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.

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.

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 KZread.

Love her. Spacemen 3!! Loved how she described them.

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.

“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.

Didn’t know Kim Gordon was chill like that

Her new record crushes! And of course she has incredible taste. Anyone with Spacemen 3 and Nas selections is A-OK.

She’s so sweet. I love Kim!

Rock n roll legend! And her style is so awesome

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.

Awesome

She has aged incredibly well. Kim's the coolest.

Hell yeah! Thanks Amoeba Sonic Youth is a huge inspiration to me

I always appreciate that the OGs on this series tend to never have pretension in their selections

Wow, you got her onto your show! Awesome stuff!

Her new album sounds like if you smashed all of these albums together into one, killer!

Brave Men Run got me into SY and influenced me very much. Thank you Kim. Brilliant! 🙌

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!)

The most amazing woman in this world

She's SO cool! Like her a lot.

Not only did I loan Kim the first VU album when it came out, i sold her her first bass for $ 10

Watching this, actually makes totall sense why her new record sounds like that🔥

Spacemen 3 😍

Such a legend, a badass, the coolest! I love her so much, she seems to be a such a down to earth person.

Kim's taste is same as mine. So diverse and I also like Nas, Led Zeppelin and Joni Mitchell, also Sonic Youth. I love her.

Love Kim! Nice mix of music.
