Some deep lore behind this song. Kim interviewed LL Cool J for Spin magazine and he kind of blew her off. When they were in the studio recording it Chuck D happened to be in the next booth and they asked him to come in on the song. Not their best work but among their most popular.
4 minutes before you even watch. I fast forward to the video and will react again once you do. I'm 100% un interested in your opinion prior. EDIT. while watching. I'm 100% impressed you said Chuck D.
Great band and song but like one of my other favorite bands Radiohead who sound nothing like Sonic Youth, they're not for everyone but when you get it or it clicks it's awesome.
Radiohead is massively popular friend. Sure they aren’t Top 40 but they were among the top rock and alternative bands in the late-90s and early-2000s. And that popularity persist today as they have nearly 30 million monthly listeners on Spotify and well over a billion listens. Much like Tool fans, Radiohead fans have this weird perception that they’re niche and underground when that couldn’t be further from the truth. Not saying either of these bands are bad, but their fans have a real pretentious streak and y’all need to be a little more self-aware. Saying Radiohead is not for everyone is like saying tacos are not for everyone.
@@justinb864 Radiohead gets a lot of hate thrown their way and they are very unorthodox, the farthest thing from top 40ish I could possibly imagine. They've only sold like 30 million albums, which is nothing to sneeze at but not even close to the numbers that a lot of popular bands put up. If they kept making rock albums I would agree with you but even a lot of fans hate their more experimental stuff and their sound varies so much from album to album and that pisses a lot of their fans off as well. I think they're like my generations Beatles but they generate so much negative chatter that I have to disagree pretty strongly with you. I do get what you're saying but have you ever listened to something like the King Of Limbs it barely registers as rock or pop or anything remotely like that and so does a couple of their other albums. The massive listens are mostly their early more radio-friendly stuff and those fans don't listen to anything after OK Computer trust me.
Steve Shelley is such an underrated drummer. Great band that helped define what would be the 90s sound.
The chorus is a reference to LL Cool J's "Going Back To Cali", who the song is about.
Great song such an influential band
Just listen to Daydream Nation the whole way through and stop playing
Kim was their most intense vocalist. Check out her solo stuff. She's over 70 but still gnarly and noisy
Yet even she was cheated on by Thurston. What does that really say, cool thing?
This is about as straight forward a song as Sonic Youth ever did.
Nah. That would be 100%.
A song even Henry Roins said was in poor taste

Yawn
I'm not a fan but love this track❤
What!!?! I must be an elder millennial, sonic youth was my jam
They've had a multi generation spanning career. 👍
