Sonic Youth 1998-04-25 (Anagrama)

Head of Wantastiquet - Dead Seas lp. Check it out man, I'm sure you'd love it!

is it out?
how is it?

leaked. i like it.. it's better than TML. perfect for those late night listens.
all of the features are super dope.

wet hot american summer avatar!!

ha! yeah :)

"you taste like a burger, i don't like you anymore"

great album. Though he has a lot of great albums.

"I want you inside me! Oh, no I was just saying what's up. From before."

Wayne used to be such a beast.
i love this album, brings back so many memories.

hell yeah. Carter II is my favorite, but this album is so sort of untouchable in a weird way. Like it encapsulates him at that peak, and it definitely captures this moment in time. It was the last time i've ever seen so many people out in the middle of the day looking to buy the same album. So weird. Now the store I bought it from is closed, like most other records stores taht aren't in malls and charge $18 for a CD.

btw, I wouldn't quite say he's fallen off either. I think you know I liked Rebirth but that was just out of so-fucking=crazy-I-love-it feelings. I Am Not A Human Being was good, at least better than a stop-gap in jail release should be. But I have to say Carter IV is really good. Certainly not as good as II or III, but I like it a lot. I think it's actually pretty solid except for the fucking T-Pain song.

Carter 1, C2, Like Father Like Son, Dedication 2, Da Drought 3, The Drought Is Over 2, C3, No Ceilings..
are all my shit, i can listen to them all day.
but i just can't take Wayne after that era. the hunger is not there anymore.
still, he had a quite legendary run throughout a few years.

btw, surprisingly he did much better on Take Care than on any verse from Tha Carter 4 for me.
gives me some hope for the future..

I'm surprised you don't like C4. It's definitely better than Rebirth and Human Being. I mean tracks like "John," "Six Foot Seven," etc definitely feel like he realizes he's got something to prove again. I don't know. I like it a lot. did you like the Young Money album? I thought it was damn good.

kind of love how these three covers align, band name in flux, encompassing heavy avant drone rock and pastoral folk ambiance as points on a continuom...
