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

  • Summary

  • 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!
