Black Postcards: A Memoir | Dean Wareham
3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
A bewitching memoir about the lures, torments, and rewards of making and performing music in the indie rock world Dean Wareham's seminal bands Galaxie 500 and Luna have long been adored by a devoted cult following and extolled by rock critics. Now he brings us the blunt, heartbreaking, and wickedly charismatic account of his personal journey through the music world-the artistry and the hustle, the effortless success and the high living, as well as the bitter pills and self-inflicted wounds. It captures, unsparingly, what has happened to the entire ecosystem of popular music over a time of radical change, when categories such as "indie" and "alternative" meant nothing to those creating the music, but everything to the major labels willing to pay for it. Black Postcards is a must-have for Wareham's many fans, anyone who has ever been in a band, or the listeners who have taken an interest in the indie rock scene over the last twenty years.

Not too many people know about/have listened to Galaxie 500. I never saw them live, but their music is in my regular rotation. This memoir gives all the juicy details of the band's exploits from the founder Dean Wareham's perspective.

In honor of this special day upon which I get to go see Luna play tonight, I'm telling you that if you love memoirs about music, slinkster musicians, and people who help make your life better with music, you should read this book. He's every bit as literary as you would think.
