It has been a big year for Sonic Youth. The band's sixteenth studio album, The Eternal (TMT Review), came out this summer on their new label, Matador. In April, a song on which they collaborated with Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones was used in a new piece by the prestigious Merce Cunningham Dance Company. And — perhaps most importantly — Sonic Youth also appeared on Gossip Girl, the ultra-styli

Sure, Kim Gordon’s prints may be available in a few upcoming coffee table books, but wouldn’t you like to hang an original “Dude War,” “Noise Nomads,” “Pussy Galore,” or “Failing Lights” painting by a Sonic Youth member above your bed? What if I...

I'll preface this by saying that though I know many people who watch the show, I've never seen an episode of Gossip Girl before. In fact, this clip is the first time I've ever seen the show, and it took a seriously head-scratching guest appearance for me to take a look: noise-rockers Sonic Youth show up not only as a wedding band, but bassist Kim Gordon officiates the ceremony. Gordon jokes t...

Not long ago, we reported that Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo sounded off in an interview with the Quietus about disappointing sales of the band's celebrity-curated compilation Hits Are for Squares: "We did a record with Starfucks … er, Starbucks,"...

Despite Sonic Youths’ endless critical plaudits over the years and their emergence at the time when I began developing a real taste in the alternative, I never gravitated to their music. Let’s be honest. Sonic Youth is an acquired taste and their music, at its most experimental, is difficult to absorb with hooks that take [...]

Not quite mainstream enough, despite their plethora of albums and much revered status [...]

Sonic Youth is one of the bands that I never want to change. Please don’t dabble with techno beats. No acoustic albums please. Just keep pumping out your unique brand of experimental noise rock that I’ve held so dear for as long as I can remember.And they do keep it pumping on The Eternal – [...]

Okay, Sonic Youth is clearly way far from a metal band, but the grandaddies of scratchy alt-rock (and grandmama Kim Gordon) need to be recognized as having a profound impact on the rock n' roll, noise rock, and even downtown art scenes, with each member of this prolific, 20-plus-years-in-existence band contributing significantly to each aural [...]~~
