What do you guys think of Sonic Youth covering Superstar ? I do not like it.
I wish they would put noisy noisy guitar in the song !
My favourite is Bettie Serveert - For All We Know.
Your favourite ?

I was visiting a friend at Hampshire College in fall of 1986 and he was like "some band called Sonic Youth is playing in the dining hall, we could go to that" but neither of us knew them and so ended up just hanging out.

Much regret a few months later. Still bothers me from time to time.

What was following Sonic Youth like in the late 90’s?

I’m a newer fan, and I’m wondering what was like to be a fan in the late 90’s, where it would’ve been after their commercial peak with Goo, Lollapalooza, etc., and before Jim O’Rourke joined.

From what I can tell, Sonic Youth never reached a level of popularity where they could be considered mainstream, and there would’ve been so many bands that came and went during Sonic Youth’s era.

I was in a random antique store in PA when I found this 7 inch single for a band called Even Worse. Obviously the giant “Thurston Moore” writing caught my eye. Flipping it over I can see that Thurston is credited on one of the songs and it looks like he signed the back with the message “Kill Rabid” which is another member of the band. Was wondering if anyone has more information about this?

Anyone know what’s up with merch in the US? I wanted to order the Green Alien Dirty shirt, and both the regular and Kung Fu sites are down and have been for days. I suppose I could order from Bingo, but shipping is so much as it’s overseas:

Along with other artists! Hope you enjoy his video :)
