Sonic Youth Expressway To YR Skull 1991-The Year Punk Broke December 25, 1992

in #sonic6 years ago


"Tonight, I am going to defecate onstage," responds Thurston Moore while interviewing himself in The Year Punk Broke. Interviewer Thurston responds, "Well there's a fine line between clever and —" and then it cuts right to "Expressway to Yr. Skull," which lord knows is the only power ballad to begin with "We're gonna killlll the California girls." Moore shushes everyone for the big quiet pause before "…to your skull," when everything jagged and whirling about this band comes back rushing in for six minutes of junkyard feedback and amp noises reminiscent of an entire factory being impounded into a trash compactor. Since nothing can possibly follow it, the documentarians roll the credits.
