The SY playlist is what I ran with. It's much more palatable to me than the Strat one although I haven't quite finished it yet. I wish I could tell you what songs I liked best but I didn't catch any of the names during the 48 minutes I was running.

That was the first one I made. The one that trag clowned half the songs on. Also the one I listened to today.

My Strava run today came from a song on that mix. I very, very seldom connect with the lyrics when I listen to Sonic Youth. Their sound is so intricate and visceral that I get lost in it. Running to this mix, though, I heard a lot of these lines for the first time. Something about the way my brain works when I run makes lyrical phrases seep into my brain and swirl around for a while. This one really got me: She's a beautiful mental jukebox, a sailboat explosion. A snap of electric whip crack
It's been stuck in my head all day.

I think ill make a favorite SY mixtape, with the songs i wanna listen from them these days. Not hits, not classics, just the stuff that i want from them in this moment.

Anyone listen to Free Kitten? I see they are on Spotify. Not sure if that's always been the case.

i remember listen to some of it but Kim´s side projects are just...meh for me.
I started making an 80s-focused SY playlist for Strat (and whoever), but I haven't really figured it out yet.

How far back you going? I could always use a refresher mix on Kill Yr Idols/Confusion is Sex + Self Titled. Definitely looking forward to another spenno mix.

I love how she finds different ways to say that she definitely doesn't consider herself a musician. Gives a lot more weight to her songwriting and performing as just one appendage in her entire body of work.
