Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World

They've still got it. I've been waiting ever-so-patiently for somebody to post Sonic Youth's live appearance on BBC TV two nights ago with a new song from their forthcoming album The Eternal. And blessed thanks, somebody has! It's one of Lee's and I am entralled. It has elevated my expectations for this new record to scary heights. I'm watching it over and over. Lee has thrown down a marker. If Kim and Thurston can match this, then this first Matador album will surely be another stunner.
