Expressway To Yr Skull

I'm not a big coffee drinker, but when I do drink coffee it's Dunkin' Donuts (oh how I miss you) and certainly not Starbucks. Apparently Sonic Youth disagree with my taste buds as June 10th sees the release of Hits Are For Squares released by Starbucks Music. The compilation features songs hand-picked by friends of Sonic Youth from the music and film world, plus one new track entitled "Slow Revolution". I love Sonic Youth as much as the next gal, and I know the band is really down to earth (one time outside of the Knitting Factory Thurston asked me who was playing that night, like he was some regular guy and not the rock god he is), but seriously, Starbucks??
