A Guide to Scenes

1 year ago by Alan Cross | June 7, 2009 11:00 pm

For as long as there’s been rock, fans have been looking for all the hot music scenes. Most come and go, but some endure even after they’ve fallen from the public’s consciousness or have been deemed uncool by whoever determines these things.

If you’re interested in this kind of musical anthropology, there’s a new book called Wish You Were Here: An Essential Guide to Your Favourite Music Scenes–From Punk to Indie and Everything in Between. Author Leslie Simon–who has no trouble being a little snarky–examines American scenes from Long Island and Florida in the east to Seattle and LA in the west. Might be a good thing to have if you’re doing some travelling this summer. Wish You Were Here by Leslie Simon is published by Harper and is out now.
