My guest mixer this week is Thurston Moore
Thurston is, of course, a founder member of the premier noise-rock band of the late 20th / early 21st century, Sonic Youth. Post-SY, he has had a rich and varied career including a multitude of solo projects and collaborations as well as a well-worth-reading memoir, Sonic Life.
This is another longer than usual episode, but hey... it's Thurston Moore ferchrissakes...
