(psychedelic mix) [JAPAN CD BONUS TRACK] 3:14 NOTES Rather Ripped is Sonic Youth's 16th album, and their first without Jim O'Rourke's assistance since 'A Thousand Leaves'. Here, SY provide a 12-song set of concise melodic rockers, recorded once again at Sear Sound ('Sister' 'Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star' 'Psychic Hearts'), capturing crystal clear guitar tones, both warm and bright. The band's own Echo Canyon studio would close forever shortly before the album's release, and some of the last tracks recorded were two 'Rather Ripped' outtakes that appear on a companion 7'.

Kim plays bass on all tracks but one, Lee's 'Rats', which features Thurston on bass for the first time since 'My Friend Goo'. Former Free Kitten/Pavement bassist Mark Ibold was enlisted for the subsequent tour, playing bass on most songs, opening the floor for Kim to concentrate on her singing (and dancing!) for the 'Rather Ripped' tunes. HISTORY On July 18, 2005, after a couple of weeks supporting 'Nurse' in Europe, a three-legged Sonic Youth (minus Lee, and Jim, who was still in the band at that point) played a low-key gig at Flywheel in Easthampton, MA. They debuted four songs, 'Helen Lundeberg' 'Or' 'Do You Believe In Rapture?' And 'Pink Steam'. Five days later, Thurston played a solo acoustic set at the Flywheel, performing these songs as well as 'Eyeliner', suggesting they may have originated as Thurston compositions (all songs are in a previously unused tuning, DD#AD#GG). On August 16th, at a gig in Iceland on the next leg of the European 'Nurse' tour, Sonic Youth opened their second encore with a previously unheard tune called 'Sleepin' Around'.

Around this time, a.mov video w/ an instrumental demo of this song appeared on sonicyouth.com's main page. The performance was a one-off, and it wasn't until December 28th at another Thurston/Kim/Steve Flywheel gig that the new songs would be featured again. This time, 'Pink Steam' 'Incinerate' 'Rapture?' 'Sleepin' Around' and 'Lights Out' were played. A month prior to this gig, Jim had played his last show w/ Sonic Youth, after deciding to move to Japan.

The quartet recorded the aforementioned songs at Sear Sound in December & January, as well as more material in the altered 'Pavement' tuning that was featured heavily on 'Murray Street' and 'Sonic Nurse'. These songs were mostly Kim's songs ('Reena' 'What a Waste' 'Turquoise Boy' 'The Neutral'). Ryan Adams Blackhole Raritan. Additional work was done in early 2006 at Echo Canyon, as well as J Mascis's Bisquiteen studio. In April, the band played several shows in Paris as a quartet, noteworthy for the first performance of 'Shaking Hell' since 1986 (a perk of having Thurston on bass for 'Rats'), the reappearance of 'Sunday', and a Jim-less 'Stones'. They played early single contender 'Incinerate' on a French talk show. Pokkiri Raja Mp3 Songs Download. 'Rather Ripped' was released on June 13, 2006, which was also the first night of SY's North American tour, which was not only their last performance at CBGB before it closed, but also the first performance of Sonic Youth in their new quintet form, with former Pavement/Free Kitten bassist Mark Ibold having joined to provide four-string assistance on the tour. The tail end of the tour found them once again in the unlikely position of opening for Pearl Jam, this time having much more accessible material to assault the crowd with (and they were generally well-received compared to the 2000 run!).
