The musical ecosystem from which these bands emerged, though, was expansive and diverse. Grunge players comingled with the electronic, jazz, psychedelic, and ambient music communities, and an inventive, collaborative group of local labelskranky, Drag City, and Thrill Jockey, among othersembraced the new, evolving sound of indie rock. Bruce Adams, cofounder of kranky records, was there to bear witness.In Youre with Stupid, Adams offers an insiders look at the role Chicagos underground music industry played in the transformation of indie rock.

From an author who helped create the scene and launched some of its best music, Youre with Stupid is a fascinating and entertaining read.
