for some probably unlistenably messy, dissonant, and grungy but still i think its so fun and annoyingly catchy and really really good! - honestly a really funny thing for sonic youth to do at the peak of madonna's fame

They knew her from her association (dating etc) with Basquiat as part of the downtown art scene of the late 1970s. Thurston’s memoir goes into this in a bunch of funny detail.

completely disgusting album opener. the open hi-hat in the groove is sickening, it slices straight through the rest of it like some kind of flying disc. makes me go a little bit crazy

I love the Sonic Youth vibes on most of Voyeur's work, but they really stand out to me when they really lean into a super grungy sound. It's cool to see a fresh take on grunge in 2024, which feels like a natural reaction agains the hyper polished and electronic soundscapes of the 2010s. The song "Look Through You" sounds disgusting (compliment) live. Jake's guitar riff rattles room, filling it with noise, and the "and everything turns to blue" chorus give me the chills every time.

I play skyrim (hearthfire expansion>>>) like i play stardew valley, i do cutesy little side quests for the benefit of the community, i have my little homestead and i want to get married and adopt children and i take no notice of the civil war playing out around me... on the other hand i have modded the sims to almost unplayability (i have a broken extreme violence mod) and try to play that as close to gta as possible

Full Kate Bush theatrics and all! Ok admittedly I’ve never been to karaoke but I feel like I’ve been training my whole life for this song - I can hit every high note and I have the music video choreography engrained in my mind - I’ve done a few award worthy performances of it any time I’ve heard it played in a public place
