so happy they were...with this "kool thing".

Call me a puss but this was my first remembered exposure to Sonic Youth. I heard Kool Thing on WBRU in Rhode Island in 1990 and that's what opened the door for me. Fond memories and I recall EXACTLY where I was at that moment. Going down Thames St. in Newport right by DryDock Seafood !
In ways Goo and Dirty are pretty straight forward rockers for SY, but they're just as loved by me as their other albums. Of course I have the Deluxe editions of both and have listened to the extra's more than the origininal discs the past couple of years. They're indispensable to me. I'll just have to revisit both original albums this evening, thanks for the thread.
