Well, being a cable channel, they probably only have about 15 shows to put on, so I'm sure we'll have a repeat soon (sorry, 'another chance to see', in modern parlance).
It was Thurston and Kim, picking some tracks from the VH2 playlist (ie there were no noise bands). I missed the start, but apart from that they picked:
Be Your Own Pet - Damn Damn Leash
Sonic Youth - Addicted To Love
Eric B and Rakim - Paid In Full
The Fall - Hit THe North
The Jesus and Mary Chain - Just Like Honey
Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love
Pavement - Cut Your Hair
Siouxsie and the Banshees - Hong Kong Garden
The Donnas - Who Invited You
The Who - My GEnereation
Great first half for me, that list.
It was called 'Sonic Youth in Control' or 'In Control: Sonic Youth' or something.
Thurston did most of the chatter. About The Fall, he said that to Americans they are full of 'mysterious wordplay', and that the songs always seem to 'make sense on one level, but you're never sure it was the level that the songwriters intended'.
