Kim Gordon - GIRL IN A BAND

did i ever post itt? Read it last night over like 4 days (that's really fast for me) and concur totally. Her writing is very unostentatious but often (esp when she is writing about olden CA times) she just really nails a certain feeling/vibe in the least showy way.

i went to the danny elfman film music concert at lincoln center friday night and I was thinking about young him and young kim messing with each others' hearts, so weird.

four days in one night IS fast!

Lol

"last night" = "last month"

An excellent read, beautiful prose and an unusual nonlinear narrative structure, really captivating, and she bears all about Thurston and his hijinks to boot. Really enjoyed her descriptions of life in Southern California and of the complex relationship she has with her troubled brother. One of, if not the, best written rock bios I've read, and without the help of a co-author!

was hoping for more details about the mid-late 90s sonic youth albums, which she barely touched on. first half of the book is well-engrossing, though

I love Kim Gordon. I view her as a role model. she doesn't seem to get hung up on things, good or bad.
she always seems to be in the moment. she does things because they are fun to do.

I think those first seven SY albums will be my friends for life.

I feel bad that she has to answer so many stupid questions on the book tour.

i think i'm at least a year behind in the "worst music writing ever thread" so I dunno if someone has helpfully posted it there as well.
