All Tomorrow's Parties 3.1

"I tried to draw a through line from the Velvet Underground - since it's called 'All Tomorrow's Parties' - to Sonic Youth, and even got Sonic Youth on the bill. They've done the best version of The Simpsons theme ever."
- Matt Groening

Featuring performers from the Groening-curated 2003 All Tomorrow's Parties festival, this release is a reflection of the artist's passion and dedication to music, as well as a tribute to his past history as a music critic for the L.A. Reader.

This compilation features regular album tracks, as well as some rarities, including an unreleased Jackie-O Motherf#@&er track, and Sonic Youth's interpretation of The Simpsons theme, previously available only on the 1996 compilation "Go Simpsonic With The Simpsons".

The cover art and pull-out poster should please any die-hard Groening fan and the music within provides a reassuring appraisal of a group of artists that, even after years and years of work, still remain relevant and vital.
