There's also a shimload of great song titles, including "Do You Want New Wave Or Do You Want The Truth?," "**** From An Old Notebook," "Political Song For Michael Jackson To Sing," "Maybe Partying Will Help," "God Bows To Math," "The Roar Of The Masses Could Be Farts," "There Ain't **** On T.V. Tonight" and "The World According To Nouns."

I'm taken. You should be too. No, it's not a PERFECT record from start to finish, but with 43 songs, it hardly has to be! Just skip that stupidass "#1 Hit Song" and a couple of D.'s uglier attempts at hitting actual singing notes and man, you'll be living the good life. 74 minutes of listener-friendly funk rock!

And that's my review of Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation. Thanks for tuning in!

And that's my review of Husker Du's Zen Arcade. Thanks for stopping by!
