oh my god i'll pay you two fingers for rent in your head. both hands but you have to guess which fingers Let's play the game "How much rent to get in your head"!
Not surprised about Kim's appreciation for 1990's Rap/Hip Hop groups. Sonic Youth collaborated with Public Enemy on "Kool Thing" (Sonic Youth's Goo album 1990) & Cypress Hill on "I love You Mary Jane" (Judgment Night soundtrack 1993)
Meet her in the 90's when Sonic Youth opened up for Neil Young and she signed my Goo poster. ..after she changed her band aid on her toe..I felt we had a moment..very cool
I met her at The Metro in Chicago. Waiting in line for the dumb stoic, incredible and ridiculous meet and greet, i was wearing a dumb fan shirt i made with a collar. She almost didn’t look at me, and said, “ oh …..is that our new polo shirt? “. I said yes, and asked her and Lee to sign it. He scribbled his name legibly. She wrote a big “K” with a scribble, but then she drew a big lipstick with lips behind it. Steve didn’t say much. “T” word had too much to say. I sadly lost the shirt a couple years ago. It just disappeared into the ether waves.
Love the film clip of Archie Shepp playing tenor saxophone while the soundtrack is him on soprano saxophone. I’m going to write my dissertation on this.
Love Kim, love Sonic Youth. She's one of my music idols. I'd never seen her smile so much, by the way..... So great to find her here!!! Thanks Amoeba!!!
Bless her. She's lovely. That way she has of huddling her shoulders in, hunching over and nodding emphatically when she has found something she really approves of reminds me of a friend who took her own life. She was a gentle, delicate soul, with a completely unjustified downer on herself.
Yeah she's going to be sorry about that choice, exactly what she's talking about. Instruments brought out of place with excessive EQ ruining the original uniformity of the music.
I love these 'What's In My Bag?' series. I find that every artist that I enjoy, their tastes are right up my alley as well and I am often introduced to music I would not have known before!
Kim picking up 2 classics ! From Manchester 🇬🇧 Joy Division " Unknown Pleasures " One of the best debuts ever. Also going heavy with Led Zeppelin IV ! & " When The Levee Breaks " She's Kool.
I think this is the first solo interview I’ve seen of Kim. I’ve seen plenty of Sonic Youth interviews but this was really nice. She is really sweet and down to earth.
I feel validated by Kim for loving Spacemen 3. They don't get talked about much like Spiritualized when they're equally just as great. I used to listen to Sound of Confusion over and over and I very much prefer it to The Perfect Prescription. Their signature drone-y sound is so hypnotic that putting down the record isn't nearly an option.
They really were. It's funny how time changes things. I read people repping Loop, when they were considered laughable S3 copyists at the time. They just played standing up.
@@Spectrescup It is funny how they were compared. I think of them as different bands both with a love of drone. I saw both S3 and Loop in the 1980s several times and preferred Loop they were more ballsy and upfront to me, live they took no prisoners. S3 were a bit more languid and trippy.
“90’s hip hop is minimal” I totally agree with her on that. I love rap from that time, but I couldn’t put my finger, nor articulate, on why I still like it. Come to think about it, I think it’s why I dig punk rock, also.
You could spend a solid week watching every video in the “what’s in my bag” series and learn nearly everything worth knowing about the history of recorded music. You could then spend the next few years listening to everything you learned about and emerge as an incredible music expert and be utterly enriched by the experience. Nothing better on UA-cam.
This is already one of my all-time fav vids here on the Amoeba channel -- been a Sonic Youth, and Kim Gordon, fan for almost four decades now; so, this one is long overdue in my book!
3:40 Kim is right about remasters. A lot of times it’s completely unnecessary and ruins the dynamics of the original recording that was fine the way it was. The white cover is a strange choice too
Ver en directo a Sonic Youth es lo más cerca que un ateo cómo yo podría estar de la espiritualidad, lo que hacían en un concierto iba más allá de la música, era arte puro, era otro nivel. Kim era, es, y será siempre una diosa.
@@crbb90 si no me falla la memoria, en 2010. Fue en Madrid en la sala La Riviera. Iba temblando porque el sonido es terrible en la sala, y no he visto allí un concierto que suene mejor
I was so surprised and excited by the Vince Staples pick. I love both Kim and Vince but they felt really separate in time and genre and subject matter... Wild to see her not only be aware but actively like VInce Staples. Thanks Amoeba, very cool.
Finally someone who is actually buying records they don't already own rather than using this segment to wax lyrical about their favourite albums, which quite frankly anybody can do.
I met Kim a few times when I lived in Northampton. Once I was a pretty bold fan boy and after crossing paths with her at a coffee shop I came up to her car where she was about to leave and told her I’d heard she was moving to Los Angeles and just wanted to wish her well before she left. She smiled that very Kim smirk and replied “I’m not moving yet.” Wasn’t until later I realized she was flirting with me. I wasn’t really interested in something romantic, she probably wasn’t either, but I definitely feel a kindred connection to her and still wonder what might have happened had I been a bit less shy and star struck. A reminder that rock stars are human too I guess
Spacemen 3: one of my favourite bands.'Taking Drugs to Make Music to Take Drugs To' kind of sums them up. If you haven't heard them, 'The Perfect Prescription' is a great place to start. Thanks Kim.
@@Maxinquaye4real imagine putting daft punk and pharrell williams in the same category as kesha? lmao daft punk has an incredible discography, and pharrell williams also has a lot of great songs and production.
Kim Gordon is one of the most prolific artists, be it her work on Sonic Youth or her individual work, her creative output has remained absolutely extraordinary in content as well as form, covering themes from a vast array of human experiences which are timelessly relatable. Sonic Youth's impact on alternative music scene and pop culture in general is phenomenal, and Kim has stood out as one of the few icons who continue to invite keen interest and awe. While many artists have explored difficult subjects, her work has always been rooted in a certain raw sincerity, crafting music that despite being hard hitting as was needed, never veered away from being compassionate. Her persona having become a style and cultural icon is reflective of her appeal as an artist committed to embodying all that they stand for.
I was in love with Kim when I was about 12 from a picture in experimental jet... inlet and her voice. That was something like 94. Now its rocket season again here
You always learn new things watching this series, no matter how long you've followed music. Like of course I know Sonic Youth, my first favorite band was Zeppelin, but until now I had never heard of Spacemen 3 (how? my second favorite band as a kid was Hawkwind?). I never heard how great Joni Mitchel was, and Archie Shepp, I thought I had never heard of him before but it turns out I have songs saved to my spotify from his 2021 record (like Kim, also heard because of my dad haha!)
Ok this was cool. Those are also my two favorite Spacemen3 albums, and of course Unknown Pleasures is a timeless classic, though for a long time now my favorite would have to be Closer.
Imagine Kim Gordon is your grandma and listens to hardcore punk with you
"Hey Granny, pass the dutchy to the left hand side."
Listening Spacemen 3's revolution with her. :-)
Nice name ... what - an - album ( era for KC )
"Hey sonny, you heard of Negative Approach"
Wow How can you sing with Nirvana, gandma???
The best part about Kim is that she's beyond cool without even trying and it's 100% authentic. As good as it gets.
100% like the Sonic Youth song from Dirty
Kim Gordon has lived in my mind rent free for about 30 years or so. Always loved this woman's singing, playing, and style.
"...lived in my mind rent free..." what a lovely phrase.
@@favoriteblueshirt that is cool way of saying it rock on

Judgement night: Shity movie but one of the greatest soundtrack, hip hop and metal mix. Mr have good taste as I can see ;)
I like how she propped the records up in a row like she said she did when she was little. I love Kim
I’d fight you for her love & affection, and have the feeling that it wouldn’t be easy
Kim Deal, Kim Gordon, and Kim Schifino need to start a band called “The Kims.”
Their manager will be Kim Jong Un.
😂🤗

Don’t forget James Iha
The only person I wish had an ASMR channel where she talks about music and life
oooh, never thought about that but yeah she has a very asmr speaking voice
Listen to her audiobook, she narrated it.
Fern Fernis Fernie was thinking the same. Love her voice.
Yeeees, exactly my thought

I love Kim Gordon. I love Sonic Youth and she is most definitely one of my bass influences. Her picks were great.
Garden of Serenity same... I just saw her old beaten up Jaguar bass at the Rock Hall of Fame.

Her bass picks?

Ever since I was 13-14 I was so so In love with Kim Gordon.
Her voice is one of my favorites in music period.
God I miss Sonic Youth
Lucky for you she's now making rad music in Body/Head.
Kim is the best. I’d kill for a Robert Smith episode
Rudo Wakening agreed!!! Robert would be fascinating!!
HZHDJSBXJSNDJNSC SAME-
Robert Smith probably wouldn't do one of these... I can't see him doing one at least. It would be cool hypothetically.
I'd kill to see Gordon and Smith collaborate.
I can't imagine Robert spends much time in Cali. It's too sunny.
Weird. I just bought her newest record an hour ago and was listening to Spacemen 3 on the drive to the store.
Brian Baker did you have your mobile phone with you?
@@jamesegner3389 incase kim gordon was tapping in wondering wish record to suggest to Brian Baker

Went for a haircut earlier, barber was playing Illmatic.

Sorry about that
The way you talk about it, the language that you use, the descriptors, that's real af and I feel for you, sorry for your friend.
She’s always been the coolest person in the room. Legend.
@dani cali why ?
Every time she smiles, she makes my heart melt....
Buy her book , “Girl In A Band “. You won’t put it down !
Totally agree!!
just ordered it yesterday !
I finished it a couple of days ago!
Great book. Reading her descriptions of old LA and NYC was fascinating.
Great book
Unknown Pleasures: essential album. Love you, Kim!
Absolutely, but not in that awful edition. How long does it take for an icon to become a tawdry 'collectors item'?
Yeah she's going to be sorry about that choice, exactly what she's talking about. Instruments brought out of place with excessive EQ ruining the original uniformity of the music.
Your taste in music is first class
"Thanks for inviting me to the store"
- Most Kim Gordon quote of January 2020
Come on down to the store. You can buy some more, and more, and more, and more.
What does that even mean?
Only complaint: I wish this was much longer!
I definitely would love to join Kim's record club.
I love these 'What's In My Bag?' series. I find that every artist that I enjoy, their tastes are right up my alley as well and I am often introduced to music I would not have known before!

What a joy to see Kim on an episode of WIMB! Love that she picked Spacemen 3 and Joy Division. Peace.
Ever listen to the Jesus and Mary Chain, they are the best and quite reminiscent of those 2
jeremyramone oh yes, I love them! I’m still looking for Darklands on vinyl.👌👌
I love these vids. I always find out about something cool AF that I didn’t know about! She’s so rad!
Kim seems happier here than in other interviews I've seen. Her and Avey Tare's episodes are two of my favorites to date.
Avey Tare 💕
Love her. Spacemen 3!! Loved how she described them.
I think this is the first solo interview I’ve seen of Kim. I’ve seen plenty of Sonic Youth interviews but this was really nice. She is really sweet and down to earth.

The moment she pulled out Vince Staples' vinyl I know she's the coolest.
Kim listening to Vince and Nas is ACTUAL life !!
excellent choices. Nice to see Spacemen 3, a f**ing key band
yessssss
They really were. It's funny how time changes things. I read people repping Loop, when they were considered laughable S3 copyists at the time. They just played standing up.

You messed up, Thurston Moore. This is an amazing woman right here.
LeeCDylan exactly!
Thurston Moore can make his own choices, he is a smart and very talented cookie.
He just wanted some fresh meat I guess. She lost her beauty. The outside one I mean, not the inner one.
Maybe she isnt a pleasant person in private. Maybe she was abusive to him? WTH do you know.
Jonny Chinchen Obviously not
Her new record crushes! And of course she has incredible taste. Anyone with Spacemen 3 and Nas selections is A-OK.
OMG... She is 67 now... What a rock grandma... She is a legend among all female rock bands in the 80's and 90's
Jeez,how is she 67? I mean,I know she's always been old,but she literally hasn't aged since the 90s
one word to describe Kim is Legend!
Vinyl&Kicks86 I was literally about to post a comment that said something like urs
She's still so cool and has great taste in music, even years later
nice collection ... (spacemen 3 "playing with fire" is my favourite !!)
I like how she says that remastering changes the sound. The original sound quality of an album is always the best, flaws and all.
Easily one of the coolest people on earth. I wish I could be friends with her. Really.
Her new album sounds like if you smashed all of these albums together into one, killer!
kim gordon listens to vince staples legenddddd
She's so cool! What a legend and great taste.
Watching this, actually makes totall sense why her new record sounds like that🔥
She seems a lot happier now since the divorce.
pretty great picks, only a couple i haven’t heard of yet might check those out then.

Kim really does exude cool. Sonic Youth had some brilliant moments and she was the best part.
Still got it!
I really like when artists listen to differents styles, even the ones they dont play.
Great selection!

I'm surprised she didn't get any carpenter stuff but then again she probably has them all ☺️
OMG! From Vince Staples to Spacemen 3 to Archie Shepp!!! I love her even more now!
Most Kim's I've met are cool, me at 71 years still skaking to the reggae tunes, cooling it up to jazz, feeling the blues etc etc etc etc.
Yeah I feel you on that whole Kim is cool at least all the Kims IkR.N.R cheers to Kim's Luv all of you
Of course she has such a great taste!! Love Kim!
She’s so sweet. I love Kim!
Brave Men Run got me into SY and influenced me very much. Thank you Kim. Brilliant! 🙌
what a great selection
Not only did I loan Kim the first VU album when it came out, i sold her her first bass for $ 10
The one dislike is from some nerd named Thurston.
Thurston needs to put out his tell all book so we get a complete picture.
