I am sitting here writing code on my laptop and listening to Sonic Youth. I have been on a SU marathon since yesterday. There is something unique about Sonic Youth for me. I don’t listen to them all the time, but when I do it really moves my soul. It sounds like random noise some of the time but it’s programmed deep in my brain. The music can be nostalgic/sad, angry, happy, melancholy, rowdy, haunting, defiant - so many moods. If I had never listened to them before now, in my *cough* later 30s, I don’t think I would like it. Having listened to them so much long ago and remembering them now, it triggers nostalgia-like feelings in me of when I was younger. That can be fun.
Viva Sonic Youth.
PS - They are playing in London on August 31 at the Roundhouse. Maybe I could stop by on the way to Germany! /me wants to go!
