Book Description: BRAND NEW, Exactly same ISBN as listed, Please double check ISBN carefully before ordering. Review&colon; An Interview with Author Mark YarmQ.) Why do you think grunge took off in Seattle as opposed to somewhere else at that time? A lot of it had to do with geographical isolation. Many people don & t seem to realize that in the & 80s--before the Starbucks/Microsoft/boom era--Seattle wasn & t the cosmopolitan place it is today. People in the rest of the country pretty much considered it the hinterlands; a couple interviewees told me that back in the day, people who weren & t familiar with Seattle would ask them, in all sincerity, Seattle? Aren & t there cowboys and Indians out there? and Often times, touring bands would simply skip Seattle because it was too far out of their way. So, in effect, musicians in that region had to make their own fun. And in the process, they honed their own sound.Q.) What are the biggest misconceptions people have about grunge? Probably the biggest one is that all these musicians were overly earnest gloom mongers sticking needles in their arms. Of course, a few were overly earnest and some were sticking needles in their arms, but for the most part--and I think this comes across in the book--these musicians were just super-funny and huge jokesters.Q.) Where does the book & s title come from? Speaking of humor in grunge... Everybody loves our town and is a lyric from Overblown, and an extremely arch song Mudhoney wrote for the Cameron Crowe movie Singles</em>. It pretty much deflates the hype surrounding the scene at the time and takes a semi-veiled jab at at least one grunge superstar.Q.) What & s your favorite grunge song? It almost seems too obvious an answer, but Mudhoney & s Touch Me I & m Sick and is pretty much perfect--and perfectly encapsulates the scuzzy grunge and guitar sound and scabrous humor of the scene. Nirvana & s Negative Creep and comes to mind too.Q.) Is there a grunge band that should have made it big that did not? Had their super-charismatic lead singer Andrew Wood not died of a drug overdose in 1990, Mother Love Bone--the band from which Pearl Jam sprung--would likely have made it big. Also, TAD--a band fronted by Tad Doyle, who was marketed as a 300-pound ex-butcher from Boise--appeared primed for success in the early & 90s. But TAD was beset by bad luck at nearly every turn. Their downward spiral began when their album 8-Way Santa</em> had to be yanked from shelves because the band used this hilarious, very saucy photo of a couple on the cover without their permission. (Google it.) Legend has it that the woman in the picture had since found God, and the couple took legal action.Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge</em> author Mark Yarm put together this list of 15 grunge tracks (ranging from the obscure to the chart-topping) discussed in the book.1.
