Annotation

If you remember the 1980s as a time you'd rather forget, Joe Pernice's fictionalized memoir of the period, seen though the prism of The Smiths' seminal 1985 album, MEAT IS MURDER, should provide some degree of validation. Pernice conjures a time before the Internet, when mediocrity ruled the airwaves, and when the independent music scene provided the only respite from a diet of aural pablum. Being more difficult to obtain, British indie music had an extra aura of exoticism; Smiths vocalist Morrisey's angst-ridden lyrics and vocals, propelled by Johnny Marr's impeccable rock guitar, supplied the soundtrack to the lives of many indie rock fans. Pernice's intuitive conjuring of a fan's identification with, and internalization of, his favorite band's material should strike a sympathetic chord with anyone who's ever encountered song lyrics that mirror their own diary entries: his credentials as a member of the indie rock outfit the Pernice Brothers guarantee the authenticity of his often astute observations on the nature of rock music and the people whose lives it often reflects.
