Reissue: "Sonic Youth - 1991: The Year Punk Broke"



I bought this on VHS for like $5 at the 40watt record store (RIP) in Athens...It's pretty much everything I thought was awesome about guitar music and It's pretty much everything I still think is rad about guitar music.

10cc: "I'm Not in Love"


I was listening to a Jason Lytle interview today on the BBC and he got to choose his exit song - 10cc "I'm Not in Love" - saying that this will be one of the most important songs to him, probably until the time he dies. Naturally I wanted to pay pretty close attention to it. I've heard this song on far away radios, or maybe on a TV in another room or something, but I've never actually LISTENED to the track. The recording methods are pretty experimental and the vocal layering technique creates a pretty rad choral effect. I assumed the band recorded their own vocal samples and triggered them with a MIDI keyboard...not the case.
