THE 2ND (THIRD IF YOU COUNT THE BASQUIAT MIX)

OF OUR MIXES FROM OR RELATING TO NEW YORK CITY.

AND THIS TIME PRESENTED BY WIRESHAKER…….

In 1975, Connecticut-raised gangling teen-aged Stooges fanatic Thurston Moore found himself spending more and more time travelling the 70 miles between his suburban hometown and the scuzz pits of NYC. Joints like Max’s Kansas City and CBGBS.

Ears and mind wide open, he absorbed the new sounds of the city: the first stirrings of punk and later no wave, and soon overcame his inherent shyness to become an active participant himself, mingling in the circles around Patti Smith and Lydia Lunch.

Of course, he eventually found himself in a band which, after the obligatory line-up and name changes, ended up as Sonic Youth. And the rest is…

Inspired by his recent autobiography, here’s a selection of the sounds which he would have encountered in the Big Apple.
