The Name Of This Book Is The Name Of This Band Is R.E.M. with Peter Ames Carlin

Adam chats with Peter Ames Carlin to discuss music
biographies, legendary musicians, and his new book, The Name
Of This Band Is R.E.M..

Peter is an acclaimed author and biographer, known for his
deep dives into the lives of music legends like Bruce
Springsteen, Paul McCartney, and Brian Wilson. His books are
celebrated for their meticulous research, insightful
storytelling, and the way they capture the complex journeys of
these iconic artists.


Peter has new book out, called The Name Of This Band is
R.E.M. It offers an intimate look at the rise, evolution, and
legacy of R.E.M.

Adam and Peter explore how he gets inside the minds of
these music legends, the challenges of capturing their stories,
what he’s learned along the way about the creative forces that
shape our culture, and what his R.E.M. biography offers
that others perhaps don’t. 

They talk about the socio-political position of the band, what
they represent, and how that progressed over time.  


The Name of This Band is R.E.M. is out on November 5th in
the US, and a little later in other territories.


Our next episode is out on Monday November 11th and will see
us provide commentary for the band's performance at Glastonbury
1999!
