i know a lot of "fans" that have never heard BMR, CIS, EVOL, self titled, NYCG+F, yadda yadda yadda. most of these people always swear by washing machine, daydream, or dirty.
then if you start talking about solo material its always "i really like psychic hearts" or either "trees"...like, totally unaware of this vast world of music featuring SY members outside of the confines of "sonic youth". ive always felt that these people are missing out.
basically,....it almost seems all of them depend on best buy for their sonic youth purchases.
not a bad thing...just weird. i probally wouldnt be too interested in digging through the rest of their albums collections as im totally ignorent enough to believe it would contain all the "grunge" material that can be bought at best buy, maybe a couple weezr albums, maybe some pavement...and the "avant garde" to them begins and ends w/ miles and coltrane.
in case anyone cant tell im in a TERRIBLE mood. dont fuck with me right now.

If it makes you any happier I love me some Confusion is Sex/Kill Yr Idols. And the debut LP. Oh, and Scriptures of the Golden Eternity. And I buy vinyl. So I hope this cheers you up.
On another note, a shocking amount of America lives in rural areas where the only store is Wal Mart, or some similar shit. So, even though its not really hip and indie, people buy music from big, chain stores out of necessity. And I think that anyone who listens to ANY Sonic Youth at all is way cooler than pretty much 95% of all people. So don't be hating.
