Thurston writes about the show he'll never forget.
 
Thurston Moore is one of 50 contributors to a new book called:

"The Show I'll Never: 50 Writers Relive Their Most Memorable Concertgoing Experience."

Thurston writes about Glen Branca, Rudolph Grey, and Wharton Tiers. Other contributors to the book include Carl Newman (New Pornographers) and Harvey Pekar (American Splendor).

You can find more info about the book here:

Sounds pretty cool. Is it available in bookstores evrywhere? Or at least large chain bookstores like Barnes & Noble and such?

A lot of geniuses sharing their golden memories on Rock Concerts. Sweet!


I used to buy Spin magazine just because i enjoyed Chuck Klostermanīs writing, so thatīs another reason to buy it:D.

Ive not heard of any of the writers (except Mr Moore) but have heard of all but a couple of the subjects, so it sounds pretty interesting. Though i dont believe id be able to get my hands on it very easily
