Rock out, like right now. I mean it. Just
go crazy and start rocking out.
Doesn’t that sound stupid to say?
The idea of “Rocking Out” is equal parts energy, spontaneity and love of
music. You can’t ever be told to
do it, but you can’t not do it when you hear the right music. For everyone it might be slightly
different music, but the principle is the same. Daydream Nation was my first Sonic Youth album (I know
because you never forget your first Sonic Youth album,) and I’m still rocking
to it to this day.
The
intro is an ambient rift that builds tension in a way that very few other
albums can. As it build up the
drums are added, and when all the air has been sucked out of the room the main
rift comes in. The song is a
little off the beaten path for these guys, but it still remains one of their
best songs. If this doesn’t make
you rock out where you stand then you best be lookin’ else where (by that I
mean a different article. Please
don’t leave!)
