Song of the day

"Cotton Crown", by Sonic Youth. After a rather fraught and difficult weekend (we seem to be having a few of those) the iPod comes to the rescue with "Cotton Crown". Is this my favourite Sonic Youth song? It might be. It is more honest, open and sincere than Sonic Youth have ever allowed themselves to be. Heck, they don't even spell it "Kotton Krown". My only caveat is that the song isn't spun out towards infinity (and beyond!) like so many Sonic Youth songs. But most likely that is the point.
