  • SY on "Does Your Cat Know My Dog?"



    "Where the hell is Bad Bonn ?
    As announced two weeks ago, we have the pleasure to reveal the tracklist of our next release, a 12'' compilation curated by the Bad Bonn.
    It is called Does your cat know my dog? - Bad Bonn's selection for the new ear.
    And without further ado, here is what we are talking about:

    Side A
    1A. Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Love Comes To Me (live)
    2A. Your Fault - I'm Washing Your Feet...
    3A. Pierre Omer - Lullaby
    4A. Joe Galen - Gold Smatter
    5A. Carla Bozulich and Ches Smith - Elements Ascending

    Side B
    1B. Sunn O))) - Isengard (Chopped & Screwed)
    2B. Sum Of R - Not Every Chamber Has A Door
    3B. Bulbul + Boris Hauf - [ab]end
    4B. combineharvester - Shallow Is Just Enough
    5B. Sonic Youth - No Way (power cut version)

    Each track is previously unreleased or rare. Sonic Youth's contribution was recorded at the 2009 kilbi, the annual Bad Bonn's festival. If you ever wanted to know how the band sounds without guitars, you have to hear this.
    As you might guess, we are pretty excited! And we hope you are too. It will come in a lovely black and white cover with a scissors cut made by Jad Fair (click here to see it).
    As usual, it will be a one-time pressing in limited edition. This time, it is 650 copies only.
    We still have a lot of work to do on this record, even if the master and artwork steps are over. So, as you might have noticed with the record's name, it will be released around the second week of February. Sorry, it won't come under your Christmas tree! We will have around 100 copies available for pre-order on January. We will also put two songs on our myspace page and on the website soon.
    Stay tuned not to miss anything! (2009-11-28)"
