Thurston Moore

Sonic Youth’s classic 1990 album, Goo, turned 30 turned 30 last week and they’ve also uploaded new HD remasters of the “Kool Thing” and “Dirty Boots” videos.

Thurston Moore, Matt Sweeney, Chris Forsyth and others paid tribute to Orleans, the prolific guitarist and pedal steel player who played with Spore, Juneau, Enos Slaughter, and more in his 25+ year career…

Sonic Youth’s bandcamp archives keeps growing and today they’ve added Silver Session (For Jason Knuth), a 1998 release…

Thurston calls the new song ”an ode to the narcotic of love in our shared responsibility to each other during isolation.”

Archival Sonic Youth live recordings, previously unreleased Wylde Ratttz material, a recording of the only live performance by Kim Gordon’s Supreme Indifference, and more SY-related releases are out in time for today’s Bandcamp fundraiser…

Thurston Moore calls his new nine-minute instrumental “a new piece for new peace.”

Thurston debuted the song on his 2013 UK tour with Michael Chapman and recorded it in 2015 but never released it until now.

The episode also features Pavement’s Spiral Stairs, The Nude Party, Kelley Stoltz, Anna Burch, and more.

The 1987 Master-Dik EP includes a cover of Ramones’ “Beat on the Brat” and more; Live at ATP 2000 featured most of NYC Ghosts & Flowers which had yet to be released.

”Blastic Scene was recorded live at Sonic Youth’s first ever concert in Portugal, at a bull-ring in Lisbon, in July 1993” says drummer Steve Shelley. ”SY had not yet recorded the songs that would make up EJST&NS but previewed several new songs nightly of the July European tour.”
