"Sugar Kane" is from Sonic Youth's 1992 album 'Dirty'. The album was produced by Butch Vig, the producer of Nirvana's 'Nevermind' album a year earlier. The record company expected great things with this album, after the success of 'Nevermind'. But, in the end, the first two singles "100%" and "Youth Against Fascism" didn't do as well as expected for them. The next single "Sugar Kane" is probably the best remembered song from the album, in general, and may have interested the grunge crowd, but also didn't sell that well. The main thing for me, is that Butch Vig didn't give the record company another 'Nevermind' or 'Gish' (Smashing Pumpkins) but he gave, us fans, another Sonic Youth masterpiece.
