Day 19: My All

Day 20: I Still Believe

I am not a huge fan of Greatest Hits comps and as you can guess by the title, neither is Sonic Youth. This set I a bit more fun than most. Instead of just compiling a collection of singles and fan favorites, this comp (that was originally commissioned and sold as a CD in Starbucks) has the bands famous friends and admires select their favorite track and then provide a write up on why the selected it. You end up with a nice mix of tracks selected by the likes of Clöe Sevigny, Dave Eggers, Beck, Michelle Williams Dave Atell, Radiohead and many more.

Borrowing my friends copy of this last year is very much how and why I've wound up with 3 or 4 SY records and counting!
