NOTES:

  • On December 5th 1986, Sonic Youth backed Mike Kelley at the Artists Space in NYC, basically providing sound effects and instrumental music to his piece "Plato's Cave, Rothko's Chapel, Lincoln's Profile". Kelley recited an hour-and-a-half poem he wrote and dramatized with the help of actress Molly Cleator while SY droned in the background.
  • A track supposedly containing material recorded at this show was released on the Tellus #18 compilation, but as of this writing I've yet to hear it (I'm expecting it soon though, so look for an update).
  • Mike Kelley is an old friend of Kim's and also did the artwork for the Dirty LP.
