They also have a new CD:

The Destroyed Room: B-sides And Rarities, a band-chosen collection of near-hidden Sonic Youth gems, is now available on Geffen Records. The album brings together songs from throughout the band's career with Geffen, focusing on tracks previously available only on vinyl, limited-release compilations, or as b-sides to international singles. The tracks were hand picked by the band and also include material that has never before been released. Complete tracklist and more info here. A double vinyl LP edition will be released in February 2007 on the band's own Goofin' Records label. The vinyl features two bonus tracks: 'Doctor's Orders (T vox)' and 'Is it my Body?'

Now that Jim O' Rourke has transplanted himself in Japan, I wonder if he will make a cameo at any of these shows... or am I out of my mind

Jim O'Rourke isn't in the band anymore, so it's pretty doubtful. Mark Ibold is still the live bassist for the band, so he will be there.

"I wonder if he [Jim O'Rourke] will make a cameo at any of these shows"

"Jim O'Rourke isn't in the band anymore, so it's pretty doubtful."

I think that's why Klaus mentioned "make a cameo". If he was in the band, there will be no need to make a cameo.

Who has The Arcade Fire Tickets for the oh so cool church venue? Not I. Yet today, the great hand of G-d shook into my little world and with a lovely twist of fate and allowed me to discover a place to go that Friday night that might have otherwise made me feel like I was looking through the glass...always on the outside. Long story short, I will be seeing the ab, fab SONIC YOUTH that night instead.
