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 newspaper is briefly discussed, and then dismissed for speculation about the content...

The family that laughs together... Can survive anything. Be thankful for loved ones. Its a strange mood I'm in today. The feast has been consumed, there are many in the house and most are sleeping. I've been bouncing around readin' random posts from trusted Mogs, readin' the news and reviews. This place has changed so much in t... MOREThere is alawys a reason to be thankful. I cried because I had no shoes, until I saw the man with no stereo. remember

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 later. This year front man Thurston Moore has released another solo effort on his ... MORE

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-minded punks cram into a house usually intended to accommodat... MORE

It's been 12 years since Thurston's last solo album; it was worth the wait.

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.
"Trees Outside The Academy", though, is what some might call a "proper" album, if... MORE

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 I compose on my own I'll bring into Sonic Youth and we'll turn it into ... MORE

i love this album.
atonal dissonance.
SWEET SWEET SWEET.
with Tim Foljahn, guitar
and 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 standard lexicon of detatched vocals, dissonant guitar lines, and ... MORE

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 thought that was kind of cool. I have not read THurston Moore's book on the subj... MORE
