"so, i was watching t.v., like usual, and i saw an advertisement for some corny movie starring Johny Depp called "The Ninth Gate".....anyways...the interesting thing is that the song "Titanium Expose" was used in this commercial....anyone else see/hear this? and who allows SY's music to be used like this? i'm guessing that it wasn't their idea....Geffen perhaps. just thought i'd share, kinda too me by suprise".

"Yes folks, we finally got done making up a bunch of these, now with new cover with updated complaints from other customers, Thurston's corrected information, and other goodies. Oh yeah, there's still that handpainted stuff going on on the tape as well. We have a cd compilation due out with tracks by Sonic Youth, The Minutemen, Harry Pussy, Orchid Sporangiafora (W/Don Van Vliet), Neil Campbell, Derek Bailey, Eugene Chadbourne, Alastair Galbraith so on and so forth. Why don't you check out the website.

As well, Sunship records just released a cdr comp with a track by Dapper, which is Thurston, i think a few of his brothers, and Byron Coley of Orchid Sporangiafora/Father Yod..."

Sonic Youth, initially comprising of guitarist / vocalists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo, guitarist / bassist / vocalist Kim Gordon and drummer Richard Edson, were formed in New York City in 1981. A product of the No-Wave music scene of the late 1970s, the group had their roots in abrasive, experimental music, with Moore and Ranaldo having previously worked with the experimental composer Glenn Branca. The band were joined in 1985 by drummer Steve Shelley, and have now recorded 14 albums together, as well as many side and solo projects. Their work has been consistently challenging and innovative, and they are widely regarded as one of the most intriguing and influential bands of their time.
