Almost exactly a decade ago, Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore announced that they were separating. This essentially marked the end of Sonic Youth, the band that the two of them had led for a very long time. Since then, all the members of Sonic Youth have gone on to other projects, and they haven’t exactly had a ton of warm things to say about one another. Still, it appears that the former members of Sonic Youth still share some of the same goals and values. Today, for Bandcamp Friday, they’ve released a pair of live albums to benefit a cause close to their hearts.

Sonic Youth recently road tested some of The Eternal in South America and since then have been working on a bunch of projects that actually have nothing to do with their much-anticipated Matador debut. Thurston Moore curated one of Spencer Sweeney & Stereogum's Santa's Sessions and laid down guitar and vocals on Jemina Pearl's new album. He ...
Can't promise this clip to offer a clear line on the lyrical schemes at play on The Eternal (try the album excerpt collage or Thurston's admission of black metal inspiration), because it is fan-made and far, but those seeking sonic insight will be satisfied. According to a YouTube commenter they played this song in Milan 9/10/2008, but it was ca...
