I Love Her All The Time

Absolute perfection. My favorite SY song

Agreed.

Who else thinks the guitar stuff on this song is awesome? Screwdrivers, drumsticks, feedback, tritones, dominant sevenths...

Camper Van Beethoven actually covered Sonic Youth. Bad Moon Rising was a year before II&III

It's about being so in love with someone that you are possessed by them. You think that your SO is always right , you're obsessed by them even though you can't understand them.

I am crazy about this song. I definitely feel like its about a person who is obsessed and in love with someone, and completely withdrawn when they are around just because of their presence. And hell yeah for drumsticks and tritones. Feedback is my favorite genre.

This is amazing. Their first Opus, maybe. Really drives home their inner prog, which they DEFINITELY HAVE DESPITE WHAT HIPSTERS MIGHT SAY

Also the lyrics are appropriately confused, very fitting music for them.

This is a Camper Van Beethoven cover. The original was a 2 minute hoedown, so of course Sonic Youth turned it into a long noisy dirge.

(the original was a long noisy dirge so of course CVB made a 2 minute hoedown out of it)

another favourite sonic youth song. i wish someone cold sing this to me !(:

I just discovered SY's sound listening to this album on YouTube. It's not naturally pleasing to the ear, but it is fascinating and compelling when you commit an open mind to it.
