The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music

Wrote a review for

A list of things happening in chronological order as told by the closest thing American rock music has to Mr. Peanut Butter.

Shallow, juvenile music; shallow juvenile writer. Avoid.

Even the Good Girls Will Cry: A '90s Rock Memoir

Wrote a review for

Review copy provided by Da Capo Press

Imagine your life, and the people that cycle in and out of it, and back again. Your soul constellation. We all have them, but on the biggest stages with the biggest names of the 1990s, this idea seems grand, mythical, and mysterious.

This memoir helped me turn inward and see my own lives (because there have been several) and loves in the same way. A little bit of self-mythologizing will take you far.

Imagine your life, and the people that cycle in and out of it, and back again. Your soul constellation. I think I believe in this, and so does MAdM. On the biggest stages with the biggest names of the 1990s, this idea seems grand, mythical, and mysterious. Lately, though, when I reflect on it, so does my everyday. Does this just come with age?

Mythologize your lives and loves, because what else do we have?

Around a third of the way into this book, I found myself wondering when something, anything, was going to happen. It wasn’t for another hundred or so pages that I realized that, like Celia, Kindred Cove had been wearing down my defenses since the beginning.

Midsommar, without Ari Aster’s lack of empathy; human and haunting.

“This would not have happened if your workplace was unionized.”

An efficient, nasty little piece of work, straight from the Sam Raimi buckets-of-blood school of horror.

A great debut.
