This is Andrew
Mueller’s memoir of his teens and twenties, a period he spent as a writer about music. The book serves as a
eulogy to not just that phase of his life but to an era in musical journalism.
The Australian-born Mueller got his start in Sydney at Time Out magazine before
relocating to London to work on his favourite music publication, Melody Maker.
Beginning in the late 80s through to the mid 90s Mueller details his travels
around the world to gigs and festivals, all of it paid for by the record
companies. Mueller’s sharp, if cruel, humour makes his story engaging even to
individuals who have little to no interest in popular music (such as myself).
