## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Perfectly executed rock n roll interview book.
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 8, 2021*

Can’t recommend “meet me in the bathroom” enough. It’s the story of nyc indie rock (basically 90% of all indie music during the early 2000s) from late 1990s to 2011.But it also includes non-NYC bands who made it via the NYC/London route, like kings of Leon and the Killers. Really well done and comprised of satisfying arcs, only the DFA breakup leaves you wondering “what really happened”. Using only interviews, it covers the overlapping careers of a variety of different rockstars, art rockers, and NYC celebs in a compelling way, it really does read like fiction. You probably need to love some of this music to really dig the book, but it’s a great read if you love reading about egos, ambition, what defines “culture” as well as addiction, depression, and human frailty. And of course, similar to “please kill me” about the punk movement, there’s a ton of great tangential history (living through tech and real estate booms, as well as 9/11, as a bohemian) and and era-defining debauchery that seem to occur in pop culture every 20 years or so.Most importantly, it answers life’s deepest questions, like “what did the strokes think when they first heard mr brightside?”

    Good not Great
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 3, 2019*

Good story of the Strokes, Interpol, TVOR, LCD Soundsystem, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs for the years mentioned (2001 to 2011).  So much in here that I didn't know, and some that I did.  Of course, I would have liked them to continue the story with these bands (i.e., Interpol's 2018 album got pretty good reviews...and the band is showing they can make some good music as a three-piece.)  But I understand that she had to stop the story somewhere.  Pre-2001 NYC scene also gets some coverage so we know the "pre-history."For some reason, the Killers, Kings of Leon, and other non-NYC acts are also discussed...apparently because they either borrowed some of the sounds of these bands and/or got popular around the same time.  But it's not really clear to me why they're in the book.  And if you're going to discuss them, then give the England scene more play, especially Bloc Party circa 2005.And although the book has some on the Brooklyn bands, the coverage is minimal.  Given the National became the most critically acclaimted NYC indie rock act of the second half of the 00s, I was surprised by how little they were covered, except in their experiences with the "big 5" bands in the first pgh.  And what about mid-decade darlings the Hold Steady?  Craig Finn is quoted once or twice, but somehow ignoring their 3-album pinnacle (staring with Separation Sunday) seemed like a big miss.  Is Brazilian Girls in there?  If they are, I missed it.Anyway, it's worth a read.  But we all have our own version of the NYC scene in those days.  I'm pointing out the bands that were important to me; others would probably disagree.

    In Response to the Criticisms...
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 5, 2017*

Although I have not finished this book yet, I haven't been able to put it down. I have read a few of the critical reviews that do not like the way that the book is written, because it is an oral history full of quotes that are interwoven together to tell the story of various bands throughout the early 2000s. I personally like the oral history aspect, but my recommendation would be go have a bookmark or page marker at the beginning of the book, because they give a brief description of the individuals being quoted throughout the book. In the first 100 pages, I've found myself flipping back and forth quite a bit, because I was not familiar with some of the journalists, promoters, and founders of the various bars/record labels, and they do not provide much of a bio in the quotes. With that being said, do not let the style of the book dissuade you from purchasing. If you're a fan of music like myself, you will have a hard time taking a break from reading this book.
