"For anyone raised in the era between the record store and the playlist, MySpace was everything. And yet we knew nothing about its rise or fall. Michael Tedder breaks through distant nostalgia with a masterfully written, compelling and emotional history of my generation's musical touchstone." -- Conor Murphy , Foxing, "Much like Michael Tedder's best journalism, Top Eight contextualizes ever-evolving soundtracks for a world we're increasingly wishing could be a little bit better. There's dark humor and indignance for the optimism we've lost. And, as always, there's some serious fandom. Top Eight vividly recreates an era marked by the bands we loved and the corporate implications we were too young to understand at the time ." -- Julie Seabaugh , author of Ringside at Roast Battle and director of Too Soon: Comedy After 9/11, "I lived many parts of this book as an executive at an independent record label. To hear from inside sources about the struggles to keep it together and issues the business faced--as independent artists and a site not ready for prime time were thrust to the front--gives a new appreciation for the moment we're in, and for doing things for the right reasons." -- Tom Mullen , Music Industry Executive, Founder, Podcaster and Writer at WashedUpEmo.com, "A thorough and fascinating history, Michael Tedder's Top Eight traces the unique collision of technology and youth culture that came to define an era . An essential examination that reveals the behind the scenes machinations of this music biz boom to bust tale." -- Bob Mehr , author of the New York Times bestseller Trouble Boys: The True Story of the Replacement s, "Much like Michael Tedder's best journalism, Top Eight contextualizes ever-evolving soundtracks for a world we're increasingly wishing could be a little bit better. There's dark humor and indignance for the optimism we've lost. And, as always, there's some serious fandom. Top Eight vividly recreates an era marked by the bands we loved and the corporate implications we were too young to understand at the time ." -- Julie Seabaugh , author of Ringside at Roast Battle and director of Too Soon: Comedy After 9/11 "I was only a casual MySpace user, but Michael Tedder's excellent Top Eight made me wistful for a simpler era of social media, before things got super-corporate and unimaginably toxic . And given the ongoing emo renaissance, the story Tedder tells feels all the more vital." -- Mark Yarm, author of Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge, "While the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Interpol were cruising around the Lower East Side becoming NYC art stars, the scene kids were busy at home, organizing their Top 8 and deciding which Paramore song to pin to their profiles. In this comprehensive look at the Meet Me in the Chatroom generation, Michael Tedder gives us a tender, thoughtful look at the music of our MySpace moment and the impact it still has on all of us, today ." -- Geoff Rickly , Thursday, "While the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Interpol were cruising around the lower east side becoming NYC art stars, the scene kids were busy at home, organizing their Top 8 and deciding which Paramore song to pin to their profiles. In this comprehensive look at the Meet Me in the Chatroom generation, Michael Tedder gives us a tender, thoughtful look at the music of our MySpace moment and the impact it still has on all of us, today ." -- Geoff Rickly , Thursday, "With all of the rush of being placed into the Top 8 of your crush, Michael Tedder's Top Eight: How The MySpace Era Changed Music Forever details the Internet's greatest (and sometimes horniest) social media/music/networking platform with the precision of a Scene Queen clipping raccoon tail extensions into her perfectly flat-ironed fringe. Rigorously reported, researched, and -- in the case of your favorite twenty-first century emo bands -- remembered , this oral history celebrates '00s alternative culture, technology, and early online fandom with real expertise, proving, once and for all, that Mom, this isn't a phase. (Okay, well, MySpace was. But the effects of it? Those are forever.) A real joy for nostalgic readers, and an eye-opening text for all others." -- Maria Sherman , author of Larger than Life: A History of Boy Bands from NKOTB to BTS, "This oral history takes you from basement shows to boardrooms to learn, in fascinating, hilarious, and yes, *emo* detail, why a low-tech website with eyesore graphics felt like home to so many music lovers. I loved it!" -- DC Pierson , author of The Boy Who Couldn't Sleep and Never Had To, "I lived many parts of this book as an executive at an independent record label. To hear from inside sources about the struggles to keep it together and issues the business faced--as independent artists and a site not ready for prime time were thrust to the front-- gives a new appreciation for the moment we're in, and for doing things for the right reasons. " -- Tom Mullen , Music Industry Executive, Founder, Podcaster and Writer at WashedUpEmo.com, "Life moves pretty fast on the Internet--for instance, not that long ago, MySpace of all things was a big deal in the digital world. Without this book, an important piece of early twenty-first-century music history might have been relegated to the Wayback Machine. Fortunately, Michael Tedder has stepped in to tell the tale of how this early mainstay of social media changed the course of pop forever. " -- Steven Hyden , author of Twilight of the Gods , This Isn't Happening , and other books, "With all of the rush of being placed into the Top 8 of your crush, Michael Tedder's Top Eight: How The MySpace Era Changed Music Forever details the Internet's greatest (and sometimes horniest) social media/music/networking platform with the precision of a Scene Queen clipping raccoon tail extensions into her perfectly flat-ironed fringe.

A real joy for nostalgic readers, and an eye-opening text for all others." -- Maria Sherman , author of Larger than Life: A History of Boy Bands from NKOTB to BTS, " More than a cultural history--this is an epic . Michael Tedder tells one of the weirdest, funniest stories of our time: the rise and fall of MySpace culture. It's a tale full of freaks and geeks and loners and hustlers, discovering music and each other. But Tedder turns it into a brilliant and addictive chronicle of a pop explosion that helped shape our moment. An absolute delight to read." -- Rob Sheffield , bestselling author of Love is a Mix Tape , Dreaming the Beatles , and other books

Synopsis
"A brilliant and addictive chronicle of a pop explosion that helped shape our moment. An absolute delight to read." -- Rob Sheffield , bestselling author of Love is a Mix Tape , Dreaming the Beatles , and other books In extensive interviews with scene pioneers and mainstays including Chris Carrabba (Dashboard Confessional), Geoff Rickly (Thursday), Frank Iero (My Chemical Romance), Gabe Saporta (Midtown/Cobra Starship), and Max Bemis (Say Anything), veteran music journalist Michael Tedder has crafted a once-in-a-generation exploration of emo and The Scene that is as forthright as it is tenderly nostalgic, taking to task the elements of toxic masculinity and crass consumerism that bled out of the early 2000s cultural milieu and ultimately led to the implosion of emo's first home and the best social media network, MySpace. When MySpace thrived, the Internet was still fun. Top Eight recalls the excitement and freedom of the era, an unprecedented time when a generation of fans were able to connect directly with the bands and musicians they idolized, from Colbie Caillat to Lil Jon. MySpace changed everything, and Top Eight gives major voices of the era the chance to tell us why it couldn't last., In extensive interviews with scene pioneers and mainstays including Chris Carrabba (Dashboard Confessional), Geoff Rickly (Thursday), Frank Iero (My Chemical Romance), Gabe Saporta (Midtown/Cobra Starship), and Max Bemis (Say Anything), veteran music journalist Michael Tedder has crafted a once-in-a-generation exploration of emo and The Scene that is as forthright as it is tenderly nostalgic, taking to task the elements of toxic masculinity and crass consumerism that bled out of the early 2000s cultural milieu and ultimately led to the implosion of emo's first home and the best social media network, MySpace.

I was also very pleased and reassured by the quality of packaging for the book. It arrived in a cardboard box, and inside, it had brown paper to pad out the box, plus brown paper around the book to further protect it. This meant the book survived international shipping in great condition. On that basis, I highly recommend this seller.Hardstyle Abs: Hit Hard. Lift Heavy. Look the Part. by in New (Nr. 127042788743)
