This week’s show saw the start of a new segment (ooohhhhhhh I hear you gasp in amazement!) that hasn’t really got a proper name, at the moment it’s entitled ‘Albums That Shaped Me’. Each week I shall pick an album that’s very important to me, and play a couple of songs from it, and quite possibly tell the tale of when I first heard it, what it means to me etc.
For this show I chose the Sonic Youth album Goo, released back in 1990. It was my first experience of Sonic Youth, I was 14 years old and quite frankly it blew my mind, and continues to do so to this very day. It was fundamental in opening up a whole new world (well to me anyway) of alternative music and without it I probably wouldn’t be doing what I do now and discovered as many bands as I have. Sonic Youth, I thank you!
Oh and PS : The new Jenny Lewis is ace, and you should all own it in your record collection!
