Whitey Album

Description

“A few weeks before the release of their new album, Sonic Youth re-released some rare records including a project from the late 80s as a tribute to Madonna, MTV and rap: Ciccone Youth - The Whitey Album. The band also re-released their self-titled debut album, on which they forged a no-wave and punk identity.” Joseph Ghosn “Alongside their usual productions, the band recently released Koncertas Stan Brakhage Prisiminimui, an album in tribute to experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage, whose films are used by Lee Ranaldo during concerts with his other band, Text Of Light.” Joseph Ghosn CD reissue of The Whitey Album, a tribute to the Top-40 recorded in 1988 by Ciccone Youth, a Sonic Youth side-project, in response to a planned tribute album to The Beatles' White Album. This celebration of pop culture and experimental rock includes the classic Burnin' Up, with Mike Watt and Greg Ginn, as well as an alternative version of Macbeth as a bonus track.
