I really love Sonic Youth. They are one of those bands that everyone with a Pixies CD sweats, but nobody really listens to as much as they have been touted. Let's face it, when was the last time you put on the Made in USA soundtrack while you cleaned your apartment?
Most younger Indie rock kids give this band no respect, and why should they? Sonic youth is noisy, with tons of feedback. Much of the stuff they've done in later years has been basically noise, especially live. Plus the album that most people have heard has been Dirty, which in my opinion, is their worst one.
This band defined the sound that became "Indie Rock" and did a damn fine job of it. If this band has a spot in the top three bands of my generation. They are Rock and Roll in every sense of the genre.
My name is RockZombie, and I freaking love Sonic Youth.
Were there a romantic step taken in this relationship between this girl and I, we would probably tear each other apart like a pack of dogs. It's not for lack of attraction, believe me. At one time I would have killed someone in order to get close to this girl in a way that I never had a chance to. As things are, I am still way interested in getting closer, if availed the opportunity. Unfortunately, I believe anything romantic or otherwise would be much more short lived and messy then a strong platonic friendship. Yes it's a decision I came to after the fire was already going out, but I suppose that just makes it an easier commitment to make (the effort became too much to handle on my own). Of course, it's instances like that one, right there, that make me fall in crush all over again.
On to new challenges...like try to find a girl who listens to The Jesus Lizard. Viva that one girl, thanks for adding warmth to the season.♥
I am thinking about moving to somewhere in California. Not any time soon, sometime in 2007, I think. Denver is my home, it will always be home. The reality is that I can't be comfortable living in one place for the rest of my life. After bouncing around for so long, it seems stale to just become comfortable in one place. I just realized that I have the ability to do whatever I want right now. My job will let me work from anywhere I am at. I am doing freelance work again, so I have a little more coming in. I have friends scattered all over the United States and Canada. We're always talking about visiting each other.
Since I have spent a decade on the East Coast, I believe California is the next logical place to go. In a year or so, I can pack my car, throw some shit in storage and sign a six month lease somewhere in SoCal. I can see how this may be construed as escaping adulthood....Well, it is. I can get my mid-life crisis over early. I can be 30, drive a snappy car, date younger girls, and when I'm actually middle aged, it'll all be out of my system. Not a bad theory if you ask me. Maybe I should buy a motorcycle, get fat and grow a big, long beard.
Today I made the best sandwich ever.

I'm very intrigued but don't quite get it.
