Kim Gordon
Girl in a Band
Girl in a Band
A very interesting story of Kim's childhood and early adulthood... weirdly until she joined Sonic Youth when the story gets a lot less interesting and seems to be just about the songs and band. OK, what did I expect? Quite a lot is about what a shit Thurston was (is? - I didn't get that far) and how Sonic Youth were the most innovative band ever with a fair bit of writing off others. All this I had a real problem with as SY were good but not the best. Also dismisses English music scene at the time which shows that Kim has a very poor understanding of the underground scene and indeed breaking bands, DJs and other music makers. I got so bored I gave up. Couldn't face hearing about a marital break up as if it's the first ever.
