Produktinformationen zu „Meet Me in the Bathroom “
An oral history of the last great moment in rock and roll in New York City. Charting the first decade of the 2000s, journalist Elizabeth Goodman tells the story of the rise of indie darlings, The Strokes, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, LCD Soundsystem, Interpol and Vampire Weekend and how their music became the soundtrack to the final throes of a music scene in Manhattan.
Klappentext zu „Meet Me in the Bathroom “
In the early 2000s New York City served as the unlikely stage for a radical renaissance where bands like the Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol, the Moldy Peaches, LCD Soundsystem, and others, who had been honing their craft in obscurity, suddenly became reflections of a newly flush, newly booming town determined to recover from the devastation of September 11.Meet Me in the Bathroom explores how during this era the music industry was dismantled and then reborn via technology?first by Napster and later iTunes?and by evangelist bloggers and edgier journalistic upstarts like Vice and Pitchfork. As the reshaping of the city?technological, aesthetic, cultural, and physical?spread from downtown Manhattan to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, bands like MGMT, Vampire Weekend, TV on the Radio, Grizzly Bear, and Dirty Projectors became the new stars, remaking the idea of New York in their own nerdy image, and establishing ?I heart Brooklyn? as the mantra of a new generation.
Crafted from nearly two hundred original interviews and curated by a writer who remembers the hangovers herself, Meet Me in the Bathroom charts the first decade of the 2000s in all its epic and reckless glory. It is a brilliant portrait of a city, an industry, and a generation on the verge of seismic change.

Pressezitat
"Lizzy Goodman's deliciously over-reported oral history of early-aughts New York rock, was a monument to the scuzzy magic that occurs when youth, hedonism, ambition, and talent coincide." New Yorker
