Music Sonic Elders

onThis video will be most entertaining to those familiar with Sonic Youth’s “Schizophrenia” (AKA the first track on Sister), for whom it will be one of the weirdest and most wonderful things ever.
Thanks, as always, to Jake.

I don't have audio today, but this appears to be a cover of SY's "Schizophrenia", a song I can't rave enough about (maybe someone could write a 33 1/3 book on just this song!).
Anyway, it appears that the underground has once again been coopted by the mainstream media. That conductor looks like a schmarmy fuck.
Don't get too uppity until you hear it—the result of this cooption is as fuck-it-all as the original.
Sonic Youth is on Geffen, and the underground is a subway in London.
I wish there was more of an intro just to explain who they were and why they were doing it. But yes, it's mindbending.
Kim's spoken-word part is AMAZING.
As for more info, the best I've got is a reference someone made in the comments to this post on Line Out: "I can't wait to see the whole documentary!"
The plot thickens...
The group is called the young@heart chorus. You can check out more at their website. http://www.youngatheartchorus.com/index.php
