Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore has already founded a record label and co-written a few books, including upcoming art photo book Grunge, so it makes sense that he’s ready to start his own book publishing company, as well. Starting next year, Moore’s...
On September 15, LA publishing crew Penny-Ante will see the release of its third and largest anthology, Three. Limited to 2000, this square-bound, softcover mag/book features a 320-page collection of personal writings and visual work from just about every other person you could possibly name drop, including Billy Childish (Thee Headcoats), Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), Robert Pollard (Guided by...

I know - say what?! That was my 1st reaction too. I received a press release today that reads more like a communique from the Discordian front than a tour announcement. The following text describes the "No More Bush Tour 2008" and was attached to a lineup that includes Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), Mike Watt (Minutemen, fIREHOSE, Stooges), Jack Rose (Pelt), 50 Foot Women, Axolotl, Valerie We...

The line on Harcourt Street in Dublin is what you’d expect for a midweek rock show. Serious looking young men mostly, almost everyone in their late twenties and early thirties, black wool overcoats and messenger bags and a distinct sense that everyone has come straight from work. Three guys in front of me share a joint, and the short feature interview with Thurston in that morning’s Metro news
Easily one of the most influential musical groups of the last two decades is Sonic Youth. Since their first official concert in 1981, they have consitently been pumping out new releases and performing at least semi-regularly. Last year I caught them as they toured for their latest group release, Rather Ripped, and I was blown away by what an enthralling live act they continue to be 25 years l...
The latest thing that's turned up from Ecstatic Peace is especially good. "Trees Outside The Academy" is a solo album from Thurston Moore himself, in some ways the first since "Psychic Hearts" in '95. Moore, of course, is always working on extra-curricular projects outside the confines of Sonic Youth, so various and often extreme that even groupies like me have trouble keeping up with them."Tre...
i love this album.atonal dissonance.SWEET SWEET SWEET.with Tim Foljahn, guitarand Steve Shelley, drums.2006 remastered edition.review via ALLMUSIC.COM:It was inevitable that Thurston Moore's first solo offering would sound a bit like Sonic Youth, considering how integral his guitar playing and singing are to the band's sound. What is surprising about Psychic Hearts is how Moore twists his stand...
Thurston Moore on a Saturday morning, just what the good doctor ordered.One of Sonic Youth's mainsprings, Moore, along with wife Kim Gordon, and bandmates Lee Renaldo, & (since 1986) Steve Shelley has taken his vision of (anti)rock music to bold heights & blistered noise treks through avante America.On his own he can be more........Melodic? No, thats not it.....his approach is slightly more c...
