Terrible album title!

Will people please quit bitching about the Target commercial!! The band isn’t shooting a video FOR Target. You won’t Jeff and Matt and Boom buying groceries there and saying “Target, the one-stop shop for all your shopping needs!” They were shooting a video to promote their OWN ALBUM, which just happens to be available AT TARGET! Wise up people, after 20 years they are not all of a sudden “going corporate.”

no, but it’s still an unfortunate decision.

I agree. It definitely will give people the wrong idea, innocent intentions or not.

So now are all the indie people going to not listen to Sonic Youth anymore?
