don't count those and just take into account older records that we've already heard before and listen again, then I can't even remember the last time. Must've been months ago for sure.

pantophobia 06.23.2008 08:58 AM

sporadic, go through spurts when i listen to a bunch at once, then nothing for a while

HECKLER SPRAY 06.23.2008 09:04 AM

Not steadily.

atsonicpark 06.23.2008 09:08 AM

used to every day, then every week, then every month, now...

batreleaser 06.23.2008 09:18 AM

i listen to them a few times a week. i mean, they have records for so many moods. if i want a record that meets the perfect balance of noise and pop, ill pop in 'daydream nation'. if i want some grimey post-no wave noise punk, itll be 'bad moon rising' or 'confusion is sex'. if i want guitar noise, 'silver sessions'. if i want some proto grind hardcore nustoness, 'tv shit'. if i want to light a spliff and jam, 'murray street' or 'a thousand leaves' will do. if i want some experimental compositions, 'syr4'. catch my drift? they are a fucking amazing bands that have made incredible records in a shitload of different styles.

Rob Instigator 06.23.2008 10:20 AM

I play sonic youth at least 3 times a weeek, more if you count the MP3's in my cell phone

Derek 06.23.2008 10:23 AM

I go on sporadic binges.

noisereductions 06.23.2008 10:25 AM

Often. Frequency varies...

But I do this thing every year (usually around mid-winter) where I listen to an album a day, every day in sequence. Like today I'll listen to SONIC YOUTH, tomorrow I'll listen to CONFUSION, and so on until I've listened to all the LP's in order. I usually include SONIC DEATH, MADE IN USA, and the SYR's as well. It's a nice tradition.

nicfit 06.23.2008 11:32 AM

I think once in every couple weeks... but honestly bits of songs are triggered in my mind on a number of occasion in "normal life"...

greedrex 06.23.2008 11:59 AM

whenever my wife is not around


like i said
"the wife is tough"

radarmaker 06.23.2008 01:15 PM

Leaving aside when the odd track pops up at random on my mp3 player, a couple of times a week on average. I dozed off to the b-side of SYR7 last Friday and gave Rather Ripped a spin over the weekend for the first time in at least 6 months.

noisereductions 06.23.2008 01:24 PM

J'Accuse, Master-Dik and HAFS are all on my mp3 player right now.

EMMAh 06.23.2008 04:16 PM

Not very often, about every six months but it's not a scheduled thing.

viewtiful_alan 06.23.2008 04:18 PM

I listen to them often, but not all the time like I used to, I really don't want them to become complacent like I've done with so many other bands.

dazedcola 06.23.2008 04:43 PM

whenever i feel like playing their records

gualbert 06.23.2008 04:46 PM

Rarely.
That's weird , but today this forum reminded me of Sonic Youth , so I listened to Dirty and Goo in a row .
That was nice , except for some lame riffs on Dirty.

xxlouiisxx 06.23.2008 05:35 PM

I listen to SY every day because I've just discover them !

viewtiful_alan 06.23.2008 05:39 PM

Well welcome to the exciting world of Sonic Youth. : )

o'connor 06.23.2008 06:33 PM

i put everything i have by them on my hard drive at work, so if i'm at work, i'm bumping SY.

pbradley 06.23.2008 06:40 PM

Listening to Sister right now. I really don't have a routine to my listening habits as I may be into one band for one week and another the following week. There's been times I listened to little Sonic Youth because I was looking into another band or something. But generally more often than other bands.

Everyneurotic 06.23.2008 11:10 PM

every once in a while, around every two or three months seem to be the magic number.

i don't listen to most music very often, tons of rotation going on here.

vulva 06.24.2008 12:18 AM

Yeah, I listen to them quite frequently since I'm still relatively new to them (only started listening to them around 2005 or so)

Dead-Air 06.24.2008 12:51 AM

There are weeks where I might only listen to them once, but there are plenty of other weeks where I listen to them every day. So 3 times a week is a reasonable average. I've currently been on a Nurse revival with the cd glued to my car stereo, which is nice, because it's stopped me from listening to the news in the car.

uhler 06.24.2008 01:01 AM

there are weeks where i listen to them a lot (mostly in my car). but i haven't listened to them for about two weeks at this moment. from january to march i didn't listen to them at all and then from april until earlier this month i didn't listen to them either. it just comes in spurts i guess.

i just chose once a week cause usually i play at least one song of theirs once a week.

Death & the Maiden 06.24.2008 03:24 AM

It depends on the phase I'm going through. Right now, it's not an SY phase, so I haven't listened to them in about three weeks. When I'm in an SY phase, it can be up to an album per day.

i know that feeling


I listen to them on my way to work. And i only have maybe 3 or 4 bands that i can listen to right now so its 'quite often'.

I do get worried that i'll wear them out and get bored, but then i think i'm a little way off that just yet

Bal 06.24.2008 05:30 AM

i listen to their instrumental stuff mostly during the summer..
syr 3 and 7..
im in love with them

ZEROpumpkins 06.24.2008 05:33 AM

It's been ages, I just know all their songs off by heart, so I just need to think about a song by them to hear it haha.

[Sandbag] 06.29.2008 11:24 AM

every fucking single day x)

Phlegmscope 06.29.2008 01:12 PM

Hardly ever. An album or two few times a year for the last couple of years.

Interstellar 06.29.2008 03:36 PM

Love to listen everyday, but I'm just too busy. I chose 3x a week, but you know that fluctuates.

raging_nelly 06.30.2008 08:08 AM

litterally every day.

i mean, i dont make a conscious effort to or anything, im just always wanting to listen to some music and, being my favourite band of all time, they are obviously my first choice.

havent heard any today as of yet tho...
