New Video - Some New Stuff + BTS of My Radio Show

Here is my newest video. I've been a little under the weather lately, but I didn't want to fall behind on things, so I toughed it out and made a video anyway. In this one, I show off a few new records I've gotten in the last week or so, and then I offer a behind the scenes look at me doing my radio show, New Day Rising. I brought a camera along with me last week, and now you will know what it looks like when I'm presenting you with my three hours of radio excellence every week. Enjoy.

 

Thurston Moore on the BBC

I have been a huge Sonic Youth since the first time I ever heard them back in 1990 while in college. I like pretty much all of their albums (except for maybe NYC Ghosts and Flowers, I've still not quite warmed up to that one). I have never really gotten that much out of the individual members' solo material or non-Sonic collaborations with other artists. Until now. The new solo album from Thurston Moore, Trees Outside the Academy, is fantastic. The songs are primarily acoustic; and they sound like some of Thurston's catchier Sonic tunes done in a much quieter setting. J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. plays lead guitar on a few of the songs, as well.

I found this interesting interview of Thurston conducted by the BBC, where he talks about the making of the new record.
