SYR 2 could be "a thousand leaves deluxe edition disc 2" because "slaapkamers met slagroom" is an instrumental version of "the ineffable me" and "stil" sounds to be an instrumental version of "snare girl". so it's equal between albums and syrs

syr1 is my favorite. tremens is groooovy.

indeed. in fact the band premiered alot of a thousand leaves tracks live as instrumentals before atl was released.

instrumental stuff rocks harder than song stuff. it is more serious. i mean i like massage the history as much as the next alterna-rocker but, vampires? come on! give me instrumental over that stuff any day!

Tremens is excellent. My favourite of SYR-release is probably SYR3, but I like all of them.

i have repositioned myself. now i am thinking the lyrics are worth pondering (once again!) i am going to listen to A Thousand Leaves to see the progression in my minds, since I just listened to Confusion is Sex. But all this SOnic Youth research is so self-serving. What about electoral politics, war, holidays?

Think globally (hard to do when we're at war) act locally.

But to speak to the thread: what about the disc put out with Lee, Thurston, Montera and Mazzacane Connors, MMMR? Pretty sweet...

Bemp. LOL.

Actually, I keep hoping that Sonic Youth will do an 80min CD = 40min of "songs with choruses" and a 40min "difficult piece" at the end. Or something like that. ie Make an album that is half and half. Don't even list the 40min bit on the cover. A hidden gem. Hahaha. The best of both worlds.

tremens is one of their best tracks ever.
