note from thurston
 

Friendz, family, petz and alienz --- we, Sonic Youth, are hitting the heavy highwayz of America starting promptly June 13th.

So believe this: RATHER RIPPED is OUT!!!! that day as well. We are celebrating at an already jammed out CBGB. We will then commence to crank the raunch non-stop. Itinerary is on this site, check it. The record is easily found on CD. If you look deep enuff (try our webstore at sonicyouth.com) you can find RR on vinyl LP with completely different cover art. We've also released a 7" of tunes we didn't put on record which are RRAAWW. 1st week of dates are with nashville teenster dynamite Be Your OWN Pet and the rest of tour is mostly with Brooklyn goodtime groovsters Awesome Color. West Coast we're jamming on the Pearl Jam stage, doing some shows with Flaming Lipz and ending it all in a Brooklyn pool with Yeah Yeah Yeahs. We'll be doing some righteous TV destruction along the way, LATE NIGHT WITH DAVID LETTERMAN (this friday june 16th), and extra face shred with Conan on NBC and Kimmel on ABC. Bust out the Tivo, momma!

Later,

thurston/sonic youth
