where de red fern grows
 

I just bought the Sonic Youth first EP and I'm amazed by this album. It's worth listen to where the red fern grows that seems is a kind of previous version for I dreamed I dream. I just needed to tell that I love this album. Sonic Youth rocks!

It is indeed an early demo version of I Dreamed I Dreamed, one of my favourite SY tracks ever.

I saw the new sonic EP reissue for a fiver....i had £4.30

Should've haggled

it's great isn't it

I Dreamed I Dream has always been one of my favorite SY tracks. The Burning Spear is great too.

I love it. It's sort of a very dreamy LP.

This thread makes me wanna play hooky from work and go home and play that record. Damn.

Yeah, this EP is amazing and I Dreamed I Dream is also one of my favorite tracks ever... Too bad they did play it live only once...

yeah, where the red fern grows it's so amazing i can't describe it with words, such a awesome instrumental jam.

I love the drill in Burning Spear. I don't understand how that works, though...Do electric drills have an audio-out jack or...what?

He used a microphone, silly.

Hm. I guess. It said he played it through a wah pedal so I always assumed it meant directly. I guess that makes sense though...Heh.

it's a great re-issue that cd. I love the noise freakout in "The good and the bad", great stuff.

I want that ep so bad, maybe Ill see it somewhere tomorrow. I hope I do.

i have it already but we sell it at work for $15.00. what a fucking rip off.

IDID fucking rules:cool:

HAHAHAHA! wouldn't that be cool...plug that fucker into a Marshall stack.

It says that in the liner notes. Most of the bonus songs are earlier versions of the songs on the original EP.

Maybe he held the drill near the pickups on his guitar. I've hear it said that if you do that, you should make sure the drill is not plugged into an outlet (for safety reasons). I'm not sure why that is.

Ya I think that would sound better. But I don't think it would work so well it it's not plugged in...I wonder what effect holding the drill bit against a mic stand would have...

If you have an electric guitar on the pickups will pick up the electomagnetic motor of the drill. Any power tool will work. so rummage through your garage and don't cut off your finger.

i got that EP a couple of weeks ago. i really love it. i love the burning spear, the good and the bad, i dreamed i dream, and where the red fern grows. they really were amazing from the very start :p

i read somewhere (here?) that he used a contact mic on the drill (into the wah-wah/amp), which was the first thing that's ever made sense to me since i first heard the track.
