Thurston Moore Interview 30th September 1988 (Part1)

[@joegonzalez91]

i like this episode of hoarders.

[@qwertyfla]

what a great fucking record for a gift.

[@neonbackpackk]

he's like an alien prophet. he looks like no one else. and i can't stop listening to his voice. ecstatic peace :) he uses funny words. what an interesting character :) cool guy. coolest guy.

[@FromTheRoomOfLittleEase]

You would have liked the late 80s and early 90s. Lots of guys like him around. Not to say they were the average dude or anything, but there were a dozen or a couple guys like this in every city/town. This is one if the archetypal indie rock guy/personality/apartments. Like Elvis, James Dean, John Lennon, it's one of those 'types' that were rare but common. Everybody knew a dude like this. Give or take a couple tendencies or abilities. That doesn't make any of those people less special, they were just some of the cooler people of their time.

[@sourcedirect4467]

take it ez there buddy

[@daniellemonier2688]

Love this, so cool to see where Thurston and Kim lived during their creative peak. Anybody got more recs as far as videos of musicians in their homes?

[@curtis5979]

He's so cute

[@greenplant]

TV Guy: How do you cover your costs? Thurston: I don't pay for anything...

[@SchindlerHaughton]

He seems like such a nice guy in this interview.

[@THATGUYKEEGS]

my friend mike gira he has a band called swans that you might know. ( :

[@ekardnamable]

been pronouncing gira wrong my whole musical life

[@qotsajr]

Swans is awesome man

[@LDVenus-kz2lc]

when you posted this To Be Kind wasnt even out yet damn

[@deathbypowerglove]

It's shocking to me, how old Thurston is vs how he looks. But age is simply experience anyways

[@Mr_Boifriend]

✨ all right friends September 30th, 2020 - 32 years tonight! The world is a different place. See you next year, at the latest ✨

[@68redneck67]

This is like a non moronic and way more awesome version of mtv cribs

[@absolving]

Apartment tour, what a treat

[@crochetnoway]

Aw...Thurston - what a charmer.

[@johnsmith-vg5rx]

haha nicholas cave a singer from england, made me chuckle

[@XxxkenzaxxX]

THIS IS AN AMAZING INTERVIEW. Like the best interview I've ever watched... I love this.

[@nymetsrock]

the sounds in the background are classic new york

[@-.CELESTE.-]

Wow....awesome..I'm from BK and I appreciate the noise

[@SierNotsruht]

I'm named after this dude and I'm glad I am

[@nejtack8434]

”You know I have like a file and photo of people I’m interested in” I’ve watched this interwiev like 5 times and never taken notice of that Honastly I’m a tad bit scared

[@flannsixtyseven7489]

now i feel slightly less weird that my place looks similar to that (still now that i am in my early 50s) i like it

[@coldacre]

Nick Cave.... a singer from England..... Ha!!

[@FredZepplin]

i feel like i should be laughing a lot while watching this but im too stupid to understand the jokes

[@nimusworks5475]

uowww..now thats something!!ahah

[@SaintMartins]

Well Nick Cave & his band "The Birthday Party" did move to The UK & based themselves there in 1980. Cave continued to live there until 2017 when he & his family moved to Los Angeles. So by 1988 it's was fair for Thurston to say he's from England. Stop being a hipster, elitist wannabe.

[@ekardnamable]

birthday party was based out of england

[@chadmossholder]

Thurston is a genius.

[@steadystates1]

Here's some grapes.

[@ZeldaFoxEars]

he's mad chill.

[@phnigra111]

I'm a bit late to the party on this interview.. but it's quite a treat! Madonnas did some photos with Richard Kern way back?! Hoping the part 2 is posted🤞🏼cheers

[@Thumped]

parts 2 & 3 are linked in the description

[@jonnyobrien1497]

Interesting...

[@JohnnyCashavetes]

For whatever reason, the impromptu Harry Crews slideshow (with commentary) cracked me up.

[@XxxkenzaxxX]

Well okay, not the best interview ever, but pretty awesome because of the setting and the cool stuff he shows us and the things they talk about. And the fact that it's Thurston Moore, you know, is pretty cool too.

[@diskochimp]

This is the unedited version of their South Bank Show interview, right? I taped that programme back in the '80s (circa Daydream Nation), it's really great to see the entire thing after all this time, thanks. :)

[@Sarzzy59]

He's such a cool guy haha love him

[@Merlo_77]

He was 30 years old at the time, but he looked like 15

[@parisb5148]

[@vacuumnoise]

Excellent footage.

[@SeltaebEht]

Glinda Quadling His birthday was in July. It was September when this was filmed, which means he was 30. 1958 + 30 = 1988

[@iprobablylikedyourvideo2231]

@Alimantado91 haha awesome man. I didnt know he used to be into mime. And doesnt "Piccolo" mean short or little? Thurston's like 6"6' :P

[@superdeluxesmell]

Thurston Moore always strikes me as somebody who would have been ‘successful’ no matter what path he took in life. I don’t like that.

[@billscanlan5639]

Could you elaborate on this? This is a fascinating take and if you wouldn’t mind I would love to hear more on this theory.

[@orangerollsangelspit]

⁠@@billscanlan5639lmao this comment creeps me out. I hope this person will give us an answer lmao I’m very curious

[@boobtuber06]

If you listen to him in the clips, he has a devoted work ethic and very proactive; Think how many albums they put out

[@fogpumas]

Yeah… Connecticut trust fundie 💯

[@waskerbasket9601]

Fuckin bastard. Being all successful n’ shit. What a loser.

[@fakeis751]

The bars

[@neonbackpackk]

thurston would be mad mad mad mad cool if he had a little sense of humor. he seems to weird himself out a little bit. he should laugh at himself and those old drawings and shit. smart dude. love him.

[@FromTheRoomOfLittleEase]

He was. He was being humble and "cracking jokes like Thurston more" (lyric from Gimmie Indie Rock by Sebadoh? Watch "1991: The Year Punk Broke" unless you're joking yourself, of course. He's famously the class clown of indie rock.

[@delilasloan8914]

This is all Thurston's humor..

[@ericfoster8411]

This is like wandering around someone’s head

[@kryptichands968]

I love that he digs black flag

[@FromTheRoomOfLittleEase]

He famously once did an impromtu cover of the entire first side of "My War" at a show. Sonic was on SST records for awhile. I've always seen them and Dinosaur as a part of the extended Black Flag family. The Meat Puppets and Chemical People too. To name a few. It's all one story.

Nicholas Edward Cave (n. Warracknabeal, Australia, 22 de septiembre de 1957), más conocido como Nick Cave, es un músico, escritor y actor australiano. Es famoso especialmente por su trabajo con el grupo Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, fundado en 1983 con una mezcla diversa de influencias y estilos musicales. Antes de The Bad Seeds, Cave perteneció al grupo The Birthday Party, conocido por su rock gótico, sus letras desafiantes y un sonido violento influido por el free jazz, el blues y el post-punk. En 2006 formó con Warren Ellis Grinderman un grupo paralelo a The Bad Seeds que publicó su primer álbum al año siguiente.

[@squab154]

Ok but why was he so mean to nardwuar :(

[@FromTheRoomOfLittleEase]

People find that interview confusing and radically misinterpret it. People haven't seen how real people acted back then before and don't have much ability to accurately guage what's going on in a situation like that. Also they lack context. It's pretty funny if you knew how these things really went down back then. Everybody doesn't always act in a way that is explicitly self explanatory all the time. Intelligent people rarely do. Especially when they are goofing arpund, which is not done at all these days. Having character and being alive and wild is unheard of, and no, by that I don't mean "being mean" if you haven't experienced it you definitely don't know. It's like the taste of salt, you gotta try it, you can't guess or have it explained to you. But if you want I can try. The other aspect is something else people have trouble with: deciphering FILMED behavior and the show of interviews. Like when people don't get that everything on a nighttime talk show is rehearsed. All parties agree on exactly what will transpire before hand and people in the KZbin comment section 40 years later are like "why are they treating her like she's dumb?" When that was the agreed angle for the shtick. That "she" probably asked them to play along with. So much to go over.

[@douglaspouch5313]
