I‘m so excited to see the posts for July‘s #TitlesAndTunes #SexDrugsAndRockNRoll ! I immediately thought of the tagged book to read…gotta love a history about grunge music!
As for the song, I debated over a few to choose and ended up with this one. Halestorm is from not far where I live, so it‘s kind of a local tie.
Create a playlist of grunge and alt rock and hard rock #music from the 90s, and I‘ll be very content for hours. While I appreciate a lot of types of music, 90s music is definitely my go to for anything - bad days, good days, whatever days. I also love lyrics. I may not normally listen to a band or a singer, but if I hear a lyric that speaks to me, I‘m sold. #Gratitude30
#Anthem of my teen years, and I fully admit, I‘m still stuck in the ‘90s. ‘90s Grunge, hard rock and alternative rock live on, at least in my house... #getmovin
I guess I'll join in on the fun! 😃 #20factsaboutme
I love music as much as I love reading. I love all kinds of music but my favorite genre is the Seattle grunge. I am really bummed about the death of Chris Cornell. It has been weighing on my mind and heart ever since I heard the news. I have such great memories from the 90s and that music. It feels like the death of a friend in a way. It also hits close to home because I know what it's like to deal with anxiety and depression. 😔
I found this book buried in my TBR list, just grabbed it at the library. A 500+ page oral history of grunge? Sign me up!

pickLoved this account of the early Seattle scene right through to Layne Stayley's death. I had romanticised what it must of been like. This destroyed that.
Its in an excellent format, entirely quotes from band members, industry folk as well as seattle-ites, this meant there wasnt an authors voice getting in the way. Highly recommended.
