sometime this year the flaming lips and sonic youth will tour together

In the late 80's in my last years of university and living in a condemned building I would listen to Brave New Waves a late night radio show on the CBC. Now, when I'm up late, which doesn't happen as often as it did in university, I'll listen, always hoping to hear something I can sink my teeth into. It was at that time that I first heard, The Whitey Album by Ciccone Youth. It was part of a show about Sonic Youth and their emergence from early 80's no wave/punk and the New York experimental music scene.

Now, it's been remastered along with their first album, Sonic Youth. Did I mention Good Listening! That's right, crank it, enjoy it for what it is. It's rock and roll, bodiddly!

And in other news, The Flaming Lips have released a new album, At War With The Mystics. On first listen it's not their greatest but it is different from their last outing. More listening is required.
