As a Sonic Youth fan, I find this confusing and very disappointing. How do you celebrate the release of a new record by playing at an Apple Store? It would seem logical to play at a record store, right? Matador is so good at celebrating the physical product, yet this is really happening?!? ugh. I’m not going to lie, I’m a little less excited to pick up my new copy of The Eternal with the bonus LP…

that’s a valid enough point however it’s not as though Sonic Youth haven’t played record stores previously and they continue to do things to support physical music retailers (the two RSD 7″’s this APril being a good example).
