So I must be living under a rock or something (it's called Olathe, Kansas), but somehow I missed that Starbucks is putting together a SY compilation. Apparently all of the tracks have been chosen from famous SY fans, everyone from actors like Chloe Sevigny and David Cross to fellow music masterminds Radiohead and the Flaming Lips.
OK, sounds cool.
But why oh why does it have to be compiled by Starbucks????
Anyway, the track list for the thing is after the jump. Did anyone else wish Radiohead would have been a little riskier with their choice? I do have to give props to Dave Eggers and Mike Watt, though. And, uh, Flea.

Im sad to see diablo cody was left off the list... :)
So its a Starbucks thing, big deal. Sonic Youth jumped to the major labels when we were in grade school. Whether you're buying this Starbucks release, or Murray Street, you're supporting some major corporation. Pick your poison, I suppose.
And yes, Radiohead and David Cross disappointed me with their picks. Though my love for "Tuff Gnarl" was justified when I saw it was the only song chosen twice. Sister rules, Starbucks should just sell that instead.
