The Whitey Album by Ciccone Youth

Ok, Ciccone Youth is really Sonic Youth, you guys figured it out. The Whitey Album was Sonic Youth's first real pure experimental album. It has a lot of songs that have no words, one that has no music and just words, one that has no music or words, and a lot of other weird covers and samples of 80s songs that I hardly believe would have been legal after Grand Upright Music, Ltd. v. Warner Bros. Records, Inc. The album accurately reflects the 80s: misdirected excess that occasionally results in accidental genius. I can't recommend this album to you, but here are some tracks and if you like them then I guess you can buy the album, although there are at least a dozen other SY records you should pick up first.
