The Sound of Our Town
Brett Milano's been such a long-standing poetic bystander of the boston rock scene that this book flows like ecsatic feedback, with all the tasteful screeches, kerrangs and harmonics that mark a true believer. --Amanda Palmer, The Dresden DollsLike a savvy cabbie navigating a Big Dig traffic jam, Brett Milano deftly and determinedly tunnels through the half-century maze that is Boston rock. From "Ka-Ding-Dong" to the Dresden Dolls and everything in between--Aerosmith, the Remains, the J. Geils Band, Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers, the Cars, Mission of Burma, Lemonheads, Boston and Bosstown!--it's all here, as lively, crazy and unpredictable as a night at the Rat. --Jeff Tamarkin, author of Got a Revolution! The Turbulent Flight of Jefferson Airplane
