A writer reads every book in the world then joins a band. The band’s first gig is in a garbage can.

"Short books about albums." Dancing about architecture in miniaturized form. My proposals have been rejected three times (the furthest along I got was for an AC/DC proposal, funny enough; so sue me, I think they're under-loved for all they've accomplished) but that doesn't mean that the series isn't uniformly excellent, whether the author in question is opining about the personal meaning of the album in question (the Decemberists' Colin Meloy waxing poetic about the Replacements' "Let It Be"), making up a story about an album (Mountain Goats' John Darnielle imagining a young psychiatric patient's pining for Black Sabbath's monstrous "Master of Reality"), or a more straightforward recitation of the story of any given LP (my friends Annie Zeleski and Amanda Petrusich knock the stuffing out of Duran Duran's "Rio" and Nick Drake's "Pink Moon," respectively). Geek terrain. My favorite place to be.

Its the same author as come as you are, the nirvana book, and if you have any interest in indie bands or indie music this is a real page turner. admittedly I’ve only turned about 15 of those pages but I already can tell I love it. didn’t realize how many of these guys were truly DIY, indie to the bone, pressing Their own records type indie.
