This Week's Nostalgia (10/17-10/23)

I don't know about you, but I'm still pretty broken up by the news of Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore splitting up. As selfish as it sounds, the idea of never seeing Sonic Youth live again is absolutely terrifying. We're going to have to go to a ton of shows this week to keep our minds off of it. CMJ is here starting Tuesday, and we'll be going into our CMJ picks in more detail tomorrow, but for now, here's everything that's going on this week...
