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.

Yesterday we heard Sonic Youth cover an old Beck song and vice versa. Today we've got Islands' Nick Thorburn covering an even older Beck song. "Cyanide Breath Mint" can be found on the newly reissued One Foot In The Grave. Islands' take adds drums and synths and is streaming on MySpace.

Sonic Youth: Beck Covers Sonic Youth
submitted by Nick Apr 21st 2009 04:01 am (stereogum.com)
On a Record Store Day exclusive split 7" that was nowhere to be found by the time I got to Other Music, Beck covered EVOL cut "Green Light" and The Sonik Youth returned the favor with a take on Mellow Gold dirge "Pay No Mind (Snoozer)." (The sales climb high through the garbage-pail sky/ like a giant dildo crushing the sun..., you remember.) Mat...

Sonic Youth: New Sonic Youth - "Sacred Trickster"
submitted by Nick Apr 20th 2009 04:00 pm (stereogum.com)
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 ...

Sonic Youth: New Sonic Youth - "Calming The Snake" (Live In Chile)
submitted by Nick Apr 2nd 2009 05:00 pm (stereogum.com)
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.
