SONIC YOUTH
SCREAMING SKULL

Bass tab by Chris Lawrence.

Is it me, or is there like, no audible bass on Jet Set???

Verse: Chorus: After chorus:

G------ ------------- -------------------
D------ ------------- -------------------
A--3--- --1---------- --3------1-1-1-1---
E------ ---------4--- -------------------

Interlude:

G------
D------
A--3--- (she may actually be playing the same thing as the guitar, but so
E------ far as I could hear she was just playing this note)

Then, the next riff:

G----------------
D--3---------1--- I don't think she plays the middle guitar note (G)
A----------------
E----------------

That's it, I guess.

Chris

It's either about stuff they dislike, stuff they like, or a summary of random parts of their life.

Apparently, Thurston wrote this song after visiting the SST Records Superstore on the Sunset Strip. SST was SY's former record label (and the Lemonheads' and Husker Du's) but the band and the label split acrimoniously when the Youth left for Geffen Records. SST used to be staunchly "indie" and resolutely against anything which smacked of corporate sellout or major label-ism, yet ended up opening a Virgin-type megastore in L.A. by the mid-90s and turning into a parody of "major label" terrors, without the big sales. To Sonic Youth, who were able to maintain their indepedence despite being on a major label, this must have been delicious poetic justice.

Seems like it's just an indy music montage. Lot's of music-related names (Pat Smear, Husker Du, SST, Lemonheads, etc.), There's probably other stuff I just don't recognize. Sister was the name of a previous album of theirs. Could be a lot of stuff, but probably just a bunch of music-themed stuff that fit together.
