Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/9/14 3:45pm Parq:

Kurt, I can't see the GIF either. This is an every-week thing for me, and the problem is that the GIF is hosted on a site that's on my employer's "banned" list. I don't know if that's Cecile's problem as well.
Avatar Fri. 5/9/14 3:45pm Cecile:

that's probably what the problem is. I'll bet that's what it is.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/9/14 3:46pm common:

stupid banning employers.

i would love to hear kirk play geo michael! last week somebody on the playlist asked me about my "guilty pleasures." that song might top the list!

Are these background robo lady vocals recursive?

A question I often ask others.

Jeeze! a Beatles song I have never heard!
Avatar Fri. 5/9/14 4:11pm Cecile:

When I still cared about piano, I managed to figure out how to pick out the melody line of this on our old upright.
  Fri. 5/9/14 4:13pm Dean:

Cover of this tune on a recent Hillage issue is pretty darn good: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Steve-Hillage-Band-Unconvention/dp/B008HRK6Z2
  Fri. 5/9/14 4:15pm vanya moscow:

I think, this LP and Magical Mystery Tour is, like, how things should be mixed. Always. And Electric Ladyland. Sorry for obviousness
Avatar Fri. 5/9/14 4:16pm northguineahills:

Not ashamed to say I dig this Beatles tune a lot!

(I remember playing this in '94 in HS, and my friend heard the feedback and thought it was SY, [until the vox popped in]
  Fri. 5/9/14 4:19pm vanya moscow:

Sorry, northguineahills, HS and SY - ?

@Mark: Sheez, thanks ... And I was trying to figure out which state that stood for.

Kurt, thanks for the EastEuro music! Don't know why I love it, but I do.
Avatar Fri. 5/9/14 4:24pm Cecile:

oh, Kurt, you should play James Last's version of Silver Machine.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/9/14 4:25pm Carmichael:

This McCartney tune is abolutely hep!
  Fri. 5/9/14 4:26pm Dean:

For years this LP was one of your typical used bin orphans.
  Fri. 5/9/14 4:27pm vanya moscow:

Yeah, Carmichael, Best McCartney LP. It's like best of everything program today. And those sweet Czech sounds I never heard
Avatar Fri. 5/9/14 4:29pm northguineahills:

Been busy w/ phone interviews,,, not always on the board..
Avatar Fri. 5/9/14 4:32pm fred:

@ngh: interviews, as in job interviews?
@Kurt: I didn't remember how much I loved those old Bush Tetras records
Avatar Fri. 5/9/14 4:34pm Cecile:

a low point for SY.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/9/14 4:35pm Carmichael:

I thought this was Siouxsie and the Banshees at first.
Avatar Fri. 5/9/14 4:36pm northguineahills:

Yeah. The calls earlier for two positions didn't give me many details. Waiting for call backs now.

Hey, I like Goo! (then again a low point for SY isn't too low).
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/9/14 4:36pm Carmichael:

@vanya: Kurt gets down weekly (usually) with the cool Czech pop!
Avatar Fri. 5/9/14 4:37pm Cecile:

this and Experimental Jet Set made me sad. . Then they came out with Washing Machine/1000 Leaves/NY Ghosts and Flowers. Happy. Then Murray Street. sad.
Avatar Fri. 5/9/14 4:37pm fred:

@ngh: good luck!

Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/9/14 4:40pm common:

cecile: rather ripped made me sad. sounded like a break-up. guess it was.
Avatar Fri. 5/9/14 4:42pm northguineahills:

I thought Thousand Leaves was one of SY's best albums including the 80s. The rest, listenable, and fun in short bursts, but yeah, not to great.

Thanks everyone!
Avatar Fri. 5/9/14 4:43pm northguineahills:

to=too
Avatar Fri. 5/9/14 4:43pm Cecile:

They were phoning it it. And yet they got some of the best notices of their career. Go figure.

ITA ngh, 1000 leaves is great and kind of underrated.
Avatar Fri. 5/9/14 4:44pm Guido from Cologne:

so many differing moods about Sonic Youth ...
i loved Goo but Washing Machine was the most surprising in being one of their best achievements
Avatar Fri. 5/9/14 4:45pm fred:

@Cecile: that late 90's era also brought the first SYR records and the Silver session
Avatar Fri. 5/9/14 4:45pm Cecile:

Washing Machine was great, and so was that tour.
Avatar Fri. 5/9/14 4:45pm Cecile:

SYR and Silver were also very good.
  Fri. 5/9/14 4:49pm blee:

Is that an Adventure Time reference IKE? I just started watching that with my daughter.
Avatar Fri. 5/9/14 5:17pm northguineahills:

@Mike: I've watch the whole series all by my lonesome.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/9/14 5:19pm Mike East:

@ngh - I would, too. the 9 year old just gives me a good excuse...my wife looks at me funny when I watch weird cartoons on my own...not that I let that stop me.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/9/14 5:20pm I.K.E.:

Yes indeed, Mike. Some of the most recent episodes were wildly psychedelic and blasted my mind wide open. Over time the show becomes much more mature. Finn has grown up as the kid voicing him has grown up. In most cartoons, nobody ages.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/9/14 5:23pm Ike:

For anybody still not convinced: www.newyorker.com...
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/9/14 5:25pm Mike East:

That's the article that got me watching! I think she writes great reviews and has pretty good taste.
Avatar Fri. 5/9/14 5:27pm northguineahills:

Yeah, some episodes you have to watch a few times just to figure out what's happening. My mind gets blown, and it's trippy (as in the positive connotation) to boot.
Avatar Fri. 5/9/14 5:28pm Cecile:

I'm kind of addicted to My Little Pony right now.

Cecile, I've heard that's good, but I'm terrified that I'd be assimilated into the bronies. Not gonna touch that with a 100-foot extension cord.

You don't have to go to Bronycon to enjoy the show
I just watch the show. I don't participate in any boards or buy any gear or any of that.

Yikes, that's a creepy thought, Cecile & Mike. I didn't know that existed. Please don't tell me more.

Nah, I know, J/K. Still a little vaguely terrified though.
