Trace paper flying word
Trace paper flying word break
City skoot hi
City skoot hi alert
Kill us your skum fight blooze
Kill us yourr skum fight blooze blues
Johnny winter
Johnny winter no show
B.B. King just turns on
The New Hampshire boys
Steve and Joe
Have gone beyond
Doing it for life
Unlike buddy guy who has
Decimated the riff bat with one
Hypertonic
Note lead on
Lead on

| chedak (Somewhere-over-the-rainbow, KS) | Posted: Mar 30, 2013 - 10:42 This is a good rocker! I've heard some earlier Youth from the early 90's, but this one really catches my attention. |

OMG! just don't touch it....just dance....watch the glow and enjoy :-) You need one of those new Svetlana Tube amps with four 6146's in the final .. 1,000 watts RMS .. and they don't even get warm. |

| aspicer (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Oct 24, 2012 - 15:16 We could definitely use more Sonic Youth on RP! |

| Tippster (Washington, DC) | Posted: Feb 14, 2012 - 17:45 Bit of an Homage to Joy Division in the beginning, eh? |
| gemtag (Texas) | Posted: Dec 29, 2011 - 11:50 Love the Sonic sound! |
| oldsaxon (United Kingdom) | Posted: Dec 01, 2011 - 05:23 I really like this one. |
| triskele (here) | Posted: Nov 27, 2011 - 18:05 i always think this is radiohead |
| grant | Posted: Nov 11, 2011 - 12:03 Great track by the masters of beautifully harnessed noise, Sonic Youth. Hope to see them live one day. |
| aspicer (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Nov 11, 2011 - 12:02 YES! Please more Sonic Youth on RP! |
| cohifi (Denver) | Posted: Oct 10, 2011 - 22:49 The younger gens seem to be ahead of their times......Fred ?.....anyone |
| carlos65 | Posted: Sep 09, 2011 - 12:00 2004, wow, sounded more like early 80's English band |
| ralphf (Osaka, Japan) | Posted: Jun 26, 2011 - 16:23 Pretty good tune. Thinkin' the band may now need to be called, "Sonic Middle Age." |
| Grammarcop (The end of the Pointe) | Posted: Jun 23, 2011 - 05:01 To accurately capture New Hampshire, the song needs the roar of a Harley somewhere in the background. |
| helgigermany (Germany) | Posted: May 06, 2011 - 12:52 Nice! |
| lemmoth (NYC) | Posted: May 06, 2011 - 12:51 one of heaviest songs played on RP - and that's in a good way |
| apaethy | Posted: Apr 04, 2011 - 21:22 Heard this and remembered how much I love this song. |
| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Mar 23, 2011 - 22:01 This is such COOL electric-surfer music. I need this stuff to listen to while I'm getting chores done, and then afterward, I'd love it for a workout. Can't do crunches to it, but it's frenetic enough to keep me motivated until everything was accomplished. |
| petrfas (Prague, Czech Republic) | Posted: Dec 08, 2010 - 06:07 hey, that is the guitar piece!!! |

| shmuelman (Denver) | Posted: Aug 30, 2010 - 10:56 Sonic Nurse is an all around great album and more accessible than some other of Sonic Youth's stuff. |
| paulmack (the hissing swamps) | Posted: Aug 30, 2010 - 10:52 I like this song more and more all the time. Kind of melodically dissonant. Wouldn't want them to completely give up their trademarks. |
| RedGuitar (Iowa, USA) | Posted: Jul 29, 2010 - 11:11 Like this tune! |
| 4merdj (donde el viento se devuelve) | Posted: Jul 29, 2010 - 11:01 My kind of nurse ![]() ![]() ![]() |
| hippiechick (topsy turvy land) | Posted: Jul 10, 2010 - 07:48 Still don't like you guys, sorry. |
| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Jun 27, 2010 - 13:55 This has such an infectious beat that I can't help tapping my foot and forgetting what I'm supposed to be doing. Fun song!![]() |

| Tippster (Washington, DC) | Posted: May 07, 2010 - 17:47 So great. |
| Danimal174 (Upstate South Carolina) | Posted: Apr 29, 2010 - 13:08 Hmm...a Sonic Youth song I really like. Interesting. |
| mcYammer (Beervana) | Posted: Apr 29, 2010 - 13:01 definitely a sonic afternoon check, thurston! |
| petesoper (Apex, NC) | Posted: Apr 21, 2010 - 08:31 This is a classic, signature piece that expresses the vibe of RP for me. |
| hippiechick (topsy turvy land) | Posted: Apr 09, 2010 - 09:24 SY is a band I really liked until I bought their CDs and now I can't stand them. |
| ra990 | Posted: Mar 28, 2010 - 21:22 Thought this was Radiohead for a second... |
| rumblekg | Posted: Mar 24, 2010 - 09:49 play more of this! |
| azdcryan (Sunny Arizona) | Posted: Mar 24, 2010 - 09:49 Keep going B&R...the last 4 songs have been fantastic! You're on a roll, and I have to join a conference call in 5 minutes...but I'm going to keep you playing to drown out the noise on the other end of the line. Thanks RP... |
| piefection (Hatetown USA) | Posted: Mar 05, 2010 - 09:56 This sounds quite a bit like Rain on Tin. |
| unclelonghair | Posted: Mar 05, 2010 - 09:54 One of my favorite quotes is from Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth. Reporter: "Why are your guitars out of tune?" Moore: "They're in tune, they're just all tuned differently." |
| FrankMc | Posted: Feb 25, 2010 - 07:50 I love the word mondegreen. In the immortal words of CCR: "There's a bathroom on the right." Also love Sonic Youth. Thanks to RP for getting me to buy this album. Excellent. fredriley wrote: "kill us your scumbag blues"?? Nice big noise, though - 7 from the mondegreen-afflected Nottingham jury. |

This has such an infectious beat that I can't help tapping my foot and forgetting what I'm supposed to be doing. Fun song!
