on the sublime

I'm considering writing my seminar paper on the contemporary Sublime, basing my assertions about the Sublime on Longinus's writings. A few days ago I posted some songs that I feel fit my contemporary notions of the Sublime.

Unfortunately, what I really wanted to post--a video by Sonic Youth--was blocked from embedding. To me, they embody the contemporary Sublime, which I plan on arguing encompasses the Longinus "rules," but also incorporate political implications as well as aesthetic.
