Is This It: Meet Me in the Bathroom

Meet Me in the Bathroom, Lizzie Goodman’s essential oral history of the early 2000s NYC rock revival, chronicles the rise and coked out denouement of bands like The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol, Vampire Weekend, and the Walkmen. With The Strokes’ debut Is This It as this week’s Spin entry, Matt looks to Yeah Yeah Yeah’s Fever to Tell and The Walkmen’s Bows + Arrows as essential documents of a brief, shining moment in rock history.
