I want you to levitate me
Don't you love me yet?

Turn up the treble, don't forget

    Kim Gordon's vocals were one of the reasons why I became such a huge fan of Sonic Youth in 1990. They're distinctive and otherworldly compared to what I had heard up until then. She sounded almost disturbing at times. And I love her bass playing. She's one of my all-time rock and roll heroes.

    Nah, Kim's lame. And you all know it.

    I like this video because I've always wanted to explode blue paint on people.

    love the song, WORSHIP the video. There are TONS of hidden meanings in there, and it's generated such confusion for those that can't dissect metaphors that point fingers at their own precious popularity. I LOVE YOU SONIC YOUTH!

    I don't love the album, but this is a very solid rock track and chances are if more songs on the Eternal sounded like this, i'd like it a bit more.

    It's great, it could have been longer of course but at the same time I like it as it is.
