OLD NEWS

September 11th, 2002

Updated all of the "last known performance" dates for the songs performed on the Murray Street tour. Also added note to "Heather Angel".

June 14th, 2002

2 more entries: "Derniere Minute Electrifee" and "Le Paysage Zim Zum", both taken from the limited edition bonus 10" free w/ some French versions of "Murray Street".

NOTE: the tour is on and technically i should be updating the "last known performance" statistics for many songs after every night's set list is in... i'll try and keep on top of it, but don't be surprised if i update in batches. the concert chronology will always have up to date set lists, though. ROCK!

June 6th, 2002

2 new entries: "Coca Neon Kamera Sutra" and "Audience", plus official lyrics for "100%" "Swimsuit Issue" "Drunken Butterfly" "Shoot" "Sugar Kane" & "Chapel Hill" (thanx to snoo-pee from sonic bbs!).

May 22, 2002

Added 5 new entries -- 3 pieces from the "Things Behind The Sun" soundtrack, and 2 bonus tracks on various versions of "Murray Street". Also updated "Social Static".

May 14, 2002

Official Murray Street lyrics from sonicyouth.com now added.

April 29, 2002

Added some preliminary, pretty quick interpretations of Murray Street lyrics (w/ many holes), also proper track times and notes, etc... Hopefully sonicyouth.com will have the official lyrics up soon!

Big news, folks... the Sonic Youth Information Database has changed locations, and is now being graciously hosted by sonicyouth.com -- to celebrate this exciting move, I've fixed every song file on this page (all 364 of them!) to hopefully correct the screen resolution layout problems (the site is designed for 800x600 and the tables were restricting the appearance to those parameters, which is hopefully now fixed -- let me know if things still look awkward for you). So those who use resolutions exceeding 800x600 should probably notice a difference, if I did things right...

New info on "Murray Street" is surfacing daily, including apparent discrepancies between the track times of an early German promo and the actual forthcoming album. These claims are still being investigated, browse the forums @ sonicyouth.com for more information...

Expect more updates soon, and please continue sending me any information you think may be of interest to readers. The site's new location is @ http://www.sonicyouth.com/mustang/sy/song.html -- please update all links if necessary!
