Sonic Youth, pencils and spray paint on paper, 11x14, 2020 
The same recording of Shaking Hell from the 1983 Confusion is Sex LP was also featured in last year's 100. I learned about the song however watching the film Rock My Religion by Dan Graham. It was Graham, a friend of Kim Gordon, who commissioned the song for inclusion in the film. The image I chose to work from was an image by that in my mind best represented the four individuals in the band (from left to right): Steve Shelley; Thurston Moore; Lee Ranaldo; Kim Gordon. The photo taken by Chris Carroll was used in Rolling Stone Magazines and is much more recent than the recording of Shaking Hell. The drummer in heard in the recording is Jim Sclavunos, who was a member only briefly in 1983. Steve Shelley joined in 1985. Vocals on the recording are by Kim Gordon.
