Sonic Youth - Bull In The Heather (Official Music Video)

[@Revelwoodie]

For anyone confused by the "(C) 2004 Geffen Records" in the video description, this is what happens when people renew their copyrights with re-releases. This album came out in 1994.

[@krystalfloods6197]

revelwoodie thank you! That actually did confuse me!

[@luisfloresapril]

The internet wasn't like today. There wasn't any recordlabels owning anything in a computer back in 94.

[@supermarx]

You can't actually renew a copyright (especially on something created after the 1970s). It's just a bold lie on their part.

[@Revelwoodie]

@@supermarx You can, actually, if you remaster the recordings. Which is almost certainly one of the main reasons UMG tried so hard to hide the damages from that fire. If an artist sues them, and they can't produce the masters, they may very well lose their rights.

I still remember when I first saw this video clip on TV, as a teenager living in Jakarta, Indonesia around 1994, and instantly I fell in love with Sonic Youth and wanted to be like them, even though I already knew Nirvana and another grunge bands. But I know Sonic Youth above them all...

[@Shlogger]

I love how the "riff" is just a couple of distorted noisy notes through a delay pedal. So completely separate from any pop friendly tunes but instantly recognizable to fans. Still one of my favorite songs on one of my favorite albums.

When I was a 14 year old highschool kid in 1992 I had to wear my sister's sonic youth shirt to school I thought I was super cool. It wasn't till I was a little older that I then appreciated how good they really were. I used to have a VHS tape of them and Dino Jr and nirvana it was mind blowing how ahead of there time those bands were

It really bothered me when Kim and Thurston got divorced. When I was a teenager they were the coolest alt rock couple alive. It just seemed like they had the perfect marriage, money, music, art, cool, touring. I guess nothing is ever what it seems. I read Kim's book and you could feel the pain of her divorce and the betrayal she felt with Thurston's affair. Whatever his reasons it just felt she deserved more then that. I hope she has found some happiness all these years later, she certainly had a mark in my life.

Kim Gordon was so damn cool (still is). She was always the best part of Sonic Youth, and one of my personal idols.

[@crab-dogjones4659]

Gordon has done an amazing job of turning her weakness into a strength. She's one of the most consistently flat singers in music yet has leaned into in such a way that it totally works in context. With the raw vocal material she's working with there's a hundred ways she could have been bad and only one way she could have been good, and she found it. I guess it means if you don't have a traditionally "good" voice, don't despair, find a context it works in. Les Claypool is another perfect example. He's got good pitch but his timber is...unique. Try to imagine him fronting just about any other metal band to see what I mean. Yet in Primus it's the only thing that makes sense.

They were an influence but so was all alternative and grunge, bands like the Pixies etc. They had direct influence on bands like Nirvana (Kurt wanted to write songs like them and Pixies) But they deserve more recognition? They’ve had a shit ton especially Thurston Moore. Only someone either super young or just discovering this music for the first time or just generally ignorant would say Sonic Youth hasn’t had enough recognition. There’s plenty of bands for whom they actually aren’t recognized enough - you should seek them out.
