Artist: Thurston Moore

Nine minutes of the Sonic Youth mastermind discussing skateboarding culture.

Todos los años este festival nos sorprende con las bandas que conforman su cartel, en esta ocasión Thurston Moore y Lee Ranaldo quienes son 2 de los 6 integrantes de Sonic Youth presentarán sus proyectos por separado para complacencia de todos los fans de esta banda neoyorquina que sin duda marcó época para el rock alternativo en [...]

Nada mais se sabe além da data -- 12 de Março -- prometendo a ZDB avançar com mais informação em breve, de acordo com a bomba deixada há poucos minutos via facebook.

I bought this on CD back in 1995 after seeing a live performance of Mike Watt featuring Eddie Vedder and Dave Grohl performing "Big Train" on John Stewart's late night show . Remember that show? Ball-Hog Or Tugboat? is anything but consistent as its detractors will undoubtedly raise as it's main flaw. Yes, it's Mike Watt showcasing his incredible cast of musical friends. But, you can't argue with songs like Piss-Bottle Man (featuring vocals by Evan Dando), Chinese Firedrill (featuring vocals by Frank Black), [...]

El 2012 recién comienza y las buenas noticias también. Una de ellas es la octava edición de el pequeño gran festival, Indie-O Fest . Festival que desde el 2005 reúne a lo mejor de la música independiente, y queda muy claro que este año no es la excepción. Dicen los organizadores: "En esta ocasión, se trata de una curaduría más ecléctica y mutifacética, llena de coloridos musicales provenientes de emocionantes rincones de la escena independiente". Destaca la participación de 2 ex integrantes de Sonic Youth , [...]

Una vez más, y como lleva siendo habitual desde hace 8 años consecutivos, vuelve ** Indie-O Fest , un festival de música que nació en 2005 y que poco a poco ha ido ganando popularidad y por supuesto buenos artistas. Las anteriores ediciones destacaron por la inclusión de bandas como Los Campesinos, o Hello Seahorse!, que deleitaron a los asistentes en 2009, o Little Dragon y The Big Pink, que lo hicieron en 2010. Y esta nueva edición 2012 no se queda atrás, con interesantes grupos que acaban de ser anunciados. Los platos fuertes son sin duda Thurston [...]

by BBG Rhyton , featuring Dave Shuford (No Neck Blues Band, D. Charles Speer), Jimy SeiTang (Psychic Ills), and Spencer Herbst (Messages, Matta Llama), specialize in space-y psychedelia that tips its hat to greats of the genre including Krautrock titans like Can. The largely-improvisational troupe is currently prepping to release their new self-titled LP on January 24th via Thrill Jockey and will celebrate said release with a show on January 26th at Shea Stadium alongside special guests Electroputas , [...]

This week in NYC shows is another mellow one compared to the normal onslaught of great concerts, but there are definitely some interesting happenings, including the New York Guitar Festival, Girls and Real Estate at Terminal 5, and Brother Past's return to Brooklyn Bowl...

Fan's dragon fly at Flaming Lips show, Sasquatch Music Festival in Memorial Day weekend. It's no secret that I take a lot of pictures. What's becoming less of a secret, though, is that I'm becoming less bad at it. Having spent so long as a photo editor, I'm naturally a bit more critical of photographs -- and especially my own. But thanks to lens upgrades (purchasing a 50mm prime, renting a 70-200mm) and software (Lightroom, Picknik), I'm getting awfully close to taking photos that I can [...]

Although Demolished Thoughts was released before the announcement of the breakup of Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon, it is unavoidably a document of this personal and professional transition. Most albums require a significant amount of time to pass -- a year, five years, a decade -- before a new perspective can be reached in regards to their value and meaning after initial release. This tacit rule doesn't hold true with Thurston Moore's recent solo album Demolished Thoughts (Matador, 2011). The announcement of the marital split between Moore and Kim Gordon, both founding members of Sonic [...]

What a great, interesting year for music consumption. Spotify gave me the ability to discover tons of new music and keep up with the current scene, while iTunes Match allowed me to rediscover music that was collecting dust on my disconnected external hard drive. My favorite albums of 2011 are filled with the usual suspects that I've come to love over the years (Wilco, The Decemberists), but this year, more than ever, are a bunch of bands that are completely new to me. Here's a list, complete with MP3s, streams, videos, and whatever relevant links I could put [...]

Live on From The Basement. I wish I could tell you otherwise... but sadly, oh glorious Internet patron and Sonic Youth lover, the title did not lead your eyes astray; this last October, Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon , co-creators and minds behind Sonic Youth, have filed for a divorce after 27 years of marriage, putting the future of Sonic Youth itself in an ominous fog. There is not much to report on this subject, seeing as the future is and will remain a giant speculative grey area until [...]

We at MetalSucks have dealt with the paradoxes involved with conducting a poll to determine great guitar players (read our 25 Best Modern Metal Guitarists poll here)! So we get that in a unweighted vote, the top-ranked axemen may just represent those liked by the largest number of voters; i.e. a dude who we agree is [...]

Thurston Moore - Psychic Hearts (by TrigFilms ) Live, Dublin 27 Nov 2011

Filed under: News Will Ragozzino, Getty Images File this under unfortunate but not exactly surprising: Following last month's news that alt-rock's first couple, Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon , decided to separate, Sonic Youth are done for the foreseeable future. That's the word from guitarist Lee Ranaldo , who told Rolling Stone that the group's recent South American performances were "the last shows for a while," [...]

Hace un tiempo se dio a conocer la noticia que Thurston Moore y Kim Gordon -para los que no lo saben las bases de Sonic Youth y pareja desde hace años- se separarían . Si bien esto no afectaba a los fanáticos directamente sí todo cambió cuando comunicaron que no sabían que harían con el futuro de la agrupación y si bien terminarían de realizar las presentaciones que tenían planeadas, después de eso, tendrían que ver cómo terminaba todo. Por ahora no hubo más novedades y lo único que sí se supo es [...]

They've since added a 30th anniversary celebration of Brian Eno 's Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks at the World Financial Center Winter Garden on January 6 . The show will be a [...]
