Black Postcards: A Memoir

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���he 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 ���ndie���and ���lternative���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.
