L.A. prides itself on newness or being the last frontier or just not liking old things and tearing them down to build new things. But Malibu history is interesting to me.

In the early eighties, there were a lot of artists involved with the music scene. All those young artists, before their careers took off, were into music. Robert Longo used to play some guitar.

No one talks about woman power. The Spice Girls - they're masquerading as little girls. It's repulsive. Kim Gordon girlmasqueradepower Change image and share on social
There's only so many small shows you can do. A lot of the smaller things are more side project things. Not everything is appropriate for Sonic Youth to do. Kim Gordon lotprojectshow Change image and share on social
I can't think about whether I'll disappoint Sonic Youth fans. It's not like I want people to be disappointed, but I just can't control that. Kim Gordon controldisappointfan Change image and share on social
