I used to play the full-length version of this on my college radio station if I was feeling lazy (and had it in mind for if I needed to take a long trip to the bathroom, but never had to use it for that... ah those golden days before that was an issue, ha ha).

Early Sonic Youth was too pretentious or something for me. Even though all my friends were into it. I really liked them better when they became more of a pop band (Goo). But for me this may be their Zenith. (Where it all comes together.)

I'm interested to read it. I've lived in the shadow of a larger-than-life father, and I'm interested in how other people cope.

I didn't like Goo much at all. But most everything around it, and after it to a point was great. And you're right Washing Machine hits all the right buttons.
