#227: Meet Me In The Bathroom

Lizzy Goodman and Adam Green on Stacey Abrams Novels, Caron Dache Neocolor 1 Crayons, The Joan Didion exhibition at the Hammer museum, Beck’s “Mutations”, and more.

Cool people like cool things, which is why we asked Lizzy Goodman and Adam Green to share some recommendations on Perfectly Imperfect.

Lizzy Goodman is the author of Meet Me In The Bathroom, a must-read book that chronicles the music rebirth of New York City in the early aughts by covering iconic bands such as The Strokes, LCD Soundsystem, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Adam Green’s influential anti-folk band with Kimya Dawson, The Moldy Peaches. If you’re a sucker for this era like I am, you’ll be excited to hear that they made a documentary based on the book with nearly two hours of mostly unseen footage, and it’s really fucking good. The film will be in select theaters starting November 4th and tonight Lizzy is doing a reading + signing at Rough Trade that’s moderated by friend of the newsletter Naomi Fry. Lucky for us, Lizzy and Adam are here to tell us what they’ve been into.

Without further ado
