 (1 Customer Review)
Combining Sonic Youth's first full-length release, 1983's CONFUSION IS SEX, with its followup EP, KILL YR IDOLS, this disc shows the New York noise-guitar quartet at their most uncompromising. Where 1982's self-titled EP sounded timid and too beholden to guitarists Thurston Moore and Lee Renaldo's mentor, composer Glenn Branca, these two releases combine Branca's methods--including bizarre tunings and guitars attacked with screwdrivers, vibrators and other implements.
These techniques are juxtaposed with sloppy punk rock, as demonstrated by the cacophonous opener "She's In A Bad Mood" and a startling deconstruction of the Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog." The mood on KILL YR IDOLS is even darker and more claustrophobic, from the title track's attack on Village Voice critic Robert Christgau to the appropriately-titled "Shaking Hell." Heard in retrospect, it's clear that these two records contain the inspirational seeds for much of the '80s and 90's alternative scene that followed in the wake of Sonic Youth's innovations.
CONFUSION IS SEX now includes the KILL YR. IDOLS EP.
Recorded at Wharton's Studio and live at The Pier, Raleigh, North Carolina in November, 1982; and at Plugg Club, New York, New York in October 1983.
Sonic Youth includes: Thurston Moore (vocals guitar); Kim Gordon (vocals, bass); Lee Ranaldo (guitar).
Producers: Sonic Youth, Martin Bisi, John Erskine.Spin (6/95, pp.100-101) - 8 - Very Good - "...stands as the great document of early Sonic Youth. Those wind-chime crazy-tuned guitars still sound like a self-inflicted wound; wanting to be rock'n'roll animals again, Sonic Youth chewed off its leg, i.e. the blues, to get out of the classic rock trap..."
Entertainment Weekly (3/31/95, p.62) - "...CONFUSION IS SEX is [Sonic Youth's] funniest, hardest-rocking, and most underrated album ever..."
- Rating: A-
Q (5/95, p.132) - 3 Stars - Good - "...it's not full-blooded punk as some might expect but more spacy, eerie, meandering dynamics, rife with atonal tunings and anxious vocals, true to the band's original avant-garde, minimalist influences....the sound of confused, sexy, bratty, novel, experimental, attitude-ridden New York with guitar-knobs on."
Melody Maker (5/4/96, p.58) - "...Traces of The Stooges and The Velvet Underground can be heard....`Inhuman' and `The World Looks Red' are repetitious Krautrock mantra-drones whose arsequaking rumble is deeply pleasant..."

From the start of the piano-laced "Radio" by the Walkmen, it's obvious that listeners are in for a ride when listening to This Is Next Year: A Brooklyn-Based Compilation. That song is followed by "I've Got a Fang," which is new territory for They Might Be Giants. The song is a hard rocker, with John Linnell's vocals noticeably lower than normal. The diversity of sounds coming out of the New York City borough is evident with what comes ...
| | Berlin Project Things We Say CD (2003)
Confusion Is Sex/Kill Yr. Idols album
$9.39
The Berlin Project isn't a Terri Nunn tribute band and isn't from Berlin, Germany. What it is is a Pittsburgh-based alternative pop/rock outfit that has evolved considerably since its formation in 1995. After favoring bratty ska-punk on Culture Clash and equally bratty emo/punk-pop on The Transition Radio EP, the Berlin Project reinvents itself once again with 2003's Things We Say. Some punk influence remains, but the bratty, teen-like snarling is gone -- and a more polished, mature, sensitive band has emerged. Why the makeover? Different reasons can be cited. First, lead guitarist John Garrighan -- the Pennsylvanian who founded the Berlin Project when he was only 14 -- was older. He was 22 when Things We Say came out in 2003, and this CD is ...

Positive Energy (PE) is a group that evolved at the beginning of the new millennium. PE articulates a form of Hip-Hop that exonerates the medium from its negative portrayal and renders it as a true art form that is responsible for fueling a culture. Way beyond monotonously simple concepts, mindless lyrics, and contrived music, PE has a sound that is nurturing to the common ear -invoking thought, reflecting and analyzing life's realities, and inspiring the soul. The group consists of a two man team dedicated to the continued progression of Hip-Hop music and culture. Prophecy - Derrick Dolphin aka the Vision and DUB Colossus - Errill Nelson are two veterans who have endured throughout the years honing their skills, navigating the trails, and overcoming the trials that emerge in human existence. They have arrived in an era where change is paramount; global issues are at the forefront of debate; and human kind has reached the tipping point on multiple fronts such as the economy, the environment, and war.As socio-economic conditions around the globe dissipate and getting by continues to become more difficult, major main stream media saturates the public with ganstarized images of artists who promote lifestyles that perpetuate hopelessness. Many of these artists create songs that have no substance with content that insults the intellect. They promote gangsta values, violence, silly dances, brand names, narcotics, alcoholic beverages, and automobiles. Rappers orate about living lavish; however, their audience straddles between poverty and a sub-middle class existence. The subject matter of most rap songs distracts the masses from what they really should be focused on -becoming educated, making an honest living, and taking care of their families. Instead millions of young people and adults make poor life choices focusing on the ancillary -that next high, fresh new kicks, or rims for their Toyota Corolla. Who wants to hear about 'poppin bottles' when the rent is past-due? Many rappers of the 21st Century are narcissistic troubadours who gloat about money and material possessions when millions of people who comprise their audience are living check-to-check or are even unemployed. People deserve options beyond what is in heavy rotation on urban radio, which determines what gets played on video programs and also encourages what is sought out on ...
