Overview
Matt Pinfield āmakes rock ānā roll fandom sound like a lifelong heroic questāwhich it isā (Rob Sheffield). Heās the guy who knows every song, artist, and musical riff ever recorded, down to the most obscure bandās B-side single on its vinyl-only import EP. As a child, Pinfield made sense of the world through music. Later, as a teenager, Pinfield would approach his music idols after concerts and explain why he loved their songs. As an adult, rock music inspired his career, fueled his relationships, and, at times, became a life raft.
In this ācharming, rambling account of a life saved by rock ānā roll...Pinfield is a disarmingly likable guideā (Kirkus Reviews) through his lifelong music obsessionāfrom the heavy metal that infused his teenage years, to his first encounters with legends like Lou Reed and the Ramones and how, through his MTV years, he played a major role in bringing nineties alt rock mainstream. Over his long career Pinfield has interviewed everyone from Paul McCartney to Nirvana to Jay-Z, earning the trust and admiration of artists and fans alike. Now, for the first time, he shares his five decades of stories from the front lines of rock ānā roll, exploring how, with nothing more than passion and moxy, he became a sought-after reporter, unlikely celebrity, and the last word in popular music. Featuring a rousing collection of best-of lists, favorite tracks, and artist profiles, All These Things That Iāve Done āis an excellent readā (Publishers Weekly) about how a born outsider wound up in the inner circle.
