So I'm a Sonic Youth fan. My girlfriend's a Grateful Dead fan. I think that the music of Sonic Youth, very deliberately, sounds like the lifestyle that the Dead were trying to preach, while the Dead sound like a bunch of white boys playing extended versions of simplified blues progressions, without any real *umph*? Now that we've confirmed that the title of the new album is the same as a now defunct Berkley record store, what do you think the Youth and the Dead have to do with each other?
