DIRTY was my favorite Sonic Youth album after Sister for about a year. I overplayed it during a very hot, lonely, emotionally heavy summer. Seriously, it was the only tape I had, and I was driving an old Camry with no CD player.
After a broken heart and a lot of weird mornings waking up in odd situations with LSD residue fogging my vision, I think the album started to take on an cerebral, nostalgic feel for me, and it was hard to listen to it for a long time.
JC is the saddest song SY ever recorded. It has no equal in that regard. I can't even think of another song that has a similar feel.
