It's also one ofLemmy's favorites.

I'll have to catch 'em at Lollapalooza as I don't have computer speakers.  I'll also be sure to bring a tennis racquet as I'm positive there will be more tennis balls then Wimbledon.

Sounds like they're using the Penn 4s with the Extra Duty Felt.

I know that some people hate that Sonic Youth are darlings of rock critics, I still think they are an incredible band. "Murray Street" was a superb record, and I've heard their new record still shows they have some vitality left. I for one am glad they're around. I saw them in Rome in 2002 and it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen, and I had almost written them off after a mediocre performance I saw in 1998. I'm excited to see them again.

must be a irrational fear of tennis balls...

Sonic Youth just doesn't do it for me.  I didn't watch them last night, but I listened to them on Leno as I did other things and the song was boring to me.  Nothing to grab me at all but some bad vocals and drone drone drone....

I've seen Sonic Youth four or five times.  They are definitely hit or miss with their performances.  I saw them open up for the Beasties "Check Your Head" tour and they were amazing.  However, I saw them play a Lollapolloza years back and they were terrible.  I have heard that their new album is very good.
