In I Die Each Time I Hear the Sound, musician Mike Doughty presents
stories about life on the road as an indie rock musician, taking
readers deep inside the dislocated life of an itinerant performer,
the exhilaration and terror involved in getting up in front of
strangers night after night, and as far behind the curtain as
they've ever dared to venture. Doughty's writing is deeply
provocative, eliciting visceral responses from his readers, and
this extraordinary book will blow the minds of people who have
never considered what life is like for those on the other side of
the stage. I Die Each Time I Hear the Sound is composed of strange,
surreal tales from on the road that draw from dream-like
conflations of memories of times and places, especially New York
City in the '90s. It looks at why diminished circumstances are
sometimes, bafflingly, more profitable than chart success, how the
nostalgia of fans is both a boon and a burden for an artist
struggling to stay vital, and what it means--and how it works--to
grow into middle age while still playing hundreds of shows and
releasing albums prolifically. Both a fascinating and dislocated
narrative and a highly review-worthy examination of what it is to
be an artist at this cultural juncture, I Die Each Time I Hear the
Sound is funny, unsparing, vulnerable, and incisive.
