I see comments like this under every great band. I have suspicion, that they are often the same one guy, he jump from one song to the other and say: "Hey, the Siouxiee and the Banshees must be the greatest band of all!". And then he play some Sonic Youth, and he writes: "Sonic Youth, hell yeah, the greatest band in all generations!". Then he plays some Chopin, and he writes: "Music today is not like it was in the past...how can you compare Shakira to Beethoven?". ;) Well, I do exactly the same...
i love this song so much. ..purchased the LP the day it was released. always loved the WSB cover art and felt it captured the tone of the album perfectly.
I was first introduced to Sonic Youth when watching the movie "Kids" and loved the soundtrack. Had to find out more about Thurston Moore and here I am. Doesn't get old.
A societal artifact. It's the year 2000. Yes laptops are omnipresent sure, but folks are still fortifying their wandering bored minds with .... BOOKS!! They're actually sitting on sofas turning pages of magazines and novels without grabbing smart phones.
@sevennationarmy2 I hear they're just going on a break though, and that they are actually thinking about making a new record in the future. You can't really trust me though, I wouldn't call myself a fan simply because I don't really know them that well. I was scared off years ago by receiving the entire collection of their discs all in one go and so the pile was just too high for me to get into properly. But I watched the year punk broke and I've fallen in love. Will have to find all of the cds
KIM, KIM ALL I CAN SAY IS I TRULY DO STILL LOVE YOU ALMOST 25 YEARS LATER YOU TO ME MAKE WHAT I BELIEVE WHAT A REAL JUNKIE IS TO THE END STILL STANDING TALL, ANGRY VERY VERY ANGRY !!!LOVE MAJENTA
logan zepeda Yes, it's a common word, but it also happens to be the title of the major Nirvana album, and Sonic Youth were very close with Nirvana. Obviously Sonic Youth putting out a song entitled "Nevermind" is going to have some connection to Nirvana. Sonic Youth would have to be a hopefully stupid bunch of idiots if they didn't think of the connection. I don't think they're that stupid.
I hate to say this and people are going to hate me for saying it but this sounds a lot like Slipknot's 'Danger - Keep Away'. Or slipknot's track sounds like this which ever.
She looks her age. That said, Kim Gordon is reminder that 25 years old isn't the maximum age for being hot or uber cool (though I'm not sure many can be quite as cool as her).
As for Michael "kiddie fiddler" Jackson, I do believe the tone of her skin is lighter than his, in its original shade at least. Ditto for 2pac. I hope she's not fiddling her kids either.
When I first read the title I thought immediately is this a sideblow at Nirvana? Listening to the lyrics I am even more convinced they had a go at their successors. Am I the only one?
I kinda doubt it, just because Sonic Youth were early Nirvana supporters and never really demonstrated the resentment some bands of that era felt towards them (particularly the Melvins come to mind). If it's a reference to Nirvana at all, it's more likely that it's about their rise to stardom and the toll that took (which Kurt himself wrote a lot about) than a dig at the band themselves.
Kim Gordon's face is kinda the female version of David Bowie. Hehe.. But the way she sings is kinda like Kurt Cobain. :D I love this band! I love grunge! And I fucking hate the world!!! Lol
Surprised nobody has mentioned this so far, but notice that 3 of the women in this video are the members of Sleater-Kinney.

THE 'NYC GHOSTS AND FLOWERS' ALBUM IS THE BAND'S MOST LITERAL TRIBUTE TO THE CITY'S CONGESTION, AGGRESSION AND ADDICTIVE PROMISE.

I will always love Kim
