I'm Nostalgic For Conversations I Had Yesterday

Alternative rock acts, Sonic Youth, Slint, Girls Against Boys and independent-rock-friendly (often known as "backpacker") rapper GZA will be performing what are widely considered their "classic records" this summer at a concert series called, "Don't Look Back." Only 5 years ago it took an album at least 20 years to achieve classic status, however accelerated blog-fagger culture has made it so records scarcely 10-years-old can be prematurely available for "classic" consideration. Next years festival will include classic albums by Peter, Bjorn & John, Takka Takka and Menomena.

It should be noted Daydream Nation is 20 years old. I'd rather hear them do Sister tho.

Actually, it is 19 years old to be picky and accurate.
