Yep, and that bass tone that d-rail responded to that launches the "My Friend Goo" track was the recording engineering work of T & Butch Vig or perhaps tweak-boosted in mixing by T & Andy Wallace and it seems to be Butch/Andy on trial more than anyone in demonr's post and I can understand where he's coming from (like Lee's Mote vocal tone sounding sorta '90s), but only to a certain degree.
Mildred Pierce is actually one of their earliest songs and is in standard tuning.
And the songs for Goo were written right alongside the songs for Daydream Nation for the most part, so the whole popular notion of them doing a 180 or whatever with Goo is a bit of an invented one. Although, Goo is, of course, the first album for which they were able to first really craft something in a recording studio with known music biz types, and yeah this naturally led to both pros and cons.
Most of the album is in the F#F#F#F#EB tuning, so there are some similar tones at times throughout; I suppose that's why Titanium Expose got all caught up with Kool Thing to demonrail666.
TitEx and Cinderella's = give it up for th3 funky drummer hee. Tunic and Disappearer (I can't help but find d-rail's remarks about it offensive er ah maybe that's
my problem) are classic Sonic Youth.
I forget where I rate Goo overall; I think I put it seventh the last time around. So ah, don't think that I'm freakin' with ya too bad...I'm just stating some basics rather badly. willingly incogoofyherent&
