Sonic Youth
So yeah, I’ve been a Sonic Youth (official site) listener for the longest time, which I’ve mentioned here from the very start. I’ve been planning to add a sound fragment to this category, but every time I end up doubting … Continue reading
SXSW 2012 (part 3)
So, the final list of tracks worth listening to: or rather the list of tracks that made it to my audio device. Over time (time permitting), I’ll add links to the artist’s websites but for now you’ll have to do … Continue reading
Hate My Way
I‘ve been a long-time listener of the Throwing Muses music: I was actually a Throwing Muses fan before I started listening Sonic Youth (previously on xsamplex). However, I’m not going to write about the hows or whats: the reason for … Continue reading
Against The 70’s
The only reason to get Mike Watt’s very first solo album, “Ball-Hog or Tugboat” was because his name had popped up on Sonic Youth’s ‘Whitey Album’ (and others). If I remember correctly, I wasn’t overly impressed with Watt’s album: It … Continue reading
Washing Machine
I was watching that story unfold about that 700 billion dollars bail-out, and I was just thinking, hey, maybe all they need is a washing machine. I saw the political theatre of American presidential elections where a presidential candidate suddenly … Continue reading
Moby Octopad
I brought up Yo La Tengo a couple of times, skirmishly, I admit (previously on xsamplex). I discovered the band via the ‘regular musical path’: As a fan of Sonic Youth I ended up listening to Yo La Tengo. I’m … Continue reading
Ca Plane Pour Moi (1977)
Then, earlier I was listening to my MP3 collection, when Sonic Youth’s cover of ‘Ca Plane Pour Moi’ (sample, 500K+ sample)comes up. I’m not sure if Thurston Moore is just improvising, but it sounds like it. Pardon his French, so … Continue reading

A lighter
A lighter note: I see that Sonic Youth (wikipedia) is about to release a new LP/CD, ‘Rather Ripped’, in about a couple of days. Sonic Youth’s site is actually an oasis of older stuff (QuickTime videos, MP3 songs) they did, … Continue reading

Bow wow wow
While preparing snapshots of music from Sonic Youth, for a new addition to the ‘Past-The-Bridge’ collection, I decided to turn the clock back a bit more (once again

Sjako’s ‘Hurt’
I have been thinking to feature Sonic Youth’s ‘Bull in the heather’ in this Past the Bridge item, but ended up bubblesorting Sjako’s ‘Hurt’. Eh. Sjako is a Dutch band that has been going through plenty of personnel changes since … Continue reading

Which Vega?
Talking about not-wasted talent (they do exist, trust me), I see that Suzanne Vega’s still around. I consider her one of the better lyricists around, probably on par with the other lyricist I can appreciate, Leonard Cohen. Um, I wouldn’t … Continue reading

Streaming music
Earlier, I marvelled about CBCRadio 3’s concert recordings archive. Most of the artists are pretty unknown, for me at least. But Sonic Youth? Blonde Redhead? Interesting. How do you record streaming music? Audacity, naturally. Audacity has a range of professional … Continue reading
