Sonic Youth does `Daydream Nation’ start to finish

Now, I know that I predominantly write about advertising and technology in this blog however, it was originally developed to inspire creativity and that includes experiences. So last night I went to the Roundhouse to see Sonic Youth perform the final night of their tour performing the 1988 masterpiece “Daydream Nation” in it’s entirety, the very album that in 1996 was one of 50 albums chosen by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry. Those who know the album know that the best comes first in the form of “Teen Age Riot” which sounded even better live last night than it did eighteen years ago. Despite being in her mid-fifties, Kim Gordon is still the original rock chic and can pull it off better than Karen O (who I also admire BTW) or any of the other twenty somethings that the naughties have to offer. All in all, it was bloody marvelous to be able to relive my youth again, and I don’t know if it was because Daydream Nation was re-released again in July of this year, but they just sound better and better.
