beefheart talking briefly about sonic youth

atsonicpark · 05.14.2008, 03:25 PM

I'd never heard this before and found this kinda interesting... not anything important but funny, from a 1991 interview (http://www.freewebs.com/teejo/argue/wherebeef.html):

trying to find out if he keeps up at all with developments in the rock world, i ask if he has ever heard of sonic youth?.
phonic youth? what was that?

no, sonic youth. sonic.
i briefly explain what they're about, list a few album titles.
'daydream nation' - that's an interesting idea. i hadn't thought of that before. that's what i was trying to do with 'trout mask replica' - wake up the daydream nation. you know, i'm really big in russia. they know my music over there. have you ever heard of zvuki mu?

sure. when they came here they called me up. they wanted to meet me. i was very flattered. changing the subject, what do you think of 'twin peaks'? isn't david lynch wonderful? what about 'eraserhead'?

The emphasis certainly is on 'briefly', or if you want to be more accurate: not at all.

Talking of seminal but nonetheless weird old crones talking about SY, does anyone have a link to the interviews where Mark E. Smith slags off SY?

Short a mention as that it is, it's still kind of awesome.

atsonicpark · 05.14.2008, 10:12 PM

Yeah, that was the point, hah.
