Can't imagine too many people buying a Sonic Youth compilation at Starbucks, but maybe I'm wrong.
What I want to know is what make the old broad from 40 year old virgin qualified to pick Sonic Youth songs.
Or for that matter, Dave Eggers, Eddie Vedder and Portia di Rossi.
I'm think Eddie Vedder is qualified and I'd assume/hope the others are big SY fans.
It's just a weird assemblage of people. It's so strange. I can't see this selling a lot of copies there either.
If I were an unqualified celebrity I would have picked "Jams Run Free"
I like Catherine Keener a lot. Knowing she's into Sonic Youth just makes me like her more.
I remembered reading an article of 'Blender' where Portia de Rossi listed some of her fav music. She seems pretty cool, and SY was right there at the top of the list. In this intereview, she said her fav was 'tunic'.
