When Free Radicals Become Free Agents

[Guy Ian Scott Pursey]

Cool article, thanks.

I saw them play Daydream Nation a few weeks ago in London.

Do you get the impression that Pynchon might really be a fan or that the
author is being sarcastic to some extent? I only ask because while I can
see all the others on the list might plausibly be involved, I find it
hard to believe that Posh Spice would be into music at all, let alone
Sonic Youth. 

Her own "musical" "career" provides further evidence for this.

PS. I hope it's true.
PPS. Just noticed your e-mail address, Dave. Very cool.

... Sonic Youth scored a major-label deal before the '90s alt-rock fad
imploded, and they're getting out at a time when business-savvy
artists stand to make money without the help of a label. Enter the
band's much-ballyhooed deal with Starbucks. In the early months of
next year, they'll release a compilation of songs selected by fans,
including everyone from John Mayer, Avril Lavigne, and Mick Jagger to
LL Cool J, Posh Spice, and Thomas Pynchon....
