The Best 90 Minutes of My Life

The Best 90 Minutes of My Life

Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore on the joys of homemade music, as I play my own unique Buffalo Springfield compilation:

These days, CD technology has displaced the cassette in the mainstream, and mix CDs have become the new cultural love letter/trading post. Once again, we're being told that home taping (in the form of ripping and burning) is killing music. But it's not: It simply exists as a nod to the true love and ego involved in sharing music with friends and lovers.


Turn it up.
