So this is freedom huh? Today is the first day of my new life – I woke up and didn’t go to work, which feels pretty amazing. Despite that I am working hard – there’s a lot to do!
Of course any new step in the journey of life needs an appropriate soundtrack; so I’m kicking everything off by listening to Sonic Youth’s Goo with the cat. Favourite songs? Mote and Kool Thing featuring Chuck D. from Public Enemy.
Apart from being a great mash of alt rock noise, it has (in my opinion) some of the best album art of all time; designed by punkrocker-cum-artist Raymond Pettibon. Whirlwind, heat and flash – Goo still sounds fresh, 19 years later.
