Today, my friends, Kim Gordon turns 60 (yes, you read that correctly, 60) years old. Clearly a tribute to this incredible woman is in order. So, here you have it, my top 10 favorite Kim Gordon moments, projects, accomplishments, traits, whatever. In no particular order. (Determining the list was hard enough- you want me to order them? Not possible.) Add anything I missed in the comments please!
3. Kim Gordon x Surface to Air
4. That Time I Met Kim Gordon
Michael and I braved some lame shopping event at a store in Oakland to meet Kim Gordon. Everyone was dressed very hip and “fashion-forward” except for us. There was free wine and we got sloshed. Kim was extremely nice, talked to us about art and music and not clothes. I gave her a homemade compilation of female-fronted French punk music.
5. Kim Gordon Interviews Chloe Sevigny, and That Friendship as a Whole
6. Harry Crews
Obviously I’m going to love any collab between Lydia and Kim.
7. Kool Thing Music Video
So ’90s.
8. The Noise Paintings
9. This Elle Interview, followed by This List of Hip-Hop Music to Listen to When You’re Traumatized
10. The First Time I Saw Sonic Youth Live.
Happy Birthday, lady.
Number four should be number one. Definitely.
Definitely a case where the soundtrack rules over the flick. And ahead of its time, really. Then again, could this album be to blame for rap rock/ nu metal?
I’m torn. That and Onyx really bugs me.
Sending good vibes your way…and a couple CDs.
I feel really bad for not having heard of her before now. 😦
Ha well now you know! 😀
