Aprašymas

"The selection of indie music-centric cities is spot-on... knowledgeable... the book serves as a helpful jumping-off point for readers looking to learn more." - Publishers Weekly
The American underground music scene is exploding everywhere-not just in New York City and L.A. (although we've got those cities covered too!):
In Washington, D.C. . . . Ian MacKaye and Fugazi inspired the straightedge culture, which had kids everywhere drawing black X's on their hands in magic marker.
In Omaha, Nebraska . . . A young Conor Oberst, aka Bright Eyes, started writing and performing gut-wrenching love songs at the tender age of thirteen.
On Long Island, New York . . . Taking Back Sunday and Brand New battled for emo supremacy and the fragile hearts of a million teenage girls.
From the coauthor of Everybody Hurts: An Essential Guide to Emo Culturecomes Wish You Were Here-a combination travel guide and tortured history containing everything you ever wanted to know about your city's indie scene.
"This book was really fun to read and I actually learned a lot. Wait a minute... Does giving a quote for this book mean people will know that I didn't actually already know this stuff? Lame." -Hayley Williams, Paramore
" Wish You Were Here knows way too much about the history, minute details, and inner-workings of these 11 punk and indie scenes. I don't know how Leslie figured out all this stuff, but I'm changing my locks and checking the phone for bugs." -Tim McIlrath, Rise Against guitarist and lead singer
"Rob Dobi's spot-on illustrations appear throughout the book as the perfect complement to [Simon's] enthusiastic and hilarious voice." - Sacramento Book Review online
