SONIC YOUTH VS. FUCKED UP - THE MAN BEHIND THE BEEF

That's

Ben Rayner

up there. In our latest issue,

The Seeing Trails Issue

, we profiled his new zine,

Cranking to Sonic Youth

, and had a

chat

with him about the background to some of the photos. It all came together at ATP when he recorded a bunch of songs with Fucked Up, including an obscene and surreal diss track on Sonic Youth which the indie world is starting to

get very excited

about. You can hear the song (and one called "Nerds at ATP") if you clicky clicky down there. What's funny is that about a year ago Ben split up Wavves at Primavera. True story. If there's indie gossip, Ben's probably the root cause.
