Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore opens up a pop-up record store for - artistic, creative, intellectual profit

Ecstatic Peace Library is the brainchild of Moore, made in collaboration with comic artist Savage Pencil and Soho Music, and Zippo Records head Pete Flanagan, with his son Jim working there. Guardian visited it in Hackney, London, where Moore lives now, and talked about the physicality of objects in a world where everything is digitised and streamed. Moore doesn't mind people going there to get a photo with him - “It’s fine. If Patti Smith walked into this place I’d want a picture with her”, and he doesn't mind dogs either - “We are everything friendly”. What about profit? - the G asked. “What about artistic profit, creative profit, intellectual profit?” - the Sonic Moore replied.
