Im a Sonic Youth fan for life...but I have to cringe when I see the new vinyl album in stores for 30dollars plus. BNGE was/is some bullshit. Maybe this is all pseudo-indie Matador and their profiteering, but I see it as straight forwardly ripping off completists and diehard fans. Im sure the next album will see the same bullshitty inflated price, with some "bonus" we can get for throwing down 50 dollars. They make Geffen seem like saints.
