Hallelujah. And speaking also of great moments in music + great song openings, the moment in the beginning when the ringing high bass note drops a couple of octaves & hits the gas, I love that moment.

edit: I thought this thread was about kim gordon...

Excellent thread. Such a sprawling tangential re-unifying morass.

So good, this the slight ghost of RANK!!

SA referring to Public Enemy's music as an "average party record with a siren" = NOT CRAP

One of my favorite moments.

I think Kim Gordon is not crap, because very much of her songs is good for me.

But is never become clear to me if she have ever learn to play instrument like serious person.

I have listen to every album of Sonic Youth from first EP in 1981 to Nurse of current era and is not sure to me if musical skill of this woman improve at all.

Is not important to me whether Kim play like pro or not. Is just that all

keep mention that is her good playing of bass that is liking to them that I

am not understanding of. I am of same opinion to all Kim supporters that

she is very vital and venerable figure in scene of rock. But have anyone

heard Sonic Youth bass line containing more than 3, maybe 4 notes?

Last: Why is she need to be dissing Mariah Carey on "Nurse" in song "Mariah Carey and the Arthur Doyle Hand Creme?"

Is Mariah Carey not exceptionally easy target in current day and age?

Is like kicking dead horse when he's down or flogging fish in a barrel.

I like Kim's playing and voice. She was a hottie too. And I really like Kim Gordon's panties. And also like Public Enemy. As well as the Sex Pistols. I do not like the nuge. Hmm I think that's it.
