A Sonic Youth ep 247 - The Go, Pip Blom, Snail Mail
The Go had it all going for them. They had a great sound, mixing garage rock with power pop and a bit of glam rock. They were signed (alongside Nirvana, Mudhoney, etc.) on Sup Pop Records. And, on their first record, their lead guitarist was a certain guy named Jack White. So why haven't you heard of them? Well Oliver can't answer that, what he can do is play a selection of brilliant tracks from The Go, including one from their 'lost' album. Also, a newly remastered version of Oliver's favourite track from Dutch indie rockers Pip Blom, and a look at the brilliance of early Snail Mail. Tracklist: 1. The Go - Keep On Trash 2. The Go - Come Back 3. The Go - Free Electricity 4. Pip Blom - Babies Are A Lie (2026 Edition) 5. Snail Mail - Thinning 6. Snail Mail - 2nd Most Beautiful Girl In The World (Courtney Love Cover) 7. Snail Mail - Habit Follow @asonicyouthpodcast on Insta and Facebook. This show is part of the Free FM 89.0 YOUTH ZONE. Made with support of NZ on Air.

A Sonic Youth ep 245 - Israel Nash's Rain Plans Deluxe - This Is Lorelei - Langkamer
