Video: Thurston Moore | Benediction / Blood never lies | A Take Away Show

As the guitarist for the way beyond influential band, Sonic Youth, Thurston Moore is a man who needs no introduction. He's fuckin' Thurston Moore, man. But what can you expect from Thurston Moore Monday night when he plays the Beachland Tavern with John Moloney? Could we see something from his new, post-Sonic Youth band, Chelsea Light Moving? John Moloney is the drummer for Moore's new outfit, but if we were in for a Chelsea Light Moving show, wouldn't it be billed as such? We might get something from Moore's latest [...]

Thurston Moore has been a music scene fixture for nearly 30 years. You might think that, at 53, the former Sonic Youth guitarist would be thinking about retirement. But you'd be wrong. Moore returned yet again this spring with the Beck-produced  Demolished Thoughts, a thoughtful, meandering album that takes his talents in a new (and no less interesting) direction. Though Moore's reputation was built on experimental rock, Demolished Thoughts is a tight succession of folksy acoustic songs, full of harps, violins and 12-string guitars. Its attention to detail and melodic flourishes will win Moore new fans. [...]

There were a few things I was scared of as a kid. My grandfather was one of them. I wasn’t scared of most insects; in fact I used to catch all sorts of buggers like dragonflies of all different types, crickets and beetles, but I would cringe at the sight of praying mantises. I was also scared of saint statues for fear that they would suddenly come to life. I take up after my grandfather in that we are both in charge of laundry. I used to watch my grandfather hand-wash all our clothes, [...]

If you're as constantly fascinated by Sonic Youth's seemingly limitless array of arcane gear as we are, then rejoice – they're putting some of it for sale on eBay! The sale part of an auction to raise money for a charity called ShelterBox – according to their  website , they "respond instantly to natural and manmade disasters by delivering boxes of aid to those who are most in need." There's a variety of kit available right now, with more to be added. Personally, we quite like the look of the old drum machine – but check out a selection of [...]

A série Take Away Shows, idealizada por Vincent Moon e fundamentada no blog francês La Blogothéque, já nos presenteou com momentos icônicos, das influentes caminhadas do Beirut através de prédios até cenas do Arcade Fire apresentando seu som multi-instrumental em um claustrofóbico elevador.

Aproveitando o lançamento do elogiado disco solo Demolished Thoughts , Thurston Moore recebeu a equipe da Blogothéque em seu apartamento em New York. O resultado? Dois vídeos que contam, é [...]

Thurston Moore recently performed three cuts from his latest solo effort Demolished Thoughts for a La Blogotheque Take Away Show.

Thurston Moore discusses his musical origins in New York in this La Blogotheque presentation, which is shot in the city that helped make his name. Naturally CBGB's plays a big part in the tale—Moore claims he followed Joey Ramone down the street and asked him directions to the legendary video on his first visit. Aside from the tales Moore also performs a couple of tracks ("Blood Never Lies" and "Benediction") from the recently released Demolished Thoughts album, complete with violin accompaniment. Check it out above. [via La Blogotheque ]
