i said to a friend: WATCH THIS VHS (The Year Punk Broke) AND THIS DVD (Live Rock en Seine 2004)...
now he likes sonic youth

_slavo_ · 04.20.2006, 10:18 AM

I would probably do with these:

- 100%
- Teenage Riot
- Youth Against Fascism
- Empty Page
- Sunday
- Diamond Sea

...and I've tried the following three with my girlfriend and she really loved them (by the way, she's a System of a Down and Korn diehard, so she doesn't care about indie at all):

- Dripping Dream
- Stones
- Skip Tracer

where did you get that DVD? is it available somewhere?

laserbeard · 04.21.2006, 09:06 PM

i once dated a girl who absolutely loathed Sonic Youth.
i tried a pretty wide swath of different songs from different eras, but nothing seemed to stick. until i opened one the the many mix tapes i made for her with The Empty Page.
now she's a True Believer.
baby steps people.

its difficult.
i'd be inclined to go for their more mainstream stuff like 100%, kool thing etc, but then that isn't really (in my eyes) and introduction to sonic youth...

into the groove(y)
becuz
mary christ
schizophrenia
halloween? not sure about that

if i was getting someone into SY i would like to give them an impression of what they're actually like rather than easing them in, you now what i mean? i don't know if it would work though. i did get a friend into SY by making her a mixtape of a bunch of stuff, but she was a) already into some quite weird stuff anyway, and b) i think she would have liked whatever i put on that cd, so its kinda irrelevant.

it definitely depends on the person. i haven't met anyone who i think wouldn't like ANY sonic youth songs, and so whoever it was you could probably tailor 5 songs to their taste and lead them in from there...
