"I don't think the amount of cross-dressing on stage and backstage during that grunge era has been matched since." In the following conversation with author Mark Yarm- not an unimaginative pseudonym for Mudhoney frontman Mark Arm, if you were wondering- we discuss the politics of grunge, the impact of heroin on the scene, and the music's legacy in contemporary rock. The tome tells of the big crossover successes- Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains- as well as relatively unsung bands like Mudhoney, L7, the Melvins, the U-Men, and Tad, who all helped define a major moment in recent pop music history.
Last fall, along with the 20th anniversary reissue of Nirvana's Nevermind and director Cameron Crowe's documentary Pearl Jam Twenty, came Everybody Loves Our Town, a comprehensive oral history of grunge and the Seattle scene. Paper Trail features conversations with the authors of noteworthy recent music books.
