Thurston has always been tops when it comes to giving other artists recognition and support they may not get otherwise, whether it be by playing gigs with them or name dropping them in interviews. To behave as if this is weird is a bit mind boggling. Judging by what most die hard Sonic Youth fans listen to outside of SY, it seems as if his voice has been heavily relied on. Sure, it's annoying sometimes when meeting someone who lists "Dinosaur, Sun Ra, Nirvana, + Sunburned Hand of the Man" as their favorites....but still, where would they be had these suggestions not been made? Also, considering not only how many times he's worked with various "underground" artists. but how many times he's worked with these artists as individuals, I'd say most approve of him. Thurston's cool. Let's not forget it.
