Its the same author as come as you are, the nirvana book, and if you have any interest in indie bands or indie music this is a real page turner. admittedly I’ve only turned about 15 of those pages but I already can tell I love it. didn’t realize how many of these guys were truly DIY, indie to the bone, pressing Their own records type indie.

🎸🔥 Back in the day, touring with Mega City Four wasn’t just about the shows — it was about finding your people.
The bands I was in, documented in raw details in Three and a Half Minutes of Fame, shared their DIY spirit, their relentless drive, and their refusal to sell out. We watched them, learned from them, and dreamed of being even half as good.
That sense of belonging, that fire — it’s what kept us going through van breakdowns, late-night gigs, and all the chaos that came with trying to make it on our own terms.
Three and a Half Minutes of Fame captures all that — the sweat, the noise, the friendships, and the endless push to live up to a scene that was bigger than all of us.
If Mega City Four shaped your soundtrack, this book will take you back to those raw, unforgettable years.

🚶Just because I see a window to get across the street doesn’t mean you don’t have to look both ways. I’ve been on the other side of that though…

I met Erin (@RIOTGRRRL) and Jake (@SLOWDAZZLE) last year after I started using PI.FYI—we organized a meetup before a Jonathan Richman show and immediately clicked over our shared taste in music and similar sensibilities. We started hanging out a lot and had some great times together. I’ve also gotten to know many of their friends, who are all really cool. Erin and Jake started dating a couple of months after the three of us became friends, but our group chat still pops off. Their friendship has meant a lot to me, especially since moving to NYC in 2023, and I really appreciate having them in my life.
