Sonic Youth – Skip Tracer Lyrics 18 years ago
I really like the change of pace that Lee's songs bring to the band. I dig that beat poet thing he's got going on...Pipeline/Kill Time is a fucking masterpiece, but Hey Joni is kinda lame...This is one of my favorite SY songs.

Sonic Youth – Youth Against Fascism (Hate Song) Lyrics 18 years ago
Thurston actually didn't want to put this song on the record because he didn't like it. The rest of the band insisted, so that's why it's the "song I hate".

Sonic Youth – Death Valley '69 Lyrics 18 years ago
Manson? Sex? Drugs? Death Valley? '69? Yes, folks, that's what it's about.

BTW, Lydia Lunch is one of the most important women in underground rock, art, and all around social deviance from the early 80's.

Sonic Youth – Candle Lyrics 18 years ago
I read somewhere that Lee and Thurston were reading a lot of Philip K. Dick novels during the Daydream era, and that some of the lyrics are based on those stories...I think Candle and Eric's Trip were a couple of those.
