Hard to figure out who's missing from the Brooklyn Book Festival's superlative lineup—Pynchon? DeLillo? The event, which takes place over the improbable course of one day—Sunday, September 14—around Brooklyn's Borough Hall, is if nothing else a humiliatingly accurate diagnosis of the neighborhood's literary tastes: ThurstonMoore and Ian MacKaye discussing the "parallel worlds of independent...
This week’s bizarre collision of talk TV and rock & roll comes to us from Australia, where Sonic Youth visited a morning show hosted by a woman who looks like a methed-up Gwen Stefani on a set that might have been vomited by Timothy Leary. Watching ThurstonMoore try to explain “No Wave” and nonchalantly [...]

Sonic Youth played the final ever show at Brooklyn's outdoor McCarren Pool venue on Saturday (August 30), marking the occasion by unexpectedly opening with two new songs. Guitarist ThurstonMoore explained to the crowd that the band had only just begun writing material for a new album in the past few days and the new songs didn't even have titles or real lyrics yet, but both were still...
photos by Lori Baily The poster says "McCarren Pool Bye Bye" because Saturday's show (August 30, 2008) was billed as the last show ever at McCarren Pool. If the city has their way, that statement will be true for McCarren Pool, to quote ThurstonMoore, "as we know it". That may not be 100% true though because the current renovation plans include some type of "performance space" along...
"We're very under-rehearsed," admitted singer/guitarist Thurston Moore as Sonic Youth kicked off a long, somewhat sloppy set - and Labor Day weekend - at a sold-out Theater of the Living Arts on Friday. The Converse-sponsored show paired the fabled art-rock band with the more recently beloved Hold Steady for a rub-your-eyes price of just $10, making it tough to complain about such a clear marketing...
The summer concert season at McCarren Park Pool came to a permanent close on Saturday with the last ever concert at the makeshift venue. The discussed swimming pool in Brooklyn has hosted some memorable shows over the last three years, and were a fine choice to bring the festivities to an end. The group played a set of mostly older material on Saturday, as well as two new songs, and Thurston...
All Tomorrow's Parties ... ATP... whatever you wan' call it... is approaching and, on paper, it looks great. The three-dayer, held at Minehead Butlins on December 5-7, is curated by Melvins and Mike Patton. On the line-up we got Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, who may not mean much to you on the face of things, but they're Lydia Lunch, Jim Sclavunos (Bad Seeds/Grinderman) and ThurstonMoore...

... of a certain stripe get to eventually. Our BYG awareness was raised considerably by the ThurstonMoore/Byron Coley-curated Jazz Actuel box set from several years ago. They likened the label’s remarkably potent discography to a can-opener for your head, peeling off the top to reveal a host of previously unsuspected possibilities. We’re hoping the Stop Smiling article by Patrick Sisson...
The Slip ’N Slide and the dodgeballs were packed up a week ago, and on Saturday night the three-year reign of the premier New York summertime concert space and playground came to a close.“Welcome to the end of McCarren pool as we know it,” ThurstonMoore said from the stage as his band, , played the final show at what had quickly become an indie-rock mecca. “But next year we’ll all be...
