sonic youth are an entity that can get away with virtually anything artistically. they could say "hey,our next record is going to be an accoustic folk album, total dylan meets young meets mitchell", and leave the fans curious/excited on some level. ...a band like metallica, who im not a fan of but acknowledge they were once really good at what they did, cuts off their hair and loses half their fan base...haha....probally good they never did a accoustic/folk or noise record.

i love sonic youth. ive met some of the most amazing minds ever as a result of being into that band. i find, while some sy fans can be a bit stubborn/snobbish regarding their tastes, they are almost ALWAYS intelligent/intellectual sorts.

the day that band breaks up/one of them dies...i will cry. i may not know all of them on a "lets have a beer level", but i consider their music to be one of the best friends ive ever had...i mean, sonic youth records always have my back. no matter what im feeling, theres something in their ever growing/HUGE catalog that speaks to me on a personal level.

im in love with what they do. if i could make physical love to it, i probally would. < as long as krissy could join in.


haha

This is what I'm sayin. Prefuckincisely.
