Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named a Best Book of 2017 by NPR and GQ Joining the ranks of the classics Please Kill Me, Our Band Could Be Your Life, and Can’t Stop Won’t Stop, an intriguing oral history of the post-9/11 decline of the old-guard music industry and rebirth of the New York rock scene, led by a group of iconoclastic rock bands. In the second half of the twentieth-century New York was the source of new sounds, including the Greenwich Village folk scene, punk and new wave, and hip-hop. But as the end of the millennium neared, cutting-edge bands began emerging from Seattle, Austin, and London, pushing New York further from the epicenter. The behemoth music industry, too, found itself in free fall, under siege from technology. Then 9/11/2001 plunged the country into a state of uncertainty and war—and a dozen New York City bands that had been honing their sound and style in relative obscurity suddenly became symbols of glamour for a young, web-savvy, forward-looking generation in need of an anthem. Meet Me in the Bathroom charts the transformation of the New York music scene in the first decade of the 2000s, the bands behind it—including The Strokes, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, LCD Soundsystem, Interpol, and Vampire Weekend—and the cultural forces that shaped it, from the Internet to a booming real estate market that forced artists out of the Lower East Side to Williamsburg. Drawing on 200 original interviews with James Murphy, Julian Casablancas, Karen O, Ezra Koenig, and many others musicians, artists, journalists, bloggers, photographers, managers, music executives, groupies, models, movie stars, and DJs who lived through this explosive time, journalist Lizzy Goodman offers a fascinating portrait of a time and a place that gave birth to a new era in modern rock-and-roll.

Book excerpt: I have a plan...but the city of love has a plan of its own. My late grandfather’s inheritance has two conditions: 1) Not a cent until I’ve traveled Europe for a month. (I mean, it's a sacrifice I’m willing to make.) 2) My estranged sisters and I must travel together. (Sister bonding. Gag.) Oh, and a third condition—our journey starts in Paris. City of Love. The place I’ve dreamed of visiting since I first spotted a postcard of the Eiffel Tower at age six. I’ve seen nearly every English movie about Paris ever made. I’ve studied French for years. I even have a bucket list of romantic experiences I want to have there with the first handsome Parisian I can find. (Seine River tour, anyone?) There’s just one problem. It’s also where my childhood best friend, Hunter, lives. The last time I saw the boy next door, he kissed me on the hood of his beat-up Pontiac and asked me to move to Paris with him. He should have known I couldn’t say yes. With my life crumbling by the minute and all my family problems—I mentioned my sisters, right?—I couldn’t just leave it all behind. Ultimately, it's fear that has kept me rooted in the same small town I’d lived in my entire life. What if Paris isn’t everything I dreamed it would be, after all? And worse—what if being with Hunter is? Nope, definitely safer to leave my dreams in the past. I’ll slip into the city, check off my list, and escape without ever seeing my best friend. I'll get this stupid trip over with, put money in the bank, and live happily ever after without him as was always the plan. Above all, I’ll finally forget that toe-curling kiss between us ever happened at all. Paris, here I come. Three sisters. Three cities. A traveling family saga full of misadventures, laughter, forgiveness, and falling in love.

Book excerpt: Soon to be a major motion picture called "The Right Kind of Wrong," starring Ryan Kwanten from True Blood! "Kelly Palamino's engagingly idiosyncratic voice falls somewhere between On the Road and Bright Lights, Big City. He's the Lone Ranger in love, riding out the rough patches on a Thorazine habit." --People At twenty-nine, Kelly Palamino's a little off-kilter but settled into his career of professional dishwasher. His big, blond, ex-hippie wife has left him for good. So it's with no particular purpose that Kelly positions himself on his porch across the street from an Episcopal church in Jackson, Wyoming, to witness a singular sight: a dark-haired bride in full regalia punting a football over the rectory before turning resolutely to walk down the aisle. It's love at first sight for Kelly, and he'll do absolutely anything and everything to get his girl... "Kelly is full-tilt Gonzo crazy. But crazy people can make good protagonists, particularly when they narrate in their own uniquely whacked-out voice." --Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Tim Sandlin's first novel is impressive...[He] may be compared to Tom Robbins...but Sandlin appears to be more subtle...a fun read." --San Diego Union-Tribune "An anarchic novel that is by turns wryly observant and outrageously slapstick...a novel that shows wit and strength and a sweet sensibility toward the loser in everyone." --Kansas City Star "A potent cocktail mixture of Jack Kerouac, Tom Robbins, and David Lynch topped off with a western twist." --Denver Post
