Song of the Day - June 13, 2006

Today marks the official release date of Sonic Youth's latest album Rather Ripped, though it has been available on Rhapsody for the past week. It has been 25 years and they are still going strong. If you are one of the lucky ones, you can see Sonic Youth tonight at one of their original haunts CBGBs. "Sleepin' Around" is one of my favorite tunes on the album. It starts off with a tidal wave of distortion, that dissolves into pounding beats, guitars, and vocals. The guitars eventually come to the forefront again in another dissonant wall of feedback, which evolves into a blues tinged solo. Click here to listen.
