Welcome back to All One Song, A Neil Young Podcast presented by Aquarium Drunkard. We’re spending the summer talking to a few of our favorite artists and writers about their favorite Neil Young song.This week, we’ve got someone very special: Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth. Steve spent about 25 years behind the drum kit for Sonic Youth as the band radically redefined and reimagined rock and roll. He’s easily one of the greatest drummers of the past four decades, as heard on such classics as Sister, Daydream Nation, Washing Machine, Murray Street and beyond. His style is explosive, sensitive and always imaginative. Steve is so much fun to listen to, in pretty much any context, but especially here as he dives into Neil's Ditch era classic, "Vampire Blues."
SYR1: Anagrama is an EP by American alternative rock band Sonic Youth. It was released in May 1997, and was the first in a series of experimental and mostly instrumental releases issued on the band's own SYR label.
Ryan Schreiber wrote for Pitchfork:
"Taking their trademark experimental noise to the next level, Sonic Youth have just releases a series of three EPs that were simply too hardcore for David Geffen. And there's definitely no hit single on this disc. Instead what you get is three lonely, instrumental tracks that bring to mind starry, country skies and lower-east side bars after hours. The fourth and final track, "Mieux: De Corrosion," on the other hand, is a symphony of noise and deconstruction that will crush you in the palm of its proverbial hand.."

This one didn't turn out that bad, either. Fusing and mashing together Kim and Thurston is kind of unsettling nowadays, but I quite like Steve Shelley's panda bear mask.
