About this product
Product Information
One of the greatest moments of College Rock in the 1980s, Let It Be had a huge impact on the fans who fell under its spell. For Colin Meloy, growing up in Montana a state that's strangely missing from the tour itineraries of almost every band the album was a lifeline and an inspiration. In this disarming memoir, Meloy lovingly recreates those feverish first years when rock music grips you and never lets go.EXCERPTThe fact that the Replacements had to endure that sort of Midwestern environment while trying to keep up a hard-case punk-rock image really appealed to my predicament. That they had to live through 40 below winters and frozen pipes, while surrounded by what I perceived as being a wholesome cultural backwater, brought the Replacements closer to me, closer to Montana. They seemed like the kind of band that could be practicing in my garage, my basement, and still be crunching out the same indelible music.

Reviews
Meloy is a student of fiction and his imaginative songs for The Decemberists document just that. But here, Meloy treats his affiliation with Let It Be as a metaphor for youth, his experience surrounding it almost a bildungsroman-all through the use of memoir. Meloy's voice is similar to that of David Sedaris, finding comedy in small things, finding uplift in sadness. In Meloy's remembrances we recall what it is to discover music, to fall in love with it (as many of us did before we fell in love with people, leaving the music of our youth our only true first love). This one's a keeper. --Zack Adcock, The Hub Weekly, 1/13/05|9780826416339|, "Willed or not, Meloy seems vulnerable in Let It Be, the 16th entry of 33 1/3's essays on really important albums series. The books typically boast chip-on-shoulder critical rigor; by contrast, Meloy reduces Let It Be to a small but crucial role in his own coming-of-age memoir. First reounting his purchase of the album as a grade-schooler, Meloy then concentrates on his punky, homoerotic adolescence in cornfed, homophobic Montana. In each anecdote, Let It Be plays deus ex machina, swooping down to rescue the young Meloy from his identity crises. These are solid short-short stories with bona fide epiphanies--that they shed light on Meloy's past only makes them more engaging." --Nick Sylvester, Village Voice, 1/11/05, "Growing up incultural isolation in Montanameans that whatever creative influences you encounter are ones you foundyourself. For a young music fan, it'sfrustrating: no one tours there, cool people leave, etc. So when you run into something like TheReplacements' seminal Let It Be , it'sakin to water in the desert. If you're Meloy,leader of the Decembrists, it can change the direction of your life. This book won't tell you much about Let it Be or The Replacements, but itwell conveys the grip that something like "Sixteen Blue" can have on a person-and why. When Paul Westerberg singe "Meetme anyplace or anywhere or anytime" in "I Will Dare," it can resonate like acall in the dark. Meloy recounts findinga shrine in the band at the 400 Club in Minneapolisin 2003, and his reaction is priceless. A great record becomes an active, emotional experience that stays withyou forever. For Meloy, it helped insetting the course of his future, and he expresses how and why in a compelling,engaging style." The Big Takeover, "Meloy skirts any sort of criticism or analysis of the Replacements' Let It Be, focusing instead on how the album fueled his love for music and performance in a memoir of his Montana childhood--guaranteeing frustration for Mats fans and glee for Decemberists fans." --Mark Baumgarten, Willamette Week, 1/5/05

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
