Masturbation And Rowland S. Howard – Thurston Moore’s Taste Test
The Sonic Youth founder and solo artist runs us through some important songs from his life.
When we recently asked Thurston Moore a few questions about the music that he loves and that means a lot to him in a personal sense, the artist replied with some curt, sharp and pretty hilarious responses.
On the eve of his forthcoming solo tour, we figured we'd share those responses with you on theMusic.com.au.
