It's my second favorite by only a tiny bit, and I feel like it doesn't get quite the love it deserves. Guitar-wise, the title track is mind-blowing. When that long feedback note comes in after Thurston's solo? HELL YES. And Kim's guitar-as-a-bass thing she has going on for most of the album is pretty interesting to me, as a bass player who can't quite get into guitar.

If I'm driving somewhere and "Washing Machine" (the song) comes on, and I'm less than 9 and a half minutes away from my destination, I will find reasons to extend my drive to hear that entire song. Magic.

About the playing cover material just like the original, in my opinion there´s no sense. I think it´s much more interesting if somebody makes and plays his own compositions. And if somebody plays covers, it´s interesting if you put there also something own, I mean play it on own way. But of course that´s only my opinion.

I have done exactly same thing, if there has come some song I love on the radio. :) It´s very shame, that they play Sonic Youth very rare in Finland on the radio. :(

I Looked Up, I Looked Up
Ssssscccreeeeeeewwwwwccccchhhhhhhaaaaawwwww

That reminds me... "SKIP TRACER" is the only SY song I've covered. I actually can't find it at the moment on my computer, anyone have it and can upload it for me? I contributed to a board comp many years ago.
