According to a recent interview with Pitchfork, Sonic Youth is currently assembling a collection of favorites to be sold at Starbucks.

Frontman Thurston Moore explained:

We sort of devised this idea of a Sonic Youth record where we asked all these different people to choose their favorite song, people like artists and actors and other musicians and what have you. So all these people, from Jeff Tweedy to Beck to Marc Jacobs to Portia de Rossi [of Arrested Development] to Michelle Williams [laughs], they all chose their favorite songs and wrote a little thing about it. So it's a compilation record of artists choosing songs of Sonic Youth. There's going to be one exclusive song of ours that we'll record, so that's something we have to record.

Last week, the band delivered the deluxe edition of their influential full length, Daydream Nation. It is the follow-up to Rather Ripped which was released in 2006.
