Sonic Bucks

Just read this brief interview with Thurston Moore (which I came to via Idolator) in which I found out that Sonic Youth are putting out an album with Starbucks. Now, while Thurston is obviously kind of right when he says, "There's no difference between working with Starbucks and working with record labels like Universal and Geffen", he is, in one sense, absolutely right, and yet, in another sense, he is of course completely wrong, simply because Starbucks stands for shit that Universal and Geffen don't. And then he says some shit about there being a great independent underground. Which obviously Sonic Youth are not a part of, they actively seek out Starbucks, am I right Thurston? "The Starbucks thing was our idea". Yes I'm right.

The best bit of the interview is this bit:

I thought, "Why don't we get some of the people in the media who name-check Sonic Youth to choose their favorite songs, and then put them on a CD?"

Yeah, so what's Dave Eggers's favorite Sonic Youth song?

I forget.
