I thought Theresa's Sound World was Lee at first. It is a bit low for Thurston

forkimified · 04.23.2008, 06:19 PM

For some reason I always remember Disappearer as a Lee song, until I actually listen to it or see the video.

I only ever knew them for 100% and Teenage Riot until a few years ago. I liked those songs, but never bothered looking into them more until I found a bunch of tapes at Value Village. Wow.

HECKLER SPRAY · 04.23.2008, 06:27 PM

Before listening to them, I thought SY was a 6 guitars - band, like guitar army or someting like that. In fact, the first time I saw a report about them, it was about Lee and Thurston's cooperation with Glen Branca. I thought Glen was in the band.
I'm an idiot.

I thought Lee was singing on Theresa's Soundworld when I first got Dirty too.

ZEROpumpkins · 04.23.2008, 08:00 PM

Shit, isn't he? I haven't heard that song in ages, I thought it was Lee.

I bought Rather Ripped.

Also, I used to believe that Thurston was the only one who did good songs - I used to only like Teen Age Riot, Silver Rocket, Candle, 100%, Sugar Kane, Youth Against Facism, Dirty Boots, Tom Violence.
And I used to think Sister wasn't very good - I thought it was too "pop" and Schizophrenia was the only good song.

When I bought SYR5 on wax, I didn't bother adjusting the RPM and thought it was just this badass slow, sludgy experimental album. I knew the album was experimental beforehand, so I just assumed Kim's deep slowed down vocals were meant to be heard that way

anyone with that single should play it at 45. it fucking rocks hard like the old minutemen

i wasnt the only one then!! i mean they could have printed 33 rpm on the fucking label!!!

i used to listen to experimental jet set a lot and make excuses for its poor quality!

ZEROpumpkins · 04.24.2008, 05:50 AM

ZEROpumpkins · 04.24.2008, 06:22 AM

I know! It gets so much flack here, I prefer it to Dirty.

pokkeherrie · 04.24.2008, 06:28 AM

I also had the Thurston/Lee vocal thing with Dirty (first SY album I heard). It took me months of listening before I realised that Wish Fulfillment wasn't sung by Thurston.
