Best SY Songs for a Fever
 

I had a fever all weekend of 101.2 and for whatever reason I kept having "Swimsuit Issue" running through my head. While this certainly makes me worry what my insane babbling will be like in the old folks' home when I'm senile, it also got me thinking how very feverish many of my favorite Sonic Youth songs are. I didn't actually put any music, their's or anyone else's, on, as my body was far too achey to get out of bed, but had I it might have included:

Swimsuit Issue
I'm Insane
Early American
Creme Brulee
Invito Al Cielo
Death to Our Friends
In the Kingdom #19
Shaking Hell
Ghost Bitch
Burning Spear

Yours?

Halloween looped.

Washing Machine from 2:30 onwards
Diamond Sea
Hallowe'en
Intro
I Dreamed I Dream
The Good and The Bad
Kim's intro for Teen Age Riot
Youth Against Facism
Swimsuit Issue
Intro to Candle
In The Kingdom #19
Theresa's Sound World
Intro to 'Cross The Breeze

Dude Ranch Nurse of course. "Let Nurse give you a shot..." Not sure that track would help your state though.

Ah "Halloween" and "I Dreamed I Dream" are both essential too! Most early Kim songs really...

Yeah, I was gonna go with early-Kim stuff, too.

I dunno if I'd wanna be dealing with that stuff with a high fever though.

Heh.

It'd be like trying to watch Lost Highway.

True, I remember when I first got Kill Yr. Idols in 1986 and skipped class to listen to it through for the first time and dropped acid to get in the mood. Not the best plan...

"intro" (from bad moon) looped
providence
marilyn moore

Actually all of Bad Moon Rising (except for Death Valley '69) would be good.
Tom Violence
Providence
Disappearer

Secrets Girls, Marilyn Moore, Expressway to yr Skull, Schizophrenia, Dirty Boots, and finally Mildred Pierce.

In that fucking order.
