NOTES:

  • Title supposed to be "Ham Radio", but there's no direct Esperanto translation for it. "Amateur Radio" comes close.
  • In a pre-Leaves interview, Thurston joked that the new record would be titled "Ham Radio" and feature a picture of Sally Kirkland riding a hog.
  • Until Four6, this was the longest track on a Sonic Youth release (except for the Sonic Death tracks, which are collages).
  • An excerpt from this piece appears on the Condo Painting soundtrack as "Radio Amatoroj (edit)".
