Sister is an album by alternative rock band Sonic Youth. A loose concept album (like its follow-up Daydream Nation), Sister was in part inspired by the life and works of science fiction writer Philip K. Dick. (The "sister" of the title was Dick's fraternal twin, who died shortly after her birth, and whose memory haunted Dick his entire life.)
On November 21, 2008, Total Dick-head blogger and PKD scholar David Gill, in an interview with SF Bay area radio Pirate Cat Radio, talked about how Sister relates to the life and works of PKD. Listen to Sister and to this interview rich in information about PKD here (it takes place 45 min into the program).
