A music-obsessed retrospective, beginning with his childhood
epiphany of rock 'n' roll in the early 1960s into an infatuation
with the subversive world of 1970s punk and no wave blasting forth
from New York City - where he eventually runs off to join a band in
1978. By 1981 Moore would form the legendary and notorious
experimental rock group Sonic Youth, who proceeded to record and
tour relentlessly for almost 30 years, always progressing, always
exploring. Along the way we meet a constellation of artists and
musicians who colluded and collided with Sonic Youth including
Velvet Underground, Stooges, Patti Smith, Television, Sex Pistols,
Clash, Nirvana, Hole, Beastie Boys, Neil Young and a cavalcade of
other musical visionaries, as well as figures from the art world -
Jean Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Gerhard Richter. Simply put,
Thurston Moore and Sonic Youth changed the sound of modern
alternative rock music and opened the minds of a generation of
artists to new possibilities within the form. This is essential
reading.

Throughout the heady years of New York's 1960s and 70s music
scenes, James Hamilton was on hand to observe and photograph some
of the most significant bands, musicians and performances of the
twentieth century. Serving as staff photographer for the "Village
Voice" and "Crawdaddy ," Hamilton photographed such musicians as
James Brown, Captain Beefheart, Ornette Coleman, Creedence
Clearwater Revival, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, the Grateful
Dead, John Fahey, Mick Jagger, Jethro Tull, Elvin Jones, the Kinks,
Madonna, Charlie Mingus, Joni Mitchell, the Ramones, Gil
Scott-Heron, Patti Smith, Sun Ra, Tom Verlaine and Stevie Wonder.
In "You Should Have Heard Just What I Seen," Hamilton opens up his
archives for the first time, revealing across 300 pages a trove of
previously unpublished black-and-white photographs--portraits,
snapshots, sketches, contact sheets--of some of the most
recognizable faces in music. Influential for several generations of
budding photographers raised on his photographs, the work of James
Hamilton is at last collected in this revelatory volume.
As a young man in the late 1960s, James Hamilton met the legendary
photographers Diane Arbus and Eugene Smith, and was inspired by
them to document the changing skyline of New York City. As staff
photographer for "Harper's Bazaar" and the "Village Voice,"
Hamilton recorded the fashion shows, events, protests and riots,
happenings, concerts, poetry readings and art openings of that era,
and throughout the 1970s, his photographs of musicians and
celebrities began to appear in the pages of "Crawdaddy "magazine.
Later Hamilton joined "The New York Observer" and began working
with filmmakers George Romero, Francis Ford Coppola, Wes Anderson,
Bill Paxton and Noah Baumbach as on-set photographer.

The Weave is the second book collaboration between Thurston Moore
and John Kinsella - dubbed a 'work in progress' by the two poets,
the book guides readers through a world in decay, crafting an
invigorating language of spontaneity and survival out of the
destruction. Moore and Kinsella aren't just observing - they
implicate us all in the harms of global capitalism and
environmental disaster, charting a back and forth between the
individual and the crowd. ROSIE LONG DECTER These poems start in
Dolphy's key + end with a quarryman's dream. In between secrets are
stored. See how many you can find. CLARK COOLIDGE
