All These Things That I've Done: My Insane, Improbable Rock

All These Things That I've Done: My Insane, Improbable Rock Life

â€œThe most trusted opinion in rock musicâ€ (Billy Corgan, The Smashing Pumpkins), Matt Pinfield offers the ultimate music fanâ€™s memoir, a chronicle of the songs and artists that inspired his improbable career alongside some of the all-time greats, from The Beatles to KISS to U2 to The Killers.

Matt Pinfield is the ultimate music fan. Heâ€™s the guy who knows every song, artist, and musical riff ever recorded, down to the most obscure bandâ€™s B-side single on its vinyl-only EP import. As a child, music helped Pinfield make sense of the world. Later, as a teenager, Pinfield would approach his music idols after concerts and explain why he loved their music. As an adult, rock music inspired his career, fueled relationships, and, at times, became a life raft.

In this expansive, no-holds-barred memoir Pinfield traces his lifelong music obsessionâ€”from the heavy metal that infused his teenage years, to his first encounters with legends like Lou Reed and The Ramones and how, through his post-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, Pinfield shares his five decades of stories from the front lines of rock and 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 Iâ€™ve Done explains how a born outsider wound up in the inner circle.
