🚨 SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
I have a new book coming out on Sept. 8. It's about The Strokes and the evolution (or de-evolution) of rock bands in the 21st century. And you can pre-order it now! If you would like to know more I wrote about it here. https://t.co/iqgjNO83pj

The new Oasis reunion tour documentary DON'T LOOK BACK IN ANGER isn't only a commercial for the band, but also a commercial for the upsides of the communal stadium-rock experience. Seeing it in a theater last night made me feel amazing. I wrote about it.

@DirectorVMH Grrrrreat tune

[Steven Hyden @Steven_Hyden]

Need to hang out with some Canadians so I can talk about Bruce Cockburn.

[Steven Hyden @Steven_Hyden]

I wrote about the great new This Is Lorelei album.

@andrew_kal Jerry definitely took that one away from Bruce. Cover is superior to the original.

[Steven Hyden @Steven_Hyden]

@clarabowfinger I’m warming to that take! Also a sick guitar player!

[Steven Hyden @Steven_Hyden]

For Evil Speakers I wrote about the 25th anniversary of albums released on 9/11, focusing on Bob Dylan’s LOVE & THEFT but also THE BLUEPRINT & lesser lights like Nickelback’s SILVER SIDE UP, Ben Folds’ ROCKIN’ THE SUBURBS, Slayer’s GOD HATES US ALL, etc.

@DANKCHAINS Whoa, your chains truly are so dank

[Steven Hyden @Steven_Hyden]

Wish they had done the ROCK IS BACK cover/Vines homage.

Geese Band NYC, on the cover of the Rolling Stone 🗣️🗣️✋😵‍💫

@Steven_Hyden I’m sure this week’s indiecast episode is already in the editing phase but hoping to hear more from you guys about this next week! Convincing myself that Bradford read your July features on Substack and felt inspired lol https://t.co/IaiPWp2si0

Go time

[Steven Hyden @Steven_Hyden]

Thrilled by the New York Times review of my new book IS THIS IT, which really seems to get what I was going for. I'm especially touched by the final paragraphs, which not only compliments the book but also speaks to the value of longform music criticism.
