Thurston Moore

December 2007, almost exactly two years ago. Thurston Moore was touring his second third album and visited Dublin. "Trees Outside The Academy" is a good album (this poster is pretty much just the cover with some extra text) but at this gig when they went into the "Psychic Hearts" section it went to whole new level! I was totally blown away, love love love that album.

Reminded of this because Sonic Youth are playing here on Sunday night at Vicar Street, I blogged about that gig back in October.

I met Thurston once and had a chat, I even gave him a Large Mound CD. I read recently that he hates CDs doesn't listen to any he's given, ha! classic.

Sonic Youth

Rough sketch for Sonic Youth poster. They're playing Dublin this December. Reminded of this because I finally picked up The Eternal at the weekend and it's good stuff. Also because my friend Ian gave me a loan of his Jazzmaster guitar. The text on this poster forms the shape of a Jazzmaster. This sketch still needed a lot of work but as a design it's simple and I like it. This is as far as it goes however as the gig is already sold out.
