They are both favourites, respectively. <br />An ex liked Ono more. I just discovered "approximately infinite universe" on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRB6sL-Gjfc<br /> It's good, but I wish it sounded more like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l57jaKfhT6w that's haino keiji covering some old 70s japanese pop song.<br />-- funny, he basically covered Marilyn Monroe singing "happy birthday" to JFK a week ago during his annual self-birthday live.<br />-- also I noticed the Kim Gordon autobio is already translated into Japanese. Didn't sonic youth once play with Ono and Sean Lennon in NYC central park?<br /><br />Hooray for old mixtapes and the correspondences found within! <br />MALALEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563118805586951514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1293913535814025060.post-44522992169405339172016-05-08T11:24:39.445-04:002016-05-08T11:24:39.445-04:00I'm no great Smiths fan.

My favorite might be "Asleep," that beautiful b-side on Louder Than Bombs.<br /><br />As for Yoko... no amount of revisionism has convinced me that her albums are great albums. Some of her songs are good, but her performances rarely serve them. I think Kim Gordon should do a Yoko covers album. I do, however, like Two Virgins a lot, and I like the Wedding Album. I should probably pick up Unfinished Music No. 2: Life with the Lions. What Yoko do you like?Adam Golaskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008713238582881525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1293913535814025060.post-67284395329333565142016-05-04T19:24:00.775-04:002016-05-04T19:24:00.775-04:00I love "A Rush and a Push . . ." from th...I love "A Rush and a Push . . ." from that album.<br />The first album is dirge-like, tho.

I expected dirges. Instead--"Death of A Disco Dancer" aside--the music was... jaunty. Strip "Girlfriend In A Coma" or "Unhappy Birthday" of lyrics and you get a happy tune.
