Everybody loves our town by mark yarm6/20/2023 ![]() ![]() RCM: You said you had some leftover interviews. I wouldn’t have taken it upon myself to do it, but since I had all this extra material, he proposed the idea of expanding it to the oral history of grunge. I wrote that around the summer of 2008, and I had a lot of material left over from those interviews, and my agent asked “Do you want to expand this?” ![]() I talked with the founders of Sub Pop, Jonathan Poneman, Bruce Pavitt, a bunch of musicians, Chris Cornell, Mark Arm of Mudhoney – no relation – and Tad Doyle of the band Tad, people like that. Mark Yarm: Well this actually came out of a piece I did of Sub Pop Records for Blender for the occasion of Sub Pop’s 20 th anniversary. What made you want to put together a book about grunge music? Had you been around it frequently in your career? Rock Cellar Magazine: Your research is meticulous. ![]() Rock Cellar Magazine spoke with author Mark Yarm about his book, its conception, and the essence of ‘grunge’ as viewed through the rear-view mirror. The result is one of the most complete, well-rounded depictions of the grunge movement in existence, told from the perspective of those that actually lived through it. Not content to publish merely another book discussing Nirvana, Kurt Cobain, and the like, Everybody Loves Our Town features in-depth discussions with musicians, label heads, industry figures, hangers-on, and others that were directly involved with the movement. ![]()
