Song of The Day #100

"Schizophrenia" by Sonic Youth

Yes, we made it. Song of The Day number 100. Il Buono's centennial. What a glorious day. Truly though, I'm guessing you didn't think I would keep this up like I did--I know I didn't. But here we are: at number 100.

I thought it fitting to commemorate the big one-oh-oh with one of my favorite songs of the day ever by one of my favorite bands ever, Sonic Youth; none of the previous 99 songs are by the band. And "Schizophrenia" is a true masterpiece. The opening track from Sonic Youth's work-of-genius, Sister, "Schizophrenia" is a cool, relaxed bit of noise-rock that's at once chaotic and beautiful, wild and peaceful, unruly and collected. One might venture to call its constant mood swings--both lyrically and texturally--schizophrenic.

Anyhow, I've decided to include a listing of all the songs of the days, listed 1 through 100. They are blocked off in 80-ish minute chunks in case you want to burn all of them onto CDs and make a collection of 8 super-awesome mixtapes. See them all after the jump:

Fun facts:

-The average SOTD lasts six minutes and twenty-two seconds

-The only three artists to post multiple SOTDs are Tom Waits, Alice Cooper, and Frank Sinatra

There you go. I knew there was a reason I left three digit spaces in the SOTD titles.

Which one is your favorite?
