Well, I hope this is not one of two billion Sonic Youth discographies
posted in the next few days. There are tons of Sonic Youth fans on
this list, two in this town alone with access to lovehounds. Hell,
there's even a radio show named after one of their songs...

Hof posted a pre-Evol list awhile ago, but here is a slightly updated version:

Sonic Youth ep		(Neutral --- deleted?/Zensor)
Confusion is Sex lp	(Neutral --- deleted?/Zensor)
Kill Yr. Idols mini-lp	(Zensor; 3 new cuts plus old material from CiS)
Making the nature scene/I killed Christgau with my big fucking dick 
		(and it don't work no more) 7" (Forced Exposure)
Bad Moon Rising lp	(Homestead)
Halloween/Flower 12"	(Halloween also appears on the compilation A Diamond
			 Hidden in the Mouth of a Corpse from Giorno Poetry 
			 Systems)
Death Valley 69/Brave Men Run 7"
Death Valley 69 12"	(title cut from BMR + older unreleased stuff)
Evol lp			(SST)
Into the Groovy 7"	(New Alliance; Madonna covers)
Into the Groovy 12"	(New Alliance? Same as 7")

Also appearing in (among others):
You Bet We've Got Something Against You compilation lp
Untitled 4-cut compilation 7" from Chemical Imbalance
Impact Auto-edit 12" live compilation ep

Live stuff:
Sonic Death cassette 	(Ecstatic Peace; Thurston Moore's own label probably
			 has lots more live stuff. This tape is dubious.)
Double-live lp		(boot, but good)
Video from Atavistic video in Columbus Ohio

(Neutral is Glenn Branca's label. Zensor is a German label with decent
pressings. Some Neutral stuff is carried by New Music Distribution Service.)

bill's list look pretty complete to me, except i didn't see the 7 & 12
inch `starpower' singles listed.

since it seems like it has been a couple of months since this question
was last asked, i'll ask it again:  is sonic youth still planning on
covering the complete `white album'?

finally, Re: Grudgingly Admitted (berkeley's kxlu and kxlu in los
angeles)

since i went to school at berkeley and spent most of my life in los
angeles, i was real fortunate that great stations like kalx and kxlu
were available.  sometimes i wonder if i should move back just for that
reason ... sigh.
