When did you start Listening to the Youth? - Page 5

My cousin introduced me to EJSTNS. I was about 13.
Been fascinated by their sound and Kim ever since..

My friend had bought Screaming Fields of Sonic Love, I was 15. He made me listen to the first few tracks and I was like, why doesn't this music rock? This sounds like shit. I was into horrible, horrible music back then. Like Smashing Pumpkins... So sad, but I ended up buying EJSTNS and even though that is probably their crappiest record it propelled me into the inexplicable beauty of the Youth. Word up.

It was like a year or two before Rather Ripped came out. I had heard of them and like the name and was in a record store and just bought Washing Machine, it blew my mind. At that point in time i never heard anything like it. They still blow my mind frequently.

Somewhere between Bad Moon Rising and Evol. What was the rest of the question?

High school. I coped my brother's Daydream Nation album. 2001, I believe. I was 16. Didn't really look in to the rest of Sonic Youth's catalog until later.

When: Two weeks ago.
Why: I thought Goo had a cool cover and I've heard so many good things about the band so I bought it and the music hooked me instantly.

I'm a proud n00b!

It was 1989 or 1990, when they showed SNUB-program on Finnish television. There were many interesting indie bands. There was a interview of Sonic Youth and they showed "Teenage Riot" and "Providence" -videos. I was not then very impressed about the band, only a little bit interested. Then I read in the end of 1990 review for "Goo" and thought, it might be good christmas present to my older brother. He liked it, but I liked it much much more! Then I borrowed "Daydream nation" from the library and ilked it lot too. Somebody bought "Dirty" and I recorded it on the c-cassette, like "Goo" and "Daydream". My first Sonic Youth lp was Sister. In 1994 I was total fan and I bought every album that is available in Finland.
