rate my SY mixCD

auto-aim · 04.21.2007, 08:04 AM

I put together a CD to try and turn one of my friends who's interested onto sonic youth... I think I'm normally terrible at this type of thing because I usually totally miss the mark. So I don't know, does this work for you? or think it would for someone who hasn't heard them.

1. Becuz
2. Rain on Tin
3. Rain King
4. Sunday
5. 'Cross the Breeze
6. Titanium Expose
7. Skip Tracer
8. Starpower
9. Sugar Kane
10. Pacific Coast Highway
11. Hey Joni
12. Stones
13. Beautiful Plateau
14. Pink Steam
15. White Cross

Torn Curtain · 04.21.2007, 09:05 AM

I think it's a good list for an introduction.

SYRFox · 04.21.2007, 10:24 AM

Ha! You forgot Ghost Bitch. Best song for Sonic Youth novices.

king_buzzo · 04.21.2007, 10:33 AM

Add the diamond sea and inhuman

PAULYBEE2656 · 04.21.2007, 12:02 PM

nice list, all great songs to poke a sonic virgin with. personally i would have added one or two pre shelley tunes in like inhuman and maybe she is not alone or i love her all the time. no diamond sea?????? i certainly would have included that but then again that would take up a lot of time on a cdr, and also.. silver rocket, a must for any sy novice!

Yeah thats really good... What a great mix. Maybe swap Rain King for Saucer-Like and swap Becuz for Teenage Riot.

guitarpro · 04.22.2007, 12:15 AM

youthoftomorrow · 04.22.2007, 05:00 AM

3. Rain King
4. Sunday
5. 'Cross the Breeze
6. Titanium Expose
7. NYC Ghost & Flowers
8. Starpower
9. Sugar Kane
10. Pacific Coast Highway
11. Hey Joni
12. New Hampshire
13. Beautiful Plateau
14. Pink Steam
15. Death Valley '69

auto-aim · 04.22.2007, 09:33 AM

Yeah, Silver Rocket was on there at one point and like you said Diamond sea is just way too long - when theres already a few 6-7min+ songs on there too. New Hampshire was on there too at one point.
And I would have loved to have put I Love her All the Time on too or something and was looking at something off confusion is sex but had only two minutes to spare so gave it to white cross.
I'll let you know when i get an oppion back if you like - if my friend hates it or loves it :P

LDopa · 04.22.2007, 10:27 AM

Teenage Riot was my first SY song, and I think that Silver Rocket and maybe Incinerate would be good contributions.

fluxequalsrad · 04.22.2007, 12:20 PM

just for fun. I'm bored

1. Schizophrenia
2. Unmade bed
3. Bull in the Heather
4. Silver Rocket
5. Skink
6. Mote
7. Loop Cat
8. Rain on Tin
9. Skip Tracer
10. Expressway to yr. skull
11. Unwind
12. Kool Thing
13. French Tickler
14. Peace Attack
15. Teenage Riot

Neongod · 04.22.2007, 01:27 PM

You've got to catch their interest in the first song. Though I love it, Becuz is not a great opener for a newbie. Go with the obvious: Teenage Riot. I also suggest Mote instead of Rain King. Then replace Beautiful Plateau with the radio edit of Diamond Sea (don't kill me...it's for the sake of CD space) and put it at the end.
Just my opinion...you did a pretty damn good job. Not too scary but still revealing.

guitarpro · 04.23.2007, 09:22 AM

New Hampshire
Tom Violence
Mote
Bull In The Heather
Stones
