This guys fr had the best band name ever, because they do still represent that name w their sound to this day. One of the best bands to ever get as popular and influential as them.
@@janhoggart I would like to know which video you talking about, cuz I genuinely don't remember ever commenting anything about the Beatles in my entire life lmao
me too. Maybe Mark Ibold could Bass for Kim until she feels comfortable being in a band, and seperates the emotions from being in a relationship? Or are they all just to close? And its a long gone dream?
It's great to see how SY weave together their creative resources to create the perfect show. It's almost like SY are reborn in artistic Talent. So lucky to see a great band find their perfect day.
That Glenn Branca footage looks incredible. It's so hard to hear anything from the 1983/84/Symphony 4 time- would love to see more footage of this and related concerts.
There have been bits and pieces of 'Physics' I've found and lost on RU-vid over the years. The Arleen Schloss tour diary is pretty interesting, and shows a bit of Thurston and Lee, and snippets of music: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-snWveI-MdSw.html But I've never come across full Symphony 4 performance anywhere.. That's a major shame because the parts I've heard are really exciting, musically. My dream is to go back in time and attend one of those performances, haha
@@electrikkar, but instantly adored everything I listened to.. If only there were a time machine that we could access, I could spend a decade easily just bouncing around to attend various concerts, from the infamous opening night of “The Rite of Spring”, to Bird’s heyday helping create bebop, to Trane’s ballistic free playing, to Warhol’s Exploding Plastic Inevitable VU parties/shows, every Bowie variant of the 70s, plus CAN, Neu, Faust, all the krautrock, to every essential New York scene/band in the 70s and 80s… basically the lyrics to “I’m Losing My Edge”, like all those band mentioned (that’s an LCD Soundsystem track, in case you don’t know what I mean)… I could spend a massive chunk of life just floating from experience to experience, not that I’m not excited by current art and music, but it’s hard to not feel like I missed out on all the greatest shows, bands, scenes, etc, that will ever be. Anyway, sorry for such a long reply, but I appreciate the link and recommendations, and will definitely be checking this out! ✌️
Really cool, thanks! I’m glad The Algorithm (blessings and peace upon it) decided to throw this my way! I think this was the most polite I’ve seen them in interviews from the more early years, though I also can’t say I’ve watched a ton. Whatever the case, I wish stuff like this still existed on television, or online (it probably does, but idk where to look), and I wish Macy’s still did that video thing, and I wish I knew where to sing in one of those booths. I adore Ciccone Youth’s covers on that album, though I’m more partial to Thurston singing “Into The Groove” (or “groovey”). Anyway, I guess I should shut the fvck up. Thank you! 🙏✌️
Soms kijk ik wel eens met verbaasde ogen naar de steden die we in Nederland hebben. Ik was student in de jaren negentig, ik heb die periode waar bands zoals Sonic Youth heel groot werden bewust meegemaakt. Amsterdam in die tijd was vol met tweedehands zaakjes en een zeer gezonde underground scene. Maar de laatste keer dat ik in Amsterdam was, was het echt een themapark geworden. Helemaal gesanitariseerd en zielloos. De Red Hot Chili Peppers op de uitmarkt dat kan nu echt niet meer, Nederland behoort aan de dance. En Alternative zelf? Kijk naar de Opposites, die zeggen Alternative te zijn, maar hun muziek maar vooral hun HOUDING spreekt dat tegen. Als in die tijd Alto was dan was je mellow, chilled out, lekker tekeer gaan op de muziek maar verder hoorde je op de achtergrond, je was tenslotte Alternatief. Alternatief van gabbers bijvoorbeeld. Dus als ik een stad in Nederland binnenkom en ik zie hoeveel er is verandert en ik weet hoe het was dan heb ik zoiets van "Hoe heeft dit kunnen gebeuren?"
U heeft volkomen gelijk. Amsterdam is een poppenkast geworden met allemaal verwaande toeristen die denken dat ze er al jaren wonen en wederzijds respect is er ver te zoeken.
Courtney Love doesn’t have any street cred = 0.0% Kim, on the other hand, is ALL street cred = 100% If they came out and played in 2023, Kim would solidify her status as a rock superstar forever! And the other guys could ride on her coattails along with her.
it was profoundly relevant at the time albeit looking back one could suggest they we're moreso an experimental band that opened the doors for the shape of things to follow.
That was one side of the coun ( edit: COIN ) and Nothing's Shocking was the other. Maybe?? Something like that. They both kick started "Alt" culture. As something marketable to "Gen X"
@@cheapthrilll6323 i think it goes something like this: we were daydreaming out loud into which became today also because we loved the rush (in my 20s during, having the best time of my life but daydreaming still while others were wide awake)
I saw Sonic headline in the mid 90s. They were incredible live. A total surreal experience. I wouldn’t say their my fav, but certainly among bands I like a lot.
this is just fucking amazing. I understand why Kurt liked them so much. Sonic Youth were seeking something different in the 80s, they were honest, experimental and they were not mincing their words when it came to criticize anything
Rumor was she lived above the liquor store on Hill st. I seem to remember Some kids approaching her and complimenting her brother and she wasn’t nice and yelled at them.
I think it was meant more in way like “you’re not trying to impress other bassists or join master musicians, just do your own thing” which would make sense
