a funky story;
december 2001, chuck schuldiner is dead and i am mourning his passing with my cousin in a far a way town. his idol was kurt cobain so to "cheer me up" he thought to put up KURT & COURTNEY, the documovie, cuz he knew i always fell in love with conspiracy theories and also to show me that also his hero had died.
the version he had was taken from a tv broadcast which had a series of 90ies vids attached to it at the end of K&C.... so we ranged from the mandatory SMELLS LIKE TEEN vid to some SMASHING PUMPKINS tune... the videos didn't have any kind of info on them.
and then a band with a girl on bass popped out of nowhere, these guys playing at a party ...and scenes of a dead guy? in the lawn? what the fuck is that?
we strived to find the band's name to no avail, and the net seemed to point out to the fact that the band was most prolly SONIC YOUTH. which we thought it was impossible - "this vid is from 92, it can't be these guys, they look like fucking 14 years old in there... it would mean they were in their 30ies at the period... impossible".
right on, it was 100% but we couldn't find out.
and i HATED IT with a passion!
i could not believe that my cousin liked it!!!
so he started looping the tape for around 40 times per day. the same song, again and again.
we still weren't sure about who the guys in the vid were. and that song was bugging me big time.
at the end of the week i came back to my town, went shopping and found a DIRTY cd for 7 euros.
bought it, came back home, played it.
100%.
BANG!
since then....
i was hooked.
not to mention that 5 months later SY played in my fucking island, in my fucking town.
B-BANG!
i was hooked forever.
so i guess it might take some time for each of use to tune into noise and make it sound good for ourselves.
