Kim’s whole backstory about her up and down relationship with her older brother is an interesting take that made for some of her BEST songs. But it’s also interesting how for ME atleast, coming into adolescence and totally devouring everything Sonic Youth I could from age 14- I always thought of Kim as a cool older sister. The older sister I never had. Sounds hella dramatic, lol- but her songs always hit home for me in a way that the Thurston and Lee’s didn’t and she was my total idol & I looked up to her in a big way. As a 14 year old gay kid, KIM was my Madonna or Cher or Lady Gaga. Every Dave Markey music vid and short he’s done is awesome as hell, but I love this one especially because of how Kim is front and focused and plays big sister. The coolest damn big sister you could ever hope for!

This was the song that made me a fan. I was vaguely aware of them and my young ears hadn't been able to get past the fact that they were so abrasive and noisy, nor could any of them sing particularly well in a conventional sense (Lee came closest). But this song, perhaps better than any other, marries that abrasiveness with surprisingly moving arrangements. And it is IMO the best Kim song. Her voice fits in that maelstrom of stabbing, swirling guitars perfectly. I really loved that Sister/Daydream/Goo period. They're still a little raw and edgy, but they were growing in leaps and bounds in terms of composition and musicianship. I appreciate their later output too, but they started evolving into a different band at this point.

Sonic Youth - Cinderella's Big Score [Lyrics] If I could give you anything I would give you a kick You'd rather have a dollar Than a hug from your sis You really fucked up this time Your lady's really pissed She's not just laughing She's polishing her fist If you could give me anything Would you consider a fist? Don't give me yourr soul It's caught in this abyss Here's a pack of ciggies Fresh from the wonderlust A dream, a wish, a heart's desires Cinderella is a kiss A cold is gonna take you And freeze away your tears Hold me closer honey You can be so near Mind your heart aside you Really got no sense of time …

Okay to clear up all this signing to Geffen misinformation, Sonic Youth signed to DGC in 1990, which is DAVID GEFFEN COMPANY, a subsidiary of GEFFEN records. The label's goal was focusing on more experimental and progressive material. THEY SIGNED TO DGC IN 1990 THAN RELEASED GOO. DGC would later wind down in the late 90s leaving only Beck and Sonic Youth in their stable until 2003.
