Sonic Youth's "Kool Thing" | Full Episode | One Song Podcast

What happens when Kim Gordon and L.L. Cool J meet for an interview in 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.

New here? On each episode of this music podcast friends Diallo Riddle (Emmy-nominated star and creator of HBO Max’s South Side and IFC’s Sherman’s Showcase) and Blake "LUXXURY" Robin (Music Producer & TikTok creator) will hilariously break down ONE SONG from the pop music canon that you know - or need to know - but have never heard quite like this.
