Confuse Yr Idols : A Tribute to Sonic Youth.
 
Searched the SYGossip & never seen this posted before. Maybe I didn't look hard enough, anyway anyone ever seen this? Picked it up earlier today. It's basically a bunch of bands that covered Sonic Youth tracks. Here's my "review" so hopefully none of you took part in this recording.

Track listing:

1. Death Valley '69 by Racebannon. - Annoying and sounds terrible.

2. Shadow of a Doubt by Brystl. - Still unsure what to think of this.. Overall the vocals need to be louder.

3. Eric's Trip by New Grenada. - Pretty groovy track by some females. Sounds like Vivian Girls covered Sonic Youth with electronic mixing.

4. I Dreamed a Dream by Steel Pole Bath Tub. - One of my favorites on the album, In my opinion, sounds very similar to Sonic Youth besides the vocals.

5. Cinderella's Big Score by Twink. - No. Just no.

6. Dirty Boots by Stationary Odyssey. - Another track that needs to have the vocals louder, the playing is really slow. Sounds pretty shitty.

7. Little Trouble Girl by Rapider Than Horsepower. - The same exact thing as I Dreamed a Dream.

8. Kool Thing by Tub Ring. - Pretty heavy. Nice little break in the middle.

9. Making The Nature Scene by KY Prophet. - Decent old school hip hop transitions.

10. Kotton Krown by Elf Power. - An acoustic piece I believe. Not feeling it.

11. Sugar Kane by Parts & Labor. - I Dreamed a Dream, Little Trouble Girl, and Kool Thing are my favorites from this tribute album. I would put this right up there with them.

12. Death Valley '69 by Saicobab. - No idea why they have this on here twice... This is almost as bad as the first one.

I found me copy at me parents' house last night, haven't listened in years. But yeh I remember it sucking pretty hard. Wonder if it would fetch much on ebay.

I don't think so. Everyone who would want it either has it or had it and sold it.

Granted, I haven't heard it in years and years, but I always kind of enjoyed it, dumb as some of the songs were.
