Sunday by Sonic Youth
“At the end of 1998 I named Sonic Youth's tenth album A Thousand Leaves as my #1 record of the year. This was the first one the NYC noiseniks recorded in their own studio, and the result was a return to challenging, no-compromise pop experimentation after the more accessible work of their early major-label years. Looking back, this is a bit of an odd choice for #1; it's not a record that I have returned to very much at all. In fact, I don't remember all of it very well. Sunday is the record's most accessible number. There was a time when I believed that absolutely no band was cooler than Sonic Youth; the band has, sadly, dissolved, and those days are past.”

A great 'pop' song from one of the greatest bands of all. What's not to like?

One of my favourite Sonic Youth songs. The video is quite lovely as well.
Today is Friday. Which means it will soon be Sunday.
