Biography

Sonic Youth, which initially comprised guitarist / vocalists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo, guitarist / bassist / vocalist Kim Gordon and drummer Richard Edson, were formed in New York City in 1981. A product of the No-Wave music scene of the late 1970s, the group had their roots in abrasive, experimental music, with Moore and Ranaldo having previously worked with the experimental composer [a=Glenn Branca]. The band were joined in 1985 by drummer Steve Shelley, and recorded 15 albums together, as well as many side and solo projects. Their work has been consistently challenging and innovative, and they are widely regarded as one of the most intriguing and influential bands of their time. This view has been added to by the strength of their record "Sonic Nurse", which also featured the talents of Jim O'Rourke. O'Rourke left the band in 2005. In 2006, Mark Ibold joined the group. In September 2011, Sonic Youth went on "indefinite hiatus" following the separation of Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore (the couple had been married since 1984). First group studio was [l265864] in New York City, after that [l328958] located in Hoboken, New Jersey.

LYRICS

[Kim]
I'm just here for dictation
i don't wanna be a sensation
bein' on Sixty Minutes
wasn't worth your fifteen minutes

don't touch my breast
i'm just working at my desk
don't put me to the test
i'm just doing my best

shopping at Max Fields
power for you to wield
dreamed of going to the Grammies
till you poked me with your whammy

he's been dissed
now you're moving your wrist
I'm just from Encino
why are you so mean oh

i'm just here for dictation
and not your summer vacation
you really like to shmooz
but now you're on the moves

I'm from Sherman Oaks
just a wheel with spokes
but i ain't giving you head
in a Sunset bungalow
