This was an odd one for me. I think Kim Gordon is so cool and her life is so interesting, but I also didn’t connect with her that much here (which is honestly how I feel about Sonic Youth). Glad I read though!

Never not going to love a music memoir. Even though I did feel like Gordon's reflections stuck to the facts and stayed on the surface of things more than I was anticipating, I still gobbled this up happily.

really huge of kim to be able to empathize with the people who hurt her and acknowledge their circumstances while still not forgiving them. i always jump to attempting forgiveness when i rationalize their behavior from their eyes. i could learn a lot from her.

Easy to read and enjoyable even if you don't know anything about Sonic Youth. I loved Kim described the books she was reading at the time and how it influenced her art and her music, a library as a road map. The book is not told linearly, doubling back often and retelling events using something significant, overlapping events. At first that was distracting but by the end I actually really liked it.

Though really more of a 6.5 or 7. I want to love this but compared to the raw nerves and exposed viscera or Viv Albertine's memoir, it feels - too cool?
