Thurston Moore’s Electrifying History Lesson
  + stars: | 2023-10-19 | by ( Mark Yarm | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
“He and the band championed Beck, Mudhoney, Dinosaur Jr. and Nirvana” early on, he said. (She memorably howls her way through “Death Valley ’69,” Sonic Youth’s combustive first single, from 1984.) In October 2011, Sonic Youth’s label made the surprise announcement that Moore and Gordon had separated after 27 years of marriage. In the book, Moore shares a bare-bones version of what transpired — he had fallen in love with Eva Prinz, a book editor. If I got too much into that, that would be a critical focus, as it is with any memoir.

The Album Art Studio That Made Pink Floyd’s Pig Fly
  + stars: | 2023-06-01 | by ( Mark Yarm | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
The Dutch filmmaker Anton Corbijn, the director of “Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis),” a documentary on the design firm that opens in New York on June 7, had a slightly different take. “It’s just not normal to fly all the way to Hawaii to do that picture,” he said. Among the 415 album covers Hipgnosis made between 1968 and 1983 was Pink Floyd’s “Animals” (1977), for which a 40-foot inflatable pig was photographed floating between the chimneys of London’s Battersea Power Station. Unfortunately, the single cable affixed to the pig snapped, and up the balloon went — into the flight zone for Heathrow Airport. Noel Gallagher, a fan, provides some modern-day context and comic relief.
