Stabbing Myself in the Ears Alan Neilson

A chronicle of almost forty years of gig going and ten years of music journalism."Gig goers are a special breed: obsessive, compulsive, devoted and loyal. They are collectors and list-makers; they support music wherever it is played and whoever it is played by... they will talk about it until you are blue in the face... this book is for them." - Alan Neilson 2019Excerpts: "It still sounds like nothing else out there. That in itself is worthy of acknowledgement, when we now live in a world where being derivative is commonplace."this fame thing is a curious passage for those least able to deal with it.""He really could stand alone and still make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck with his open wound vocal style and vicious guitar sound.""buzzing like overhead pylons in a thunderstorm."
