Sonic Youth Gossip - what are you listening to?

Have you listened to the albums he made with Kath Bloom in the first half of the '80s? That's some of the most brutal music I can think of. Kath's voice doesn't suggest heartbreak, it is heartbreak; lyrically there's not exactly much in the way of metaphors, as for the most part things are directly laid out; and Connors' role is mainly to provide trebly acoustic stabs. Described like that it sounds like a recipe for awful overemo shit, I know, but it most certainly isn't - it's pure human feelings set to wax, and it can freakin' hurt. Not for everyday listening, yes for a beautiful/painful experience.

In fact I haven't. But it sounds intriguing. I'm in the right state of mind for something like that from time to time. Some good emotional heft, if tastefully and genuinely delivered, is absolutely priceless. Thanks.

By the way, when I put the m4b audiobook file into foobar2000, it automatically split into its 40 constituent tracks, which needless to say was very practical - it must have a cue sheet in its metadata. Now, if you want it as one long file, in any format, that can be arranged as well... :)

I never got to see these guys live and I regret that. I believe they are on “hiatus“, but who knows? NYCgaf16 has been listening to some classic stuff!
