Is it "Afraid Of Americans" from Bowie's birthday party? That's old school.

Yes it is.

I remember it from tv, but it was years ago.. when I was watching it and I didn't know who sonicyouth are!

This Is Not Here 12.27.2008 12:31 PM

I'D NEVER SEEN THIS! Ahh, thats SO brilliant, thankyou for posting this even if it is old news for most of you. What year was this?

acousticrock87 12.27.2008 12:38 PM

I've never heard it before. But my guess is, Reznor was too busy so he resorted to "those Sonic guys."

SuperCreep 12.27.2008 12:51 PM

Well, I've never seen it before, so thanks! Pretty crazy to see SY and Bowie on the same stage. I never saw any connection between them.

barnaclelapse 12.27.2008 01:04 PM

It's still awesome, even if I have seen it before.

No, actually Bowie has really good musical taste and probably knows way more "underground" bands than we do.

acousticrock87 12.27.2008 04:36 PM

I know, I was joking. I love Reznor, too.

Me too. Though I haven't heard YEARZEROREMIXED, THE SLIP or GHOSTS I-IV yet. I don't know what happened there!

acousticrock87 12.27.2008 05:02 PM

They're all pretty different, and his stuff is extremely preference-based so it's hard to judge whether they'd be good for one person. But I'd recommend Ghosts. It's just a really weird fucking album, and a lot more interesting than the other two. Sometimes I hate it, and sometimes I love it. It's very random, and worth it just to have when you feel like it. The other two are more standard NIN.

And I'm sure you know, but here's the The Slip and the free 1/4 of Ghosts.

noisereductions 12.27.2008 05:08 PM

Earlier in the year, when they came out I still had dialup, so it was a real pain in the ass to download them. I figured I would buy the full GHOSTS but never did. I wasnt crazy about YEAR ZERO. I thought it was okay, but WITH TEETH was way better.

acousticrock87 12.27.2008 05:11 PM

Yeah, I think With Teeth is my favorite album by him, along with Downward. It didn't get the appreciation it deserved, I think, cause it had more pop elements. I liked Year Zero a lot when it came out, but it didn't last very long. But there are a few awesome tracks that I still love (Vessel, Zero Sum, In This Twilight).

David Bowie and Sonic Youth should do a collaboration album
