One of the coolest contemporary artists working. Currently she has two singles out that are both falling in the vein of a modern day Kim Gordon. As a model, she combines the heroin chic of the 90s with a 70s punk aesthetic. She’s a style icon, always has a hairstyle that’s enviable, and is dating the effortlessly cool, Earl Cave. Check out her work, she rocks.

“Personally, I like when things fall apart.”
If you’re familiar with Sonic Youth and like the music at all, you’ll want to read this. In her memoir, Kim Gordon talks about growing up in LA in the 60s and 70s in a family of progressive academics, and later living in New York City in the era of Andy Warhol and the Velvet Underground. She talks about the advent of the no wave movement and noise rock. She tells stories of her and former husband Thurston Moore‘s adventures forming and evolving as Sonic Youth for 40 years.
My favorite thing in the book was when she shared her disappointment in Rick Rubin after he told her in an interview his favorite band was Bon Jovi.

Poet & songwriter best known as the frontman of “Silver Jews,“ and the lesser known “Purple Mountains,“ Berman has a way of exploring the beauty in the darker aspects of life. Berman tragically took his in 2019. He had such a special way with words both as a poet and a songwriter. My favorite song of his, “Famous Eyes” is linked above.

Founded in 1995, Broadcast was an English band that drew influences from 60s psychedelia, electronic, and experimental music. Following the death of their lead singer in 2011, Broadcast has found a new life and a cult following due to the mystery surrounding the band. I’ve linked my favorite album, Tender Buttons above.

Due to the involvement of the US Military Sponsoring SXSW, many bands and artists have opted to pull out of SXSW as protest for the ongoing genocide and Ethnic Cleansing in Palestine. I’m very proud of my friends from Perfectly Imperfect and Baby’s All Right for dropping out of SXSW, and for standing in solidarity with the people of Palestine. Free Palestine 🍉
