what is the kathleen hanna and thurston moore incident at lollapalooza that i occasionally see reference to but can find no elaboration on?

― matthew james (matthew james), Monday, 6 September 2004 17:24 (twenty-one years ago)

um, i think thats to do with the kathleen hanna vs. courtney love punchup, which thurston wrote about in a book of online diary entries.

I think that might be his dad, who's some sort of professor and wrote a few books on country music way back when:

He also runs EcstaticPeace.com, a music, art, and literature website.

So, has anyone bothered to check out ecstaticpeace.com yet?

I was hoping this was going to be about Kim Gordon being a man. Or Jim O'Rourke being a woman.

Those would be revelations?

― Zeno, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 22:21 (sixteen years ago)

otm re savage detectives

― choom gangsta (deej), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 22:23 (sixteen years ago)

the only thing i feel like checking is
"8. Malkuth - black metal trio from NYC with members from No Neck Blues Band, which maybe shouldn’t work but DOES. A very real grasp of the defiled-music tenets of BM."

but i don't think they recorded anything yet.
anyone see them live?

― Zeno, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 22:24 (sixteen years ago)

Reading comments is better than reading the actual list.

― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 22:26 (sixteen years ago)

even if I don't agree with most of them, Thurston's Top 10 are always a nice escape from web 2.x...

The comments are best web 2.x self parody ever

― soyrizo headache (Mackro Mackro), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 22:26 (sixteen years ago)

yeah,like
"I'm surprised the check he got from Starbucks for that crappy comp didn't make the list."

― Zeno, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 22:27 (sixteen years ago)

hey thurston, you might listen to all that avant garde noise stuff before me, but at least i read 2666 before you!

― Zeno, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 22:33 (sixteen years ago)

BV comments is a new circle of hell on every post

― dmr, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 22:35 (sixteen years ago)

otm re savage detectives

am I the only person that didn't like this book

kinda seems like it

― dmr, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 22:36 (sixteen years ago)

the amazon average score is pretty low so i don't think youre the only one.
(i liked it)

― Zeno, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 22:38 (sixteen years ago)

six months pass...

i don't really give a hooey what thurston thinks abt most things but the Malkuth records are quite good. 2nd one is better--better recording, stronger/more diverse songs, and still in print afaik.

― ian, Tuesday, 28 July 2009 18:49 (sixteen years ago)

one year passes...

"benediction" is the gentlest song. how refreshing. never thought i'd hear such a loud cello on a thurston moore record. wonder if it's samara lubelski

― reggie (qualmsley), Saturday, 14 May 2011 18:38 (fourteen years ago)

probably -- wasn't that her all over trees?

― markers, Saturday, 14 May 2011 19:03 (fourteen years ago)

i think? this is way better than that one, and i liked that one quite a bit. "in silver rain with a paper key" sounds like nick drake, "space" like early bowie. album of the year perhaps

― reggie (qualmsley), Saturday, 14 May 2011 19:29 (fourteen years ago)

i kind of couldn't believe what a dream-group he put together for the last one, so curious to hear this

― sensual bathtub (group: 698) (schlump), Saturday, 14 May 2011 20:17 (fourteen years ago)

no idea who's on this one, don't have any info. but i do know it is flat out grade-a gorgeous music. in the first blush of record infatuation can't help but feel it's my favorite thing he's been involved in since murray street

― reggie (qualmsley), Saturday, 14 May 2011 20:36 (fourteen years ago)

It's Samara Lubelski and Mary Lattimore, produced by Beck (!) [?]
