About this listen

What happens when Kim Gordon and L.L. Cool meet for an interview 1989? You get this week’s song, Sonic Youth’s 1990 major label debut single “Kool Thing.” Join Diallo and LUXXURY as they unpack where the interview went awry, debate the song’s subtle (or not so subtle) L.L. references, and untangle the layers and layers of Sonic Youth’s trademark guitar noise.
