A Nice Pair: Thurston Moore

Before we delve into this week’s Nice Pair, just a reminder that we are:
– OPEN today from 11:00 am – 4:00 pm.
– We will then be CLOSED from Monday, December 30th through Friday, January 3rd.
– We’ll re-open and be back to our regular hours as of next Saturday, January 4th.

A now, over to today’s book and vinyl pairing! Today we’re featuring Thurston Moore, founding member of Sonic Youth.

His recently released long-awaited memoir, Sonic Life, gives an in-depth look into his life and career with Sonic Youth. It’s not just about the band; it’s also a fascinating history of the U.S. underground arts scene from the 1970s punk era to the 1990s grunge movement. Thurston shares personal stories, his musical influences, and the creative chemistry between band members and his book is a great read for anyone interested in Sonic Youth or the evolution of alternative rock.

We’re pairing Sonic Life with the Indie Exclusive version of the Sonic Youth album In/Out/In – an album-formatted collection of previously unheard Sonic rarities from the legendary band’s 2000-2010 era, most for the first time on any physical format. Essential listening for the band’s hardcore fans and for enthusiasts of instrumental rock.
