I heard a vicious rumour off a friend today that the clothing company Topman have aquired the rights to print t-shirts with the cover of Sonic Youth's 'Goo' album on the front.
Just wanted to know if anyone has any information on this? Whether it's true or not? IMO this isn't another forgivable 'Hits Are For Squares' moment.

The real question is, does Geffen own the rights to that image, or does Sonic Youth?
if it is geffen, then there is no big deal. They do what they wanna do If it is Sonic Youth then it is no big deal. They need MONEY to continue their rock, their side projects, their record labels, their endeavors basically, and to pay for their studio bills and equiptment and touring expenses and EVERYTHING, since they are doing it on their own now, not with geffen. so in other words WHO CARES? goo goo goo

Isn't it the property of Raymond Pettibon? I doubt he'd sell it to Topman. If this is true I'm going to personally set fire to every Topman-tit I see on the street wearing one of these.

I agree with Rob, It costs alot of coin to tour places like Australia & Europe.

They're a British chain of highstreet clothes retailer. Whats evil about them? Not alot really. Just alot of people think they suddenly become 'alternative' if they don't shop in Topman.

I'm pretty sure it is the property of Pettibon, and I'm sure he needs the money even more than Sonic Youth. Given where he comes from I'm sure the irony appeals to him immensely too. This happens to every generation. Jerry Garcia died with a full line of popular selling neckties. |

Sonic Youth are apart of American culture. Deal with it.

WELL, I just saw my first scene twat in a Goo t-shirt, the first of many, I am assuming. My heart sank. I did not follow through with my vows to set fire them, either.

I have no problem with a band selling whatever, wherever. So long as they don't try and claim some kind of underground credibility while they're doing it.
I guess it all depends on who owns the rights though. But then again, it was their decision to sign with Geffen, nobody elses. |
