SONIC YOUTH
SONIC NURSE
ALBUM GEFFEN RELEASE: JUNE 8, 2004 REVIEW: AUGUST 18, 2004

Hey nurse - can you please give me some more of that Sonic Youth treatment? I have been suffering from symptoms of withdrawal ever since I was "Dirty" and not even trips to "Murray Street" or the ghosts in New York have been able to still my shakes.
Ah, that's better! A dose of Kim Gordon - as she should sound - in "Pattern Recognition" lessens my ache! I feel almost like a bull in the heather. The trip all the way through her Arthur Doyle hand cream makes me groove instead of shake. And when I inject some "Bones" my body feels like during the good old days again. I begin to shout "Rock" from the top of my, now fully functioning, lungs and look forward to the rest of the cure.
This is truly how it should feel, nurse. Please don't stop. Let me have the full treatment and at the end mellow out with "I Love You Golden Blue".
And as my mind drifts of, with glittering images of an underground, totally made up in velvet, you must push that button again. Yes, of course I know that it will never again feel like as when the whole nation daydreamed - but it sure feels damn close.
