Sonic Youth rehearse "Candle"

Ever wanted to be a fly on the wall as a great band dust off the cobwebs in the practice room? This featured on a SY webcast from June of 2002, around the time "Murray Street" came out. Filmed in their Manhattan studio/rehearsal space Echo Canyon by Chris Habib.

I love the breakdowns, the rueful smiles, Thurston battling on while it keeps falling apart...captures the struggle well!

There are plenty of other bits from this webcast up on youtoob as well...and also a great three-part documentary about the making of Murray Street.
