how even though I only really discovered SY about 4 years ago, they have been around my entire life, forming just two years before I was born. All this time, their timeline had been running parallel to mine, and I never knew of them.
I was born only months after they came out with Confusion Is Sex.
My dad found out he had cancer, they put out Daydream Nation.
I was in kindergarten, as they released Goo.
Our house fire was sandwiched between Dirty and Experimental Jet Set.
My dad died the year of Washing Machine.
My Grandmother died the year of A Thousand Leaves.
I got my license, and Sonic Youth put out NYC Ghost & Flowers.
It wasn't until Sonic Nurse that I actually heard them, besides any accidental hearings that I wasn't aware of, and it wasn't even until seeing them in concert in 2006 that I truly fell in love with them.
Just crazy to think about.
