Beck Covers Sonic Youth, Sonic Youth Covers Beck

On a Record Store Day exclusive split 7" that was nowhere to be found by the time I got to Other Music, Beck covered EVOL cut "Green Light" and The Sonik Youth returned the favor with a take on Mellow Gold dirge "Pay No Mind (Snoozer)." (The sales climb high through the garbage-pail sky/ like a giant dildo crushing the sun..., you remember.) Matador printed twenty five hundred copies, which means dozens are currently available to you on eBay. If you missed out, or aren't into getting scalped, you can listen below.

"Green Light"

"Pay No Mind"

Letcha know when we track down the SY/Jay Reatard split. If you see any outrageously priced RSD exclusives on eBay please share the link so we can tsktsk as a group.

Sellers makes money. Collectors goes home happy. The rest of us hope they bands play the covers live.

Little known fact: it is a Scientology prophesy that our sun will indeed someday be destroyed by a giant dildo.

That cover of "Pay No Mind" is beyond terrible. What a way to ruin a great song.
