Oh, KMD - Black Bastards reissue is dropping for Record Store Day. That's a motherfuckin must have right there.
...
Oh yeah, and Sonic Youth is reissuing Bad Moon Rising, Evol, Screaming Fields of Sonic Love and Sister.... no idea if they're going to be deluxe 2-disc affairs like the interrupted reissues of the 00's, but I am still interested.
Though why Pitchfork gave Bad Moon Rising an 8.1 and didn't even name it a "best new reissue" is a mystery to me. Perhaps those fuckers are finally approaching a median age that makes early SY simply a thing beyond their understanding. What limited fanfare BMR received is probably perfunctory. They're probably just following a set of rules laid out by past staff writers, stating that "in the event of a Sonic Youth release, rate high and gush but don't try to understand the music itself. It's good, trust us. Now enjoy your ILoveMakonnen you little bitches"
