Sonic Youth

Hello, and welcome to my music blog.  Five days out of the week I will try to link to a video or audio file for your listening pleasure, to a band that fits a weekly theme.  Sometimes a will ramble, sometimes I won't. This week I will be focusing on some great alternative music.  My goal is to stir up fond memories, or introduce you to new bands.

The first band I would like to link to is Sonic Youth,  my first introduction to them was through the album Goo, their first major label release,  which is still my favorite.  I have recently rediscovered them and have been listening to them nonstop for the last couple of weeks.  To me their music is summery, and sensual.  I love the sustained chords and alternate tunings they use to create their haunting melodies.  I love the dreaminess of a lot of Sonic Youths songs, their melodies can turn from beautiful and happy sounding to dissonant with dark undercurrents in a few seconds.  With that said here's a link to the song Sunday from the album A Thousand Leaves.
