Well, I donīt believe there hadnīt been music magazines at that time. At least there had to be many underground magazines because itīs not so long time from punk scene. So if there had been some active in Neutral, he would have tried to ask an interviews from the zines.

I think the real reason is that Glenn Branca is also an artist and there was only Josh Baer with him. As far as I know artists donīt want to make that kind of work like promotion and are not even good to it. Itīs very great that mini-lp was released also in europe, but I donīt know had Neutral something to do with it. And of course, if there had been inrerviews in many magazines, the result would have been the same because the people wasnīt just ready for the SY at that time.

I entered the school when they formed the band in ’81, and first heard songs from Goo in the radio more than 20 years ago.

I've been a fan since shortly after Evol was released. Thank God my friend introduced me to that record at that time. I've had the pleasure of seeing them live many times. Such an incredible ride, their career.

I saw them at this one in Baltimore way back: http://www.sonicyouth.com/history/con-set.html

I remember walking to the show (it was like in this restaurant/bar at this shopping mall, very weird) and passing Thurston and Lee at the Inner Harbor talking to some of the guys from Fugazi. Man, wish there were iPhones back then!

It was maybe '94 or '95 when I first time heard Sonic Youth and album was Experimental Jet Set Trash And No Star. I didn't like it (especially noisy parts), but it sounded somehow interesting and fascinating.

It was early summer in '99 when I got scratchy Daydream Nation from local library and it blew my mind. I recorded it to the cassette and listened whole summer almost only that one. In the end of the summer I bought Daydream Nation and Sister CD's.

94-ish around EJSTNS. At first i thought they sounded like smashing pumpkins, who i never liked. Go figure. Around the same time i found dirty on a tape i stole from my sisters boyfriend. Theresas sound world really blew me away. Good times.

I purchased a copy of Goo in early 1992 on the buzz created by the whole grunge movement and on the strength of the 'Kool Thing' single, which was a college rock radio-station staple at that point. The first SY album I anticipated was Dirty and I picked it up the week it came out.

The first time I saw SY live was October 20th, 1992 at Avalon in Boston. SY played two shows that particular evening. The first [late] show sold out before I could get tickets, but thankfully, they added a second [early] show. If I recall the first show started at 6pm and DGC label-mates, Cell, opened up. SY floored me that evening and I instantly fell in love with Kim Gordon and her black velvet choker. I remember Thurston tearing it up and leaving quite an impression. It was a good thing I saw the first show that night, as SY blew the PA several songs into their second set. The first show was definitely the one to be at.

I've seen SY on EVERY single tour since (sometimes multiple times) and have seen them live 18 to 20 times. I've seen them in Boston, NYC, Washington DC, Atlanta, and Athens, GA.

Right on. I'm dating myself here, but I was a junior at Boston University in October 1992. I have another cool SY-related memory from those days. It was not uncommon for Thurston to play noise/avant garde shows at some of the smaller Boston-area clubs back then...places like TT the Bears and the Middle East. I wasn't fully into those kinds of gigs, but purchased tickets to what I thought would be a noise/avant garde show at the Middle East [late 1993, early 1994]. There was word Thurston was working on a solo record and was kicking around the idea of calling his band Male Slut. Anyway, when I showed up to the Middle East that night, much to my delight, I was treated to an entire set of what would eventually become Psychic Hearts. Of course Steve Shelley was on the kit and I literally bumped into Kim in the crowd before Thurston came on. I remember her being tiny...

The next time I would see SY was August 5th, 1995 at Lakewood Amphitheater in Atlanta during their Lollapalooza run. Touring for EJST&NS was challenged due to Kim's pregnancy and this was the only time I saw them featuring material from that album. About a month after this particular show SY would release Washing Machine, but they played a number of songs from it that night. They played a particularly charged version of "Silver Rocket" late in their set that night and nearly melted my brain...

Double shot of

Screaming Sculls for the pre-DGC vibe and
EJSTNS.

Yeah Into the Groove(y) hooked me too. I was 14 ish, so we'd go "skating" or whatever every weekend night to get out of the house. I remember playing Screaming Skulls literally every Fri & Sat night in my headphones as my parents took me there/picked me up. For a good year or two. It was my favorite memory from that period really.

But what is really weird is later, as I was catching up with where they had gone musically, I picked up A Thousand Leaves, and just didn't quite get it. I think it was too developed for me at the time. I like harsher tones, and more standard punk rock i guess?? It's like it was so good I couldn't even perceive it. I think I even traded it in at one point! Weird how things work like that sometimes. Now it's one of my favorites.
