Sonic Youth Gossip - what are you listening to?

language smanguage. Take a band like Deerhunter or MBV. I can't understand most of what they say. In the right context, words are just sounds that fit into the sonic puzzle.

no, the best album is a.d.s.r.m, by far. Or get hey bob my friend, which compiles most of a.d.s.r.m and 1st p.

While going through the stack of vinyl I had chosen to purchase, "Ckeck Your Head" was probably the most expensive. I just couldn't resist. It's adding to my excitement of seeing them @ Bonnaroo.

Damn you. When were you there? That means it's gone for me now. I was just in voltage Saturday.

Damn you.

Sorry to do that to you. I was in town for the Mike Watt / Dino Jr. show on the 26th (Sunday), which means I bought ""Check Your Head" on Monday. Trust Me, I had to leave a lot of vinyl behind that I wanted badly, just didn't have enough funds to buy all that I saw. Who ever does, am I right?

True. I hope they restock that one. I might have to request it. Voltage had a lot of nice vinyl when I visited Saturday. I got a Patti Smith boot, a VU boot, and Count Five's Psychotic Reaction (last was a disappointment, though).

But I had to leave a lot I wanted behind, including that Beasties LP and the first two Roxy LPs. I bought Check Your Head on CD when it was first released and my daughter played the shit out of it. It's all scratched up and skips like crazy.

By the way, if you're ever back in town for a show, let me know if you want another body along. I haven't made any music-minded friends here yet.

BTW, it sounds damn good. I can respect why you're hoping to replace a cruddy scratched CD w/ audiophile quality vinyl.
