i got a free compilation CD with a magazine which included death valley 69. this was the first song i heard and i was slightly indifferent to it at first. i gradually grew to dig it quite a lot. then when sunday came out, i saw the video on jools holland and i became obsessed by his band and this video. i requested from my aunt for christmas either a thousand leaves or hello nasty by beastie boys. she got me a thousand leaves.
initially i hated ATL (apart from Sunday). however, i remained fascinated by Sonic Youth and after doing some research, got Daydream Nation next. I was instantly hooked, listened to it every day pretty much. i was 14 and began a uniquely adolescent obsession with sonic youth. i gradually acquired their entire back catalogue. i remember getting dirty and being blown away. first time i heard sister was quite a revelation.. i actually bought EVOL, Sister, and Bad Moon Rising all at the same time.. that was a good day... one day i was skating through edinburgh with a friend when i found a tenner on the street which i used to purchase washing machine. good memories.
