Music journalist Chris Payne experienced emo's mainstream takeover from sweaty crowds and mosh pits growing up in New Jersey. In Where Are Your Boys Tonight? he offers an authoritative, impassioned, and occasionally absurd account told through interviews with more than 150 people, from the scene's biggest bands, producers, and managers to the teenage fans who helped redefine American music culture.

This oral history is AWESOME. It's a natural successor (and I think better book) to "Sellout: The Major-Label Feeding Frenzy That Swept Punk, Emo, and Hardcore (1994–2007)." I was in high school from 2002-2006, so it's probably tailored more to me, but it's great getting elaborated info on the early years of all these bands that blew up during this time, and then hearing their perspective of the end of this era.

Between 1861 and 1865, the clash of the greatest armies the Western hemisphere had ever seen turned small towns, little-known streams, and obscure meadows in the American countryside into names we will always remember. In those great battles, those streams ran red with blood-and the United States was truly born.

This lecture was really great. I was a bit intimidated by the length, but Prof Gallagher is incredibly well spoken. He has a real knack for inserting his knowledge of the Civil War so well into your brain, that I rarely found my mind drifting away from what he was saying. The most interesting parts of the book to me were where he would emphasize the people of the time's perspective, and the things they were actually saying. Just an incredible depth of source material from that time and delivered awesomely in this lecture.

Seasoned music writer Dan Ozzi chronicles this embattled era in punk. Focusing on eleven prominent bands who made the jump from indie to major, Sellout charts the twists and turns of the last “gold rush” of the music industry, where some groups “sold out” and rose to surprise super stardom, while others buckled under mounting pressures. Sellout is both a gripping history of the music industry’s evolution, and a punk rock lover’s guide to the chaotic darlings of the post-grunge era.

This is one of my favorite books I've ever read/listened to. I was born in 1988 and grew up in the punk/hardcore scene, so this book covered just about my entire formative music listening years. It was really fascinating to hear some of the major label courtships of bands I didn't even know were courted like Jawbreaker & Thursday. The chapter on The Donnas was also really interesting. They popped up on MTV/MuchMusic one day for me with "Take It Off," so it was fascinating to hear about them working hard and paying their dues in high school in the NorCal scene.
This book was so good, that it'd be super great if Dan Ozzi followed this up with another deep dive into some of the other influential bands of this era.

In The Comedians, comedy historian Kliph Nesteroff brings to life a century of American comedy with real-life characters, forgotten stars, mainstream heroes and counterculture iconoclasts. Based on over 200 original interviews and extensive archival research, Nesteroff's groundbreaking work is a narrative exploration of the way comedians have reflected, shaped, and changed American culture over the past 100 years.

Comprehensive and Entertaining
Revisado: 07-17-18
This book is so fascinating in that it gives basically a full history beginning in the early 1900s of comedy in America. The material is comprehensive and interesting the entire way. The only gripe I have is the author does impressions of a select few comedians, and it is very over-the-top and distracting. Not enough to drop it down to 4-stars, but it takes a little away from the content at times.
