Although it was released in summer, it felt really right for the cold, grey winter day.

yeah, this is good, I'd only listened to the first album before this and didn't really like it much

i've enjoyed the thurston / lee post-SY solo stuff i've heard, but it usually makes me just want to listen to SY. body/head definitely is more interesting / involving. need to dig in more with the new one.

Body/Head is like the first Sonic Youth anything I really fucks with after the SST era

I dug the set I play Thurston (and his band) play last month — felt like an hour-long version of “Elegy for All the Dead Rock Stars.”

(Should’ve read over that before hitting “post.”)

The Switch is no joke. I wrote about it back in July:

Ha, we have opposite seasonal responses to this album!:

Consciously or unconsciously, Body/Head’s latest is indisputably an album for or about summertime, a No Wave mirror held up to our present, perspiring moment.
