Hey Bobby,
You managed to create a show where every song struck an internal golden chord in such a way that I feel compelled to hear it all again.
Bravo!
Your cover “art” is a well conceived brush stroke.
(And thanks for another shout out.)
Oh, fyi, I have some 1994 Sonic Youth songs lined up for an upcoming show; do you have a favorite from that year?

Loved your introductory nod to Eddie Murphy’s “Coming To America”; I WILL let my soul glow, thank you.

. . Jewish Barber: [As he’s petting the lion’s head] That’s beautiful! What is that, VELvet?
Thanks Alan! Knowing it required an additional listen is music to my ears :)
Sonic Youth: I recently watched them perform "Bull in the Heather" on David Letterman and thought it was awesome. If we are specific to '94 then it's my choice. However, if we can reflect back to '92 then i would certainly choose "Wish Fulfillment" from the Dirty LP. It always manages to give me that cold chill that we are all seeking as music fans. The "Wish Fulfillment/Sugar Kane" song combo is one of my favorite 1,2 punches on a Sonic Youth record, btw.
