In the early 2000's I saw Linklater's criminally underappreciated SubUrbia and "Sunday" infected me. I bought the (out-of-print) soundtrack and listened to that song 1000 times.
Shorly thereafter Assayas' demonlover caused a minor stir at Cannes and I copped the SY-dominaterd soundtrack. This music was decidedly not rock and roll, but it beckoned in the way that only their stuff can.
A month later I got Nurse on a total whim (the cover looked cool) and it pulled me into a vortex of unmitigated sonic hysteria from which I have yet to fully recover.
The only two major SY releases which I haven't devoured are EVOL & BMR. My hands-down favorite for now, though, is the monochromatic NYC Ghosts & Flowers.
