BBC Radio 6 Music - Radcliffe and Maconie, Thurston Moore

Mark and Stuart chat to founder of Sonic Youth, Thurston Moore.

Mark and Stuart chat to songwriter, guitarist and founder of Sonic Youth, Thurston Moore.

Singer-songwriter, guitarist and founder of Sonic Youth, Thurston Moore is Mark and Stuart's guest today. He formed the influential US rock band in 1981, has over the years collaborated with artists including Dave Grohl, Yoko Ono and Richard Hell and was included in Rolling Stones' Top 100 guitarists of all time. He joins Mark and Stuart to talk about his latest project - composing for and conducting a guitar orchestra. His work 'Music for Twelve 12-String guitars' sees him leading twelve guitarists in a performance - the first half being acoustic, the second electric - arranged as if they were one single 12-string guitar.

Also on the show, there's the never-ending feature The Chain - which links together one record to another using YOUR suggestions - and Teatime Themetime, when you pit your musical wits to be first past that Chocolate Bourbon post and gain glory round the office biscuit barrel. AND if that weren't enough - we bring you the latest updates in the world of rock and pop in today's Music News.
