Sound for Andy Warhol’s Kiss LP cover
At age 13, Kim Gordon and her best friend would put “Heroin” by the Velvet Underground on the turntable and give it a spin. Pretending to be high, they’d start to nod, moving in slow motion until the choreography left them lying on the floor.

Restless in West LA, Gordon looked east to Andy Warhol’s Silver Factory – the artist’s famous New York City studio – for inspiration while growing up. She was unaware of the future that was to come, which included, among other things, an invitation to re-score Warhol’s 1963–64 silent film Kiss, which features appearances by Jane Holzer, Gerard Malanga, Marisol, and Pierre Restaney.
