This is 1 of the top books of 2011 easily. It's a look back at punk bands (mainly garage-y) from about '86 to '00. It's informative, funny, and fairly comprehensive. Anyone else read it?
There's an interview w/ Eric in my Blog (I just found out about this group 5 minutes ago).

There's an interview w/ him in One-Chord e-zine here on the Hideout.

Permalink Reply by NUMBSKULL ACTION on April 1, 2012 at 5:01pm Great Book, I found Davidsons use of prose initially abit abrupt but the content was ace as well as all the nuts-and-bolts of being in bands, recording, touring and getting ripped-off. I watched an interview on youtube and Davidson said that the book was originally bigger. Maybe in the future it could be re-released as an expanded edition or a kindle/pdf only type thing?
