RIP D. Boon

LCD Soundsystem maybe?

Dismemberment plan was active around that time

...

LCD Soundsystem, Interpol, The Strokes were the key ones I'd say, mainly acclaimed, influential indie acts in the first half of the decade

The books covers and/or interviews all these artists and the artists associated with them like: the White Stripes, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Jonathan Fire*Eater, the Vines, the Hives, the Walkmen, TV on the Radio, the Rapture, the Moldy Peaches, Regina Spektor, the Killers, the National, Vampire Weekend, Dirty Projectors, Ryan Adams, Kings of Leon, Courtney Love, and Grizzly Bear, as well as a bunch more to a bit of a lesser extent.

No. New York had already jumped the shark at that point. The fact that people ITT are naming LCD fucking Soundsystem of all bands should hammer that point home. It's hard to think of a lamer, whiter, more tryhard act than that.

If you still value New York in any sort of way in 2017, you are spooked as fuck and a complete and utter plen to boot.

The only problem with this book is it is completely unlike any other book. So when you finish you know you have just experienced something so unique that you will never experience anything like it ever again. Amazing.
