SELL OUT.

the bile is rising in my throat.

Idols: Killed.

My brother works there. Maybe he can get it for me for free.

tell me about it, I work there too and every day I hate myself just a little bit more

i can't believe that i am going to buy a cd at starbucks!

If it ends up like other Starbucks CDs, then all you have to do is wait a couple of months (if that) and buy them for significantly cheaper at your local used record store (still sealed as often as not).

hey, i'm all for some unsuspecting Starbucks patron getting turned on to Sonic Youth. no big deal, it is what it is. i bet some of the choices will be interesting.

yeah. i love it when people call sell out. cause you know that if some company offered you millions of dollars you would totally be like "no thanks, it's all about the artistic integrity."

news at eleven

I say just take the sister album, gussy up the packaging with predictably cute/retro/hip graphics and spring that gem on the caramel machiata sippers. Then maybe threaten to sentence Sonic Yup to a lifetime of opening for nickelback.

I'm torn. I wish I could talk to them and find out their reasons for this.

Where the fuck else do you expect them to sell their CD's? The record store is basically extinct. Why is a big company that sells coffee any worse than a big company that makes records or a big company that sells books or anything else? You people need to stop fighting progress and just embrace change as it happens.
