Brightside” at the encore, and people, this writer included, will love it. Rudy Giuliani’s use of archaic “cabaret laws”. In terms of ambition, the most telling name present is Lindsey Buckingham, formerly of Fleetwood Mac, who contributes a stinging guitar solo to the surge at Caution’s conclusion.

.That’s what it feels like to read this oral history, as if … Sure the parties are a hook, but read for the inspirations which fueled each band, the 60+ characters represented, and the book-long tribute to a city that seems to give each generation its own little present to keep for themselves (and of course later declare better than anyone else's).
The rock star or the military man?
The people who went to them tended to live in the East Village, where despite large swaths of Manhattan falling prey to social cleansing, affordable living and edgy thrills were still available. Also much about the music and how it was made. It didn't make me 'wish I was there', as per John Harris's review. Samples from early 70s krautrock notwithstanding, experimentation isn’t the point of Imploding the Mirage. When the Strokes first visited London, one journalist recalls, one of them “had a phone number – his mother’s, I think, but it could have been a tour manager’s – pinned to the inside of his jacket in case he got lost”. He beats out the rhythm. She lives in upstate New York with her two basset hounds, Joni Mitchell and Jerry Orbach.
If, like everyone else, you adored 2001's 'Is This It', then this oral history of the New York scene before and after will be hugely enjoyable. AMA is Over, thanks Lizzy!

Despite some lackluster records in recent years, there’s an argument to be made there. U2 looms especially large — the Killers know they’ll be playing big venues for the foreseeable future, and they’re writing songs for the occasion. She’s got the voice. To get the free app, enter your mobile phone number. The act of putting out a new album seems to suggest that the Killers are still in it to win it, but Wonderful Wonderful is little more than a collection of half-hearted gestures to older glories. They are not, by the standards of the time, cool: gawky and awkward in person, unapologetically ambitious and commercial, not interested in the kind of hedonism that derails half their peers.
Please try again.
All the players are at the table--you can read the description--and somehow Lizzy Goodman's got them talking.

We always thought those guys were so much more… above us.
“Those guys had that.” They also had names seemingly ripped from a pulp novel: Julian Casablancas, Nick Valensi, Fabrizio Moretti, Nikolai Fraiture, and Albert Hammond Jnr (Hammond Snr is the Gibraltarian singer-songwriter who co-authored such huge hits as the Hollies’ “The Air that I Breathe” and Whitney Houston’s “One Moment in Time”; his credit card paid a lot of the band’s early bills). On the face of it, they were gentrification incarnate.
There are a lot of stadium anthems on Wonderful Wonderful, and while they may offer a few seconds of catharsis, you forget them the minute they pass.
I’m Lizzy Goodman, author of Meet Me in the Bathroom, an oral history of the NY rock scene circa 2001-2011. I don't even care all that much for some of the bands which this book focuses on (LCD Soundsystem, The Strokes), and I still found it nearly impossible to put down. But on their fifth studio album Wonderful Wonderful, it’s unclear whether the Killers want to push their band back to and beyond the success of their first two records or if they want to coast on their back catalog into the sunset.
Journalist Marc Spitz says, “The band that wanted it, and were fucking ready for it, were the Killers.”. The real story of the Fab Four as told by John, Paul, George, Ringo and more!
