very short and incredibly awesome.
this and the whitey album are what turned me into a hard core youth fan. after seeing them one summer at the cbgb. WITHOUT EVEN REALIZING IT!!! the marquis said "playing tonite: drunken butterfly"
...not being a fan, and the album having just come out, didn't catch the reference. i said... "sure, why the hell not? might be a cool band...." 15 minutes later my friends and i were asking ourselves "why have we never heard of Drunken Butterfly?? this shit FUCKING RAWKS!!!"
we left the club to meet up with some other people who were over at the limelight... but the line there was around the block, so we went back to cbgb... there was a crowd in the street out front. as we got closer someone asked us, "did you guys see sonic youth? i heard they were playing here."
i said something like, "no... but we saw the opening band... drunken butterfly or something?" the guy looked at us and said. "that
was sonic youth you idiot!!
true story.
