In celebration of their new album on Matador Records, The Eternal,
Sonic Youth will take over
our little record shop. For one day only, on June 9th, Origami Vinyl will become
Sonic Youth's House of Shifting Plates and
Ridiculous Juice, as dubbed by the band itself. Our wall of featured
albums will display selections hand-picked by Thurston, Kim, Lee, Steve and Mark
- ranging from Okkyung Lee to John Lennon - as well as a wide range of Sonic
Youth and Sonic Youth related releases. The band has also invited their friends
Pocahaunted and
Shiloe to play sets at the store.
Deathbomb Arc, a local label in Los
Angeles that has released some Thurston Moore stuff on vinyl, gave us the
following very limited edition goodies to sell in-store:
