Expertise:  Pretty much anything up to about 2000, when I gave up on them as being my favorite band to really just not doing anything original any more, except Lee Ranaldo's solo material, musical and writing, which I continue to follow to this day.

Experience in the area
I have met members of the band on several occasions, own all of their work, including many rare items, up to about 2000, and wrote the original complete and copyrighted Sonic Youth discography which I maintained from 1990-1996 after writing it. It was published, uncredited and unpaid for, in the Sonic Youth biography published by St. Martin's Press.

Organizations
I ride the Short Bus to work five times a week.

Publications
The Sonic Youth discography which I wrote & maintained from 1990-1996 was published, uncredited and unpaid for, in the Sonic Youth biography published by St. Martin's Press.

Education/Credentials
Bachelors and Masters degrees in Geekotology.

Awards and Honors
Someone gave me a gold star once.
