Well it’s official; Maxwells as we all knew it is being ripped apart from the inside out. Today on the facebook Maxwells group Steve Fallon one of the former owner posted the “execution” photo of his and our beloved music club. Time to cry a little. There are too many bands to list that played there over the past three and 1/2 decades! To try this task would be completely feutal. Anywhose, there is some action at the White Eagle building in Jersey City which is supposed to be the new location where the owners are going to open up shop one day. Which can not come soon enough! Leave a comment about your favorite experience at Maxwells if you want.

I’ve got to say I blame Thurston Moore and his Sonic Youth for making me think about instruments as a paint brush versus notes. Can’t say I ever dared to invent or play weird guitar tunings, except for the occasional drop “D” but I often enjoy working with a simple palette. Even a single not solo works for me. Anyway here’s a few tunes by the 99th best guitarists ever as noted by Rolling Stone and a zillion other guitar heads. I put him up and Lee Renaldo in the top 10 innovators of the instrument.

Bad Moon Rising Sonic Youth

Circulation MP3 by Thurston Moore from Demolished Thoughts (Matador/2011)
Pretty Bad MP3 by Thurston Moore from Psychic Heart (1995)
Lonesome MP3 by Thurston More from Sensitive/ Lethal (2008) This one is really irritating noise so beware.
Frozen Gtr MP3 from Trees Outside the Academy (2007)
Shadow Of A Doubt MP3 by Sonic Youth from E.V.O.L. (1986)
Madonna, Sean And Me MP3 from E.V.O.L.
