[Dr. MB]

1 of the best bands of all time

[If my soul was made of stone]

Criminally overlooked album. Honestly might be my favorite of theirs.

[Santander]

It might be mine, too. When someone tells me they're a Sonic Youth fan and tell me Daydream Nation is their favorite album, I take it with a grain of salt, if they tell me Sister or Dirty, my first thought is they're trying to be a hipster, but if they tell me Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star or A Thousand Leaves, I know I'm talking to someone who's actually listened to a lot of Sonic Youth.

One hit wonder from the 70s.

[If my soul was made of stone]

For much of my life I've lived just a stone's throw from the hippie private school where these guys met and did a lot of acid together, and I thus feel a deep resonance with the sense of place that much of their best work holds. I wish I'd been more aware of them when they were in their prime.

I don't know why I'm listening to a song that's helped me through several romantic disappointments now that I'm happily in the most stable relationship of my life, but maybe it's just relishing in the bucolic spirit of it all.

Absolutely embarrassing, when there is so much great Italian music to listen to, although somewhat forgivable since I assume the Pope the song refers to would be none other than Pius IX.

I agree 100% that as music it’s nothing special, just vulgar 19th century noises - but it’s the message that counts. It indeed refers to none other than the Supreme Pontiff of the One True Church, the infallible Piux IX himself.

You should know though that I am listening to plenty of Arcangelo Corelli, Tomaso Albinoni, Evaristo Felice Dall’Abaco, Antonio Vivaldi, Francesco Geminiani, Pietro Locatelli, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, and various others; so I am well aware of how much great Italian music there is.

When I said great Italian music I had in mind more Lucio Dalla, Lucio Battisti, Fabrizio De André, Francesco De Gregori, Edoardo Bennato, and other such people; but fair enough.

When I think of great Italian music my first thoughts are Luigi Dallapiccola, Luigi Nono, and Giacinto Scelsi.

Nice! You are slowly being reeducated

Seriously, a great song for an album which will always have a special place in my heart as one of the first I really connected with.

I’m starting to suspect that this is just one big bait-and-switch operation...
