https://youtube/watch?v=tPytYrYqDbA Day #25 of Alternative Rock Month: Teen Age Riot by Sonic Youth. From the album Daydream Nation, released 1988. The photo-painting, Kerze, that adorned the Daydream Nation album was the work of avant-garde German artist Gerhard Richter. The original canvas was sold at Sothebys in London in February 2008 to an American private collector for £7.1 million, close to treble its catalogue price. According to Francis Outred of Sothebys, Richter never intended his work to be used to accompany the music and had almost certainly never heard of the band. Kerze translates as Candle, which is also the name of a song on the double album. “Youre it No, youre it Hey, youre really it Youre it No I mean it, youre it Say it Dont spray it Spirit desire (face me) Spirit desire (dont displace me) Spirit desire We will fall Miss me Dont dismiss me Spirit desire Spirit desire [x3] We will fall Spirit desire We will fall Spirit desire [x3] We will fall Spirit desire We will fall Everybodys talking bout the stormy weather And whats a man do to but work out whether its true? Looking for a man with a focus and a temper Who can open up a map and see between one and two Time to get it Before you let it Get to you Here he comes now Stick to your guns And let him through Everybodys coming from the winter vacation Taking in the sun in a exaltation to you You come running in on platform shoes With Marshall stacks To at least just give us a clue Ah, here it comes I know its someone I knew Teenage riot in a public station Gonna fight and tear it up in a hypernation for you Now I see it I think Ill leave it out of the way Now I come near you And its not clear why you fade away Looking for a ride to your secret location Where the kids are setting up a free-speed nation, for you Got a foghorn and a drum and a hammer thats rockin And a cord and a pedal and a lock, thatll do me for now It better work out I hope it works out my way Cause its getting kind of quiet in my citys head Takes a teen age riot to get me out of bed right now You better look it Were gonna shake it Up to him He acts the hero We paint a zero On his hand We know its down We know its bound too loose Everybodys sound is round it Everybody wants to be proud to choose So whos to take the blame for the stormy weather Youre never gonna stop all the teenage leather and booze Its time to go round A one man showdown Teach us how to fail Were off the streets now And back on the road On the riot trail...”
