Also, some remaining Sonics combined with members of Mudhoney a year or two
ago to produce a KILLER disc revisiting the tunes of their glory
years...including most all of the aforementioned, as well as "Maintaining
My Cool" and (natch!) "Louie Louie." It did come out under the Sonics name.

Mark Arm sounds more like Iggy than ever...Great CD! I'll dig out the
