Balls and Walnuts
more than you ever wanted to know
Sonic Youth
Been listening to Daydream Nation lately. It’s one of those CDs I picked up in the mid-90s (when CDs were still kind of a new thing) that I still listen to, still come back to. Got turned on to them about the same time as I started listening to Swans, another off-kilter punk band of that same era. But while Swans is a defunct band, Sonic Youth is still turning out new albums more than thirty years after getting together.
If there’s one song you’ve heard by Sonic Youth, it’s probably “Bull in the Heather,” from Experimental, Jet Set, Trash and No Star. Here’s Kathleen Hanna and Kim Gordon both looking absolutely adorable.
Punk’s still got legs.
