 Boston.com / Sports / Baseball / Red Sox / Kim on the road to Rockies
Kim began last season on the disabled list with what was described as a right shoulder strain, and never came close to throwing with the same velocity he had in earlier seasons, particularly in 2001 and '02, when he was one of the premier closers in the National League for the Diamondbacks.
Kim was a remote figure in the clubhouse, which was a byproduct of cultural differences and some annoyance on the part of management and teammates over what they perceived as Kim's unwillingness to refrain from overthrowing.
Kim might find a change of scenery beneficial, especially since he is going to a club with low expectations for 2005.

They even had a lesbian for mayor." This is where Kim Gordon shares a house with Thurston Moore, her husband and, for almost 25 years, bandmate in Sonic Youth, and their 11-year-old daughter, Coco.
A week before seeing her at home, I caught up with Gordon in a less-than-utopian Portakabin backstage at the V festival; despite standing as a bridge between the international avant-garde and the heart of the mainstream, Sonic Youth seem a little out of place in this hyper-corporate environment.
Originally a painter, Gordon has focused more on visual art in the past few years, and her most recent shows have taken LA as their inspiration.

Given the roller coaster ride of being-in-a-band a long, slow climb to the peaks, with plenty of unexpected turns and valleys in between, the screaming rushes and the inevitable end of the line - the unfolding story of Sonic Youth is not unremarkable.
Four people - Kim Gordon, Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo, and Steve Shelley - comprise the New York band that continues, after more than fifteen years together, to make some of the most thrilling, sublime, heady, and increasingly expansive noise that you're likely to hear.

 Sonic Youth: Washing Machine ---Ink Blot Magazine
Certainly Gordon's songs show a new interest in hormonally induced generational tensions between mothers and daughters.
The record also reveals the influence of Moore and Ranaldo's growing involvement with improvisational musicians like William Hooker and Tom Surgal; the songs are longer, the instrumental sections more open ended and devoted to texture as an end in itself than anything the quartet had recorded since Daydream Nation.
Indeed, the high points are all in the playing; the title track's first section, a mystical feminist trailer trash fantasy narrated by Gordon, is quite entertaining, but once the band start braiding patterns of chiming harmonics and feedback tendrils they simply levitate.
