  1. On Kim Gordon's upcoming book about Sonic Youth, 'Girl in a Band'

    Sonic Youth came into being more than 30 years ago, when Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore started playing together in New York City. With bandmates Lee Ranaldo and Steve Shelley, they released dissonant, loud, arty records that changed the sound of rock music at the end of the 20th century. And now Gordon is writing a memoir about it.

  3. 'Backbeat' creators go beyond the standard musical theater fare

    Searching for his way into the new musical "Backbeat," which examines the Beatles' early days (and nights) in Hamburg, Germany, David Leveaux asked himself what he called "the Jerome Robbins question."

  5. A new age for New Age music

    In late 2009, noise-pop group Animal Collective followed up its critics-poll-topping album "Merriweather Post Pavilion" with a stopgap EP, "Fall Be Kind." It generated buzz for featuring the first-ever licensed Grateful Dead sample, but what was more peculiar was a curlicue of pan flute woven into the song "Glaze" and credited to Gheorghe Zamfir. Zamfir, as the Romanian pan flute musician is best known, was a ubiquitous presence on television in the '80s, peddling wispy flute albums. For many people, it was one of the first sounds that came to be known by the label of New Age music.

  8. Catching Up With Holden In NYC

    <strong>NEW YORK CITY</strong> &mdash; Storybook-themed outings, particularly for young kids, abound in New York. Fans of "Eloise at the Plaza'' by Kay Thompson can book the Plaza Hotel's Eloise Suite, featuring a sparkly padded pink headboard and Eloise's name in neon lights. Stuart Little fans can float model boats on Central Park's Conservatory Water, recalling the scene when the mighty mouse commandeered the Wasp in E.B. White's novel. Children gather at the park's statue of Hans Christian Andersen, who wrote the "Ugly Duckling" and "Thumbelina," for story-telling sessions.

  10. Sonic Youth is on hiatus, but Kim Gordon isn't

    Kim Gordon doesn't come right out and say that Sonic Youth, the exalted alt-rock band she fronted for 30 years, is history. But ask her if it's fair to consider her new band to be a "post-Sonic Youth" project, and she'll agree &mdash; very quickly, and in a way that seems to rule out further discussion.

  11. Damon & Naomi Perform at Willimantic Records on March 23

    Galaxie 500 released three records before promptly disbanding in 1991, leaving behind a compact, respectable legacy that has earned praise from Liz Phair and Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore. Much like their revered forebears in the Velvet Underground, it's been said Galaxie 500 broke up before they could suck. Singer/guitarist Dean Wareham went on to do his own thing, but drummer Damon Krukowski and bassist Naomi Yang (pictured) soldiered on as a duo, releasing five albums as Damon &amp; Naomi and re-pressing their old band's records (they bought the Galaxie 500 masters at auction when the original record label went under). They'll perform at Willimantic Records on Saturday with one-time Danbury resident Elisa Flynn opening. Admission is free; donations are encouraged.

  12. Bookshelves don't lie

    Until recently I owned just two books that were composed of little else but pictures of people's bookshelves. Not nearly enough. One book I received last year for Christmas, a compendium of pictures of author's bookshelves, a sort of literary rubbernecking. The other book I received many Christmases ago, a coffee-table book of pictures of people reclining at home surrounded by their mammoth collections of books. The latter contains a picture I have never forgotten: Keith Richards in a chair in the center of a large home library, probably in a mansion in the British countryside, strumming a guitar and surrounded (you realize the closer you stare into the picture) by shelf after shelf of war histories, biographies of generals and tactical manuals.
