Thurston Moore of Sonic YouthAs a kid in High School I fell in love with the band Sonic Youth. Much thanks in large part to my buddy Dan Chin who would make mix tapes to play in my car. We listened to Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr, Pavement, Super Chunk, Archers of Loaf and even some Digable Planets. Fast forward a million years later and Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth is hanging out with me in the Lightning 100 studio. It's the only time I've ever been allowed to play Sonic Youth on the radio and I loved every minute of it!http://ftp.wrlt.com/production/int/14/131111ThurstonMoore.mp3https://soundcloud.com/lightning100/thurston-moore
