Name and Author of eBook: Searching For Love: Courtney Love in Liverpool 1982 by Dave Haslam
WRZ$ reward: 100 WRZ$
Epub ideal but will take whatever with thanks..
At the age of 17 – before Hole, before meeting Kurt Cobain – Courtney Love took a trip to Liverpool. She describes the months she spent in the city in 1982 as ‘one of the most important things of my existence’. In ‘Searching For Love’, the third book in his Art Decades series, Dave Haslam explores the stories she’s told of her stay, talks to people who remember her, and celebrates the Liverpool music scene that attracted and inspired her.
Courtney Love has said that Liverpool was a great place to learn how to be a rock star. But what do we learn about the young Courtney? That her days were filled with cider and LSD; that in Liverpool she lost her virginity while listening to ‘Isolation’ by Joy Division; that she hung out in Café Tabac, and Probe Records; wrote songs about porridge; feuded with Pete Burns; and drank Grand Marnier all the way to Manchester.
DJ and writer Dave Haslam made his DJing debut at the Hacienda in 1986. He played over 450 times at the legendary club. His journalism has since appeared in publications including the Guardian, the London Review of Books, and the New Statesman. He’s featured on radio and TV, and written five full-length books, including his memoir ‘Sonic Youth Slept On My Floor’ (acclaimed by BBC 6 Music presenter Gilles Peterson as “the best book of 2018”). Among his other activities, he has curated music, art, and photography events for organisations including Manchester Art Gallery, Manchester International Festival, BDC (Parma, Italy), and Silencio (Paris). His latest project is ‘Art Decades’; a limited-edition series of small format books about subjects including vinyl collecting, Keith Haring's New York nightlife, the Angry Brigade, Courtney Love's life-changing trip to Liverpool in 1982, and Sylvia Plath alone in Paris in 1956. The books have been described as "Lovely editions & beautifully written" by broadcaster James O'Brien.
