{"product_id":"afternoons-with-the-blinds-drawn-signed-book","title":"Afternoons with the Blinds Drawn: Signed Book { vinyl }","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe trajectory of Suede - hailed in infancy as both 'The Best New Band in Britain' and 'effete southern wankers' - is recalled with moving candour by its frontman Brett Anderson, whose vivid memoir swings seamlessly between the tender, witty, turbulent, euphoric and bittersweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSuede began by treading the familiar jobbing route of London's emerging new 1990s indie bands - gigs at ULU, the C amden Powerhaus and the Old Trout in Windsor - and the dispiriting experience of playing a set to an audience of one. But in these halcyon days, their potential was undeniable. Anderson's creative partnership with guitarist Bernard Butler exposed a unique and brilliant hybrid of lyric and sound; together they were a luminescent team - burning brightly and creating some of the era's most revered songs and albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn Afternoons with the Blinds drawn, Anderson unflinchingly explores his relationship with addiction, heartfelt in the regret that early musical bonds were severed, and clear-eyed on his youthful persona. 'As a young man . . . I oscillated between morbid self-reflection and vainglorious narcissism' he writes. His honesty, sharply self-aware and articulate, makes this a compelling autobiography, and a brilliant insight into one of the most significant bands of the last quarter century.. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brett Anderson (Suede)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57432021270859,"sku":"978034914364","price":2.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/6169\/9915\/files\/Bernard_Butler_signed_book.png?v=1779702263","url":"https:\/\/vinylvintage.shop\/products\/afternoons-with-the-blinds-drawn-signed-book","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
