I sprained my hand once during a really bad masturbation session where I fell off my door during autoerotic asphyxiation. I was 14 at the time and still expected to play baseball for my grade school. I had to quickly come up with an excuse as to why I couldn't play that day. I was embarrased as to how I got my wrist injured. So I told the coach I hurt my wrist furiously masturbating. I just couldn't tell him about the belt, car fan belt and mother's silk stockings.

That short story is somehow related to the fact Lee Ranaldo has fractured his wrist while playing tennis. This has forced the cancellation of two Sonic Youth shows and the postponing of their regular tour. New tour dates are below.

Jan. 4: Rialto Theater, Tucson, AZ
Jan. 5: Marquee Theater, Phoenix, AZ
Jan. 7: House of Blues, San Diego, CA
Jan. 8: Fox Theater, Pomona, CA
