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...

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...

Here's another track off Thurston's new album, Trees Outside The Academy. It's been 12 years since Thurston's last solo album; it was worth the wait.

Just got word about this photography book, "Punk House: Interiors In Anarchy (Abrams Image) by Abby Banks that will be published this December. The cover of "Punk House."I haven't seen the images, but Thurston Moore penned the intro, and the book sounds awesome.Here's the promo pitch: "The 'punk house' may come in any number of forms. The most common type is often where a large group of like-mi...

Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore will release his second solo album, Trees Outside the Academy this September on his label, Ecstatic Peace."I'm always thinking about doing a solo joint," Moore said during an interview with Pitchfork. "I actually sort of did it in the 90s; I did this thing called Psychic Hearts, basically a record based around the real skeletal song structure or idea. "Usually what...

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

Howdy Moggers,Had a semi-interesting invitation. A professor at my college is writing a book on mix tapes. Why we make them, what goes on them, who we make them for, et cetera.....anyway he knows that I am freak de la musica & asked if he could interview me. He wants a couple of the mixes I have made to listen to before the interview. He wrote a book on karaoke a couple of years ago. I tho...

Tomorrow night (4/7) at 11PM, we offer a new installment of our ongoing Tuesday series Sessions at Santa's with Spencer Sweeney. This one's curated by Thurston Moore, who'll hop on the stage with cellist Okkyung Lee and downtown legend/DNA drummer Ikue Mori for what should be an intense performance. Load-affiliated crews Fat Worm Of Error and Noise Nomads are each doing a set as well. The Sonic...

Kevin Shields wasn't the only one doing interviews at ATP. After his Don't Look Back set, looking back on Psychic Hearts, Thurston Moore sat with a Rolling Stone film crew to offer his thoughts on the ATP Festival past and present. Predictable topic, but the video interview is interesting mostly because it's Thurston and everything Thurston says and does I find fascinating (and also because he ...

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...
