favorite SY ep reissue live track
 

on the Sonic Youth ep reissue, which of the songs did you enjoy the most?

Destroyer.

destroyer is neat-o

I had to pick Destroyer, since I have waited years to hear it. But also Cosmopolitan Girl was a nice surprise. Fuck, the whole show is awesome though.
PS How do you make polls?

Nice poll....I was thinking of posting it myself.

oh jellybeans, haven't heard it yet.

I couldn't decide between Destroyer and Cosmopolitan Girl.
I loooovee this album.

I second.

I haven't heard it yet, but I like the burning spear.

When you start a new topic there is a poll option towards the bottom of the form where you would click 'okay' or 'post new topic' or something to that nature.

it also tells you how in the FAQ section.

even though the threadstarter already knows my answer, as seeing we
date and stuff, it's between "cosmopolitan girl" and "she is not alone."

voted for "loud and soft".

Loud and Soft too.

The quiet section is really great

Cosmopolitan Girl... really nice Kim vocal.

I chose Cosmopolitan Girl. I can't believe that Destroyer and Cosmopolitan Girl never made it to a recording studio.

as much as I loce cosmo girl and destroyer (esp c.g. i think), I can't say no to the she is not alone take. A different beast of that song.

extras sound better than the album itself.

I think Cosmopolitan Girl is very similar to the material they played in the Noisefest gig... In fact, I think the last Noisefest track is an instrumental Cosmopolitan Girl - I even think I heard Thurston saying "This is called Cosmopolitan" or something like that before the song...

?? i dont think any of the noisefest tracks appear on the EP reissue... i was actually surprised by this. there is one other show that's surfaced that contains a noisefest track, but i don't have it. i think these 4 tracks were pretty unique to the 'original' line-up...

but i could be wrong! i'll have to listen to em again...i thought it was odd that they were playing a CKM song in september 81..

cosmopolitan girl, loud and soft, destroyer and early studio! uff...impossible to choose.....what's yr. favourite....what is the best?????!!!!!

If my memory is good, the two tracks are pretty similar and I'm nearly sure that Thurston introduces Cosmopolitan on that Noisefest show... But, I may be wrong too...

I just checked the Noisefest gig, I still don't hear Cosmo Girl (nor do I hear Thurston say anything). I can see how the rhythms are similar, but I don't think the Noisefest track is Cosmo Girl (since it existed prior to the NF gig, why would they play an embryonic instrumental version?). Unless your Noisefest is longer than mine ...

No, you should be right... I'll check it back later

Destroyer.

Cosmopolitan Girl and Burning Spear are both amazing as well.

Woaah... I must have smoke something bad to say something like that... There is no similarities between Cosmopolitan Girl and Noisefest #4... What a shame :D Anyway, Cosmopolitan Girl sounds like Noisefest material, in the style I want to say (nottably the "bursting" Kim vocals)
