I think that might be his dad, who's some sort of professor and wrote a few books on country music way back when:http://dogbert.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?imagefield.x=36&an=thurston+moore&cm_re=A*Search+Box*Form&tn=hillbilly&imagefield.y=21

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 (seventeen years ago)
Reading comments is better than reading the actual list.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 22:26 (seventeen 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

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

BV comments is a new circle of hell on every post

am I the only person that didn't like this book
kinda seems like it
― dmr, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 22:36 (seventeen 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 (seventeen years ago)
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 (seventeen years ago)
"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 (fifteen years ago)
probably -- wasn't that her all over trees?
― markers, Saturday, 14 May 2011 19:03 (fifteen 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 (fifteen 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 (fifteen 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 (fifteen years ago)
It's Samara Lubelski and Mary Lattimore, produced by Beck (!) [?]
