This is so awesome. Its like hanging out with Thurston at his pad one night right after they recorded Daydream. Thank you for posting it uncut!
what a great fucking record for a gift.
i like this episode of hoarders.
Lived 1 block from there in '88. This was filmed at 84 Eldridge St. NYC.
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.
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.
He seems like such a nice guy in this interview.
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?
He's so cute
the sounds in the background are classic new york
Wow....awesome..I'm from BK and I appreciate the noise
Aw...Thurston - what a charmer.
my friend mike gira he has a band called swans that you might know. ( :
been pronouncing gira wrong my whole musical life
Swans is awesome man
haha nicholas cave a singer from england, made me chuckle
Apartment tour, what a treat
THIS IS AN AMAZING INTERVIEW. Like the best interview I've ever watched... I love this.
This is like a non moronic and way more awesome version of mtv cribs
I'm named after this dude and I'm glad I am
✨ all right friends September 30th, 2020 - 32 years tonight! The world is a different place. See you next year, at the latest ✨
This is like a cool punk rock verison of CRIBS :)
It's shocking to me, how old Thurston is vs how he looks.
But age is simply experience anyways
i've always wondered about that too. he's pretty much always looked 10 years younger than he actually is
he's mad chill.
TV Guy: How do you cover your costs?
Thurston: I don't pay for anything...
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. :)
Excellent footage.
”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
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
Nick Cave.... a singer from England..... Ha!!
i feel like i should be laughing a lot while watching this but im too stupid to understand the jokes
uowww..now thats something!!ahah
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.
birthday party was based out of england
He's such a cool guy haha love him
Thurston is a genius.
For whatever reason, the impromptu Harry Crews slideshow (with commentary) cracked me up.
He was 30 years old at the time, but he looked like 15
literally lol so crazy how young he still looks 2 this day
Here's some grapes.
"The first article is on the Beastie Boys before they turned into legendary...jerks."
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
parts 2 & 3 are linked in the description
Interesting...
he's sooooo cool i love him
Thanks for uploading this! Who made the interview and what was it made for?
I’ve seen parts of these (John Zorn CD, Thurston calling Lee) in the documentary “Put Blood In The Music.”
10:06 oh, dear! This is fantastic! There is a record on CZcams with a "song" of this guy ....
"This is like, something to contemplate"
Love that ukulele he's holding
feels like i’m hanging out with him ahaha whatta kool dude
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.
The guitar is Harmony Stratotone, sunburst
nope
best video on CZcams
GRAPES AND HOT WHEELS YEAHHH
I hope I'll look that young as well when I'll be 30

Amazing. That file cabinet is worth some $❤😂
Daydream nation is the best thing that i ever found
Wasn't it ala ?
I wish I knew how much he played in rent, ‘88 dollars
Hey can I have a vinyl copy of Sly Stone "there is a riot goin on"

But he was like in his 30's XD

Glinda Quadling His birthday was in July. It was September when this was filmed, which means he was 30. 1958 + 30 = 1988
logan No he was JUST thirty
I'm surprised he owned CDs.

I didnt know micheal gira was pronounced like that. I like when thurston says,"mikes a good guy, misunderstood."
legendary dufus!!! thats gonna be my record lable name!!!! :p
The ultimate alternative dude lol
true but had lived in london since 80/81
It's amazing how now he doesn't even need physical files he could just keep it on a computer and he could organize and search through it faster and easier.
"take a look at my computer files" or open a 1980s file cabinet that has smell, feel, age...
@@fastawake870 But a 1980s computer has a smell, feel, and age...
@@NESman-dm3wd agreed, but thats just one smell. can you collect fart smells on a computer? not yet..
@@fastawake870 You can open up the hardware and fart in chips and ram slots.
People who grew up in the 8os and 90s didnt grow up with home computers..so we organized and saved with paper..you get used to doing it one way.
I love that he digs black flag
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.
@@chuckufarlie8215 Thanks for the heads up on the my war performance i gota find it
chill on saying "chill".
@MrDavidSawatski Based in England
Same guitar
How's that work out, acc to your profile you're 36.

'..nicholas cave.. a singer from england' ahhahahaahhahahaha
*I need a spiritual production service Lunch*
Nicolas cave singer from England???
"A musician of extreme flatulence." 😂😂😂
"The first article about The Beastie Boys, later to become legendary...jerks"

10:06 "le péto-main" :)
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.
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.
This is all Thurston's humor..
@MrDavidSawatski well maybe if they their own accent
people could tell them apart from the limeys.
sonic youth
Cris Castro big if true
Like hanging out with your divorced unemployed uncle.
8:18 imagine how hard they would be cancelled for this today.
Gen z is soft
Sonic youth didn’t use swastikas
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.
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.
@@billscanlan5639lmao this comment creeps me out. I hope this person will give us an answer lmao I’m very curious
If you listen to him in the clips, he has a devoted work ethic and very proactive; Think how many albums they put out
Yeah… Connecticut trust fundie 💯
Fuckin bastard. Being all successful n’ shit. What a loser.
@undertherose831 use too?! ;o
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.
Beware a man who preaches peace !
wouldn't you have been like one year old in '76? lol no matter how much freedom you have, you don't hang out when you're one!
Rainy Jane nah dude he's old.
He was probably teenager in coachmen tho
he'd havee been quite a bit older than one.
I think he was 18 in '76
marry me
Ok but why was he so mean to nardwuar :(
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 CZcams 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.
"Doobing" oof.
is he implying there's something wrong with swastikas?
Probably. I mean, there is, so it would make sense.
Moral Compass I wont argue that they dont have a nice design. But mate, there's this guy called Hitler you might want to read up on. Big meanie, that guy.
soo disappointed in him for that hahaha
wow, not as arrogant as usual.
Wife cheater alert
WUSS !! Go work out you putz.
***** my my so tough on that little keyboard... And so many questions..... You're not my type
relax stupid,, You're not my type
Ted Cantu You clearly don’t keep it high and tight.
My generation has better music that cardi B and her disgusting WAP.
Ewwww.
Sonic Youth was my teen hood.
Well Sonic Youth was also not quite mainstream was it. There are awesome alternative or underground bands out there right now aswell. You just have to start looking for them instead of just complaining.
