@@rdwrdw3672 i don't recall anyone talking about how hot kim gordon was back in the late 80's like say, madonna or samantha fox. i was one of maybe 3 people i knew who liked sonic youth when i was growing up, and we all thought kim was attractive, but it was the music that got us to buy the albums.
that's the look of self actualization. it takes some guts to get there but anyone with the commitment to be their full self has the potential to be an absolute badass.
I love everything about this. an indie media interview with a great indie artist, the recognizable blurs of NYC... still in great quality for us to see. it's a low-key miracle that we get to see this here, now. thanks so much for sharing! was this originally for some independent documentary or for a public access show or what?
I once admitted to a then girlfriend that Kim Gordon was one of my weird crushes, she wasn't familiar with Sonic Youth so I had to look up a picture. After which she went "SERIOUSLY?" I explained to her that what made Kim Gordon attractive is her whole being, completely at ease with who she is and taking shit from nobody. Kim Gordon is the queen of alternative rock.
to think that she is just 3 years younger than my dad. When I saw Sonic Youth perform 5 years ago she was dancing like a young girl, really like a young girl, not like an old lady trying to forget her age
such a sexy woman. but anyone can be sexy. she is talented and completely unique. I worship the bass playing on EVOL & Sister. serving the song and not the instrument. bless you Kim G!
Mike Watt and Thurston did the best bass parts of both albums. If you listen to the isolated bass track of "Goo" here on RUclips, you can really hear how absolutely shitty her bass playing really is. It's kind of amazing really how well it works, though, underneath Lee and Thurston's layers of noise. But, it's amazing how bad she really is at bass and I'm not a bass player or musico dork. She's off time, doesn't pick consistently hard at all, both of which are pretty much the most important aspects of what a bass player is supposed to do, but worst of all, you can hear on that isolated "Goo" bass track that she often accidentally doesn't even hit the right note. So, like, her finger lands on the fret next to where she meant to land and it's off-key, but I guess they're like, "oh well, she's not getting any better, I guess that will have to do..." The bass slides are comical to listen to because you hear her get halfway to where she's supposed to slide to but for whatever reason she didn't make it and so she has to jump back to the next part or miss it. It honestly sounds like a kid who's been practicing a couple months at best. WEIRD.
@@AtacamaHumanoid you say you aren’t a music nerd then go on to analyze her bass playing, get a life instead of trying to find reasons to knock her playing. Also if you don’t play then don’t have an opinion on it loser
i was gonna say, damn kim is awesome, and that she's always the singer on my favorite SY songs, but now i think i'll point out instead, how over half of these comments deal with how she looks. :(:(:(
Sonic Youth are like an in joke. Except there's no actual joke. It's just a game of making people try and figure out what's so funny. Which is kind of funny...
please tell me sy isn't like most of the rest of the music industry ... not in on the dark political shit... their creativity is unsurpassed.. they can't be down with the gvt :(
As a female, I don't think males are to blame for female oppression,&blaming them is just going to make them think womens' rights supporters are irrational/hateful. Both males & females are to blame,for perpetuating harmful gender-based ideas w/o even meaning to.It's mothers who lovingly tell daughters their wedding day will be the greatest day of their lives,it's women who willingly quit their jobs & studies to follow a man around, then say it was 'empowering' because it was their own choice.
She hates that song. She's not down with the studio industry dictating what she is going to sing. She hates lydia lunch and lydia lunch hates everyone. Cept moi. Hahahahahaha
Her thoughts are deeply vapid with a under normal conditions, problem solving disorder or feet. The first step is a simple process of undermining her credibility. I don't think it's difficult for me to see what is happening directly in front of the store. She's not rock. She's not punk. She's all about being abusive and the punks roll with violence and she could assimilate in a community of murderers.
"Because umm bass and umm I'm a girl and all, and umm I'm an artist, and boys are sometimes really silly, and I kinda sing non-melody." This is what people idolize?

The irony that all these comments are a bunch of horndogs and that's the exact kind of thing Kim would probably scoff at.
She's a good looking chick. I'm sure dudes bought her music because of her looks...and she didn't care.
@@rdwrdw3672 i agree, she's very attrractive, but that wasn't why i bought the sonic youth albums as a teen.

@@moralcompass3252 two different genres. Madoona/ Sam Fox were pop stars....not genre - wise, the same as Sonic Youth in popularity
Practicing bass over her talking sounds like a Sonic Youth intro, try it, it's fun.
music over her voice would sound like her new album. Lol
sounds like she's gonna go into "Kool Thing" at any given time during this interview lol
LMFAO!
jryuwah lol nice but the song wasn't even out yet at that time
I could listen to her all day.
I aspire to be like her. But she seems so much cooler than I could ever be.
It's true
That’s not true. Just be yourself and you’ll be as cool.

really thoughtful and interesting interview - happy to find this. i'm reading the bio - girl in a band, which is also really good.

Kim Gordon is the queen of alternative rock.
Dude. Had a crush on her since grade school.(back in mid 80's)
Still do. That's why I'm RUclips stalkin'
:D
She has an adorable voice
kim is a fucking goddess sent from punk rock heaven.
Her lyrics are enough to make up for whatever perceived shortcomings you see in her interview skillz.
Kim Gordon was always an artist
to think that she is just 3 years younger than my dad. When I saw Sonic Youth perform 5 years ago she was dancing like a young girl, really like a young girl, not like an old lady trying to forget her age
who gives a shit about you or your dad?
wow nice place to set an interview.
She's so cool.
i love her laugh after saying boys are silly

@@AtacamaHumanoid good thing she doesn’t consider herself a musician!
@@AtacamaHumanoidLol she is seriously not this bad.
she is so smart and cute! Thurston and Kim made a great band, and the other two guys.
i was gonna say, damn kim is awesome,
and that she's always the singer on my favorite SY songs,
but now i think i'll point out instead,
how over half of these comments
deal with how she looks.
:(:(:(
she is beautiful-
Was this interview happening with Kim while the other one was happening with Thurston at the apartment?
Damn! She got something alluring in her rough and gentle beauty.
omg she´s the definition of cool, that´s a real IT girl
Who wrote that book she's reading?
AND NO DISRESPECT TO THE PERSON WHO MADE THE COMMENT ABOUT KIM BEING COOLER THAN HER. JUST DON'T SELL URSELF SHORT, THAT'S ALL. DO YOU, THAT'S COOL!
i just love her.
I love that she’s a Taurus makes so much sense
@ninestraycats Yeah I know right, it's always like that with talented people. Their looks are always inevitably brought up at some point...
She looks great here, simply beautiful, there's something androgynous about which makes her even more attractive, and her voice is sexy, too.
ugh shes sooo cooool
Beautiful woman with a sexy voice...so very special! a kind of female David Bowie....those days NYC was really something and they are gone forever.
she's so cool
KIM ALTHEA GORDON
28 DE ABRIL DE 1953
69 AÑOS (70)
Amazing video.
Imagine a Martin Scorsese or Tarantino movie of Kim and Kurt, meeting in the 1980s
@grunge6910: We're not THAT bad, are we (I'm not corporate, though)?
John Frusciante is a fucking urban legend fir his drug use. I don't think anybody ever was as hardcore as him and lived
@godwhyisthistaken haha! "and the other two guys". lee renaldo wrote some of my favorite SY songs.
Not really. Please...elaborate.
Everything Cobain ripped off. Completely respect and adore her
pretty sure I'm in love with this girl
What's Junkie's Promise about then?
whats she reading? at 4:40
with that camera was filmed this?
Was this part of a film or TV series?
Are you sure? Where did you hear that?
She's such a babe
1:34
I get ya. Thanks!
What about the book she mentioned??
Can I use portions of this interview for a video? I'd like to set it to music of my own composition.
Kim Gordon 🖤🖤🖤🖤
At times she reminds me of Mrs. Patti Smith.
Neuroneos well she mentions in more recent interviews that she was one of her inspirations
Such a cool chick and such a great smile
Am I the only one who thinks Kim sounds like Katey Sagal (voice of Leela)?? probably
This is not 1988.
in love.
"Drugs much", does that mean they were slightly into drugs? Just been wondering.
I shouldn't say this cause I really like her. But I can kind of tell by the way she acts.
Am I the only one who thinks she's tripping in this interview?
Tripping on heroine
@@filipecoutinho5706 they didn’t do heroin
@@dds4585 yeaaa .. how would you know ..
Really? I had no idea
So, she thinks she isn't an artist as a musician?
Kim looks gorgeous in this video
like John Frusciante ?
LSD much, Kim? Um. . .LOL!
i don t think so
Kim looks so fucking beautiful in this video
Didn't realize she is such a space-cadet.
COOL IS A STATE OF MIND. COOL COMES IN MANY FORMS ALSO....TOO EASY TO FIGURE OUT.
@VickieIsHere1 That's because she is pretty skinnny.
theu are all beautiful
LOL, Sing Sing. Awesome
@bob sakamano EXCUSE ME PUNK?! >:( YA LEAVE THE PRINCE O DARKNESS ALONE?! *SLAP*
She’s a tough cookie but very sensual great combination
i love women and thats whats it is all about man love our woman!

seems a little bit out to lunchy ...
She seems pretty cool. Would be fun to jam with her.

@grunge6910 really? oppression is a self-imposed sense. the key to true liberation lies within each of us.
@placeboaremygodes huuum maybe .. on weed
rock chic coke skinny
I love her, Girl in a Band is one of the best biographical books I've ever read, but... she's so boring to listen to.
She on Coke?
She seems obsessed with the differences between "girls" and "boys," like a 5th grader.
She hates that song. She's not down with the studio industry dictating what she is going to sing. She hates lydia lunch and lydia lunch hates everyone. Cept moi. Hahahahahaha
