Sonic Youth live in Hultsfred, Sweden playing Kool Thing 6-14-02check my other vids if you wish. In October of 1988, Sonic Youth would release their 2XLP masterwork Daydream Nation, which left zero room for doubt that the band belonged in the pantheon of art-rock’s greats. Six months later and the goofing off would be over. ![]() The Whitey Album is singular in the Sonic Youth catalog-the only other SY release I can think of that approaches its pure diverse weirdness is the Master=Dik E.P., released six months earlier, the title track of which just happens to be laden with “Ciccone” references. Check out Dave Markey’s video for the Whitey cut “Macbeth.” The Whitey Album included all three tracks from the single, plus a mix of the inane (“Two Cool Rock Chicks Listening to NEU!,” “Silence,” both of which are exactly as stated by the titles), some material that recalled SY’s experimental early days before they fully embraced pop song structures, a bit of spoken word, and a version of “Addicted to Love” (about which, previously on DM, enjoy all the Robert Palmer white-knights in the comments). Two years later, Ciccone Youth expanded the gag to a full album’s worth of, um, stuff. The band was giving vent to a bizarre Madonna obsession in other ways at the time-on their EVOL LP, released the same year, they listed the song “Expressway to Yr Skull” as “Madonna, Sean and Me” on the album cover, and as “The Crucifixion of Sean Penn” on the lyric sheet. Having temporarily re-dubbed the band “Ciccone Youth” in a nod to Madonna’s disused surname, they recorded ridiculous travesties of the pop icon’s hits “Burnin’ Up” and “Into The Groove” (renamed “Into the Groovy”), with the latter introduced by way of “Tuff Titty Rap,” which gave Thurston Moore a fine forum in which to be a complete fucking goofball for 40 seconds. In 1986, Sonic Youth teamed up with Minutemen/fIREHOSE bass player Mike Watt for a Madonna covers 7”. Last fall, we showed you their preposterous video “ Lou Believers,” but there’s much more to share, so let’s get on with it, shall we? ![]() Their later days, it’s all blah blah blah elder statesmen of alternative rock-which, again, yeah, they absolutely were, but they’ve done some funny, funny shit that’s every bit as praiseworthy. Yes, they are of course very very important, so talk of their innovative early days is all alternate tunings, noise, and no-wave nihilism. Instant chords for any song tune into chords.
