Meet Me in the Bathroom: Rebirth and Rock and Roll in New York City 2001-2011, by Lizzy Goodman

5.0

I don't even know where to begin to review this monster of a book. It is tremendous. As someone who was 23 years old at the turn of the century, someone whose favorite band was The Strokes and then Interpol, and then Yeah Yeah Yeahs, someone who has seen all those bands and many others mentioned in this book many many times live, this book spoke to me on a level that no other music biography/memoir/oral history/treatise ever has. The nostalgia is strong with this one. And getting these behind the scenes stories straight from everyone's own mouths is enlightening, shocking, and engaging. Everyone did some level of drugs and everyone is some level of asshole. Well, practically everyone. Anyway, I really loved this book. You should read it.
