The definitive history of Seattle music from the '60s to the mid '90s, and the ultimate 227 page 'zine for the scene slathered with interviews, photographs, concert posters, and insider reportage from someone who was there the (w)hole time. Having been in a parade of Seattle bands over the last seven years, I can attest to the accuracy and encyclopedic coverage of the names and places, and the description of the entire "practice space/gig/party/wander-around-aimlessly- dumpster-diving/ crash/wake-up-for-a-latte" lifestyle. Of course, there are some omissions (for example, my all-time favorite Seattle band, The Tone Dogs, is barely mentioned), but none of the losers east of the 520 Bridge or west of the OK Hotel would notice. If you get this book, you should definitely consider snagging Screaming Life, a collection of the best of Charles Peterson's black-and-white photographs of Nirvana, Screaming Trees, Hole, Soundgarden, and friends. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
From Publishers Weekly
Once upon a time, in a modest backwoods city, a handful of creative boys and girls played in anonymous rock bands. Despite the city's pervasive white-bread, middlebrow disapproval of such antics?or, perhaps, because of it?the local alternative music scene thrived within the city's borders. But then a couple of local bands hit the big time, rich record label reps raided the city to sign everyone else to lucrative contracts, and the once insular scene was fragmented by an influx of rock star wanna-bes and the media. This, succinctly, is Loser's story of the Seattle music community. Author Humphrey and designer Art Chantry have compiled a comprehensive anthology, capturing in words and images alternative Seattle?people, posters and platters. Though headliners Nirvana and Soundgarden garner their share of attention, Loser's "real Seattle music scene" is a pre-grunge, tight-knit collection of oddball scenesters who feel like old friends after only a few chapters. Don't mistake Loser for a trenchant analysis of the Seattle music phenomenon, however. Humphrey, a longtime Seattle resident, music fan and fanzine writer, drenches the reader with minutiae but shies away from questions such as "Why Seattle?" "Why Nirvana?" and "Why flannel?" Loser shines, though, as an encyclopedic record of Seattle's pre-grunge musical history and as a testament to the pursuit of creativity for its own sake.
