AND NOW I AM FUCKING STOKED.Soul music with the D.I.Y. attitude of punk, filtered through the instrumentation and musical forms of Ireland.

Sonic Youth is a band that on paper I should also be all over. I have been digging into mainly Daydream Nation, Goo and Bad Moon Rising throughout the last year or so and look forward to trying this one out soon.
I also read Girl in a Band and unfortunately cannot echo the recommendations for it here. For a SY superfan I can see it being interesting, but I thought it was very scattered and Kim came across as pretty self-absorbed (not to the extent that Thurston clearly was, of course, but still not well) and, for lack of a better word, uh, boomer-y?
I had to give up after about 50 pages. It was making me twitch so much while reading it.Read this and you'll recognize Kim Gordon as Shakespeare. It's like spending 4 hours with a junkie endlessly riffing. And I'm pretty sure that's exactly how it was written...

I had no idea what to expect from this. Obviously I've heard "Come on Eileen" before but had no idea what the rest could possibly sound like. This album is fun as hell! Might be a 4/5 for me.
Did they actually have other hits? Before today I couldn't even tell you the name of the band that sang "Come On Eileen"All of their first 3 albums are brilliant and fun as hell. Unfortunately this might be one of the worst pressed albums I own. Crackly as hell. From that plant in Poland that clearly doesn’t give a fuck.

He does have good taste.Actually if we’re talking Dexy’s we need @Murfocakes input. He’s the Dexy’s and Kevin Rowland superfan around these parts.

I was at Dexys during the week in Dublin. Absolutely brilliant. One of the best live acts about.He does have good taste.
Like I wish I’d known this earlier.
It’s like when I met my wife and we realized just how close we had been to meeting each other over time, it was like I could have had more time with you!!!
