Tracks 3/24

Sonic Youth "Superstar" 1994
It's Sonic Youth cover day here at That's Plenty. First up, SY's '94 cover of the Carpetner's hit, proving once again that the Carpenter's songs all kick ass plugged in. Maybe we'll have Carpenters day soon (You hear that McCool?!). Don't worry folks, my cover of Solitaire is just around the corner.

Wylde Ratz "TV Eye" 1998
So, in the late '90s Mark Arm of Mudhoney, Ron Asheton of the original Stooges, and Thurston Moore and Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth started a "RAWK" cover band called Wylde Ratz, recorded an album, put a cut (this one,covering the Stooges) on the Velvet Goldmine soundtrack, and promptly broke up. The album was never released...However, it did make it on to the Internet as things have a tendency to do, and promptly fell on to my hard drive. After listening to these songs, I think Sonic Youth should stick to covers...just kidding...kind of...
