Just finished this and very much enjoyed it . The experience of reading a story like this and then having all the music in hand to listen to chronologically and so much video (interviews , stories , shows ) available on YouTube was just cool . Can’t say I was ever a fan of Alice at the time (1990-) and in fact really dismissed them as a metal band . I came across something on TikTok about Demri and got sucked in to her and Laynes tragic rock love story and pulled the thread from there. In some ways I wonder if not being familiar made it an even more fun experience unearthing so much material . I now have 5 more grunge related books and a list of my favorite AIC and Mad Season songs and albums . RIP Layne and Demri . I keep trying to edit that song list but I keep finding more to put on it . I like the wierd older experimental shit they did when Layne was probably pretty strung out —-

AIC / Mad Season albums ranked for me :

Unplugged

Jar of Flies

Sap

Mad Season —-above

AIC

Dirt

Music Bank / best of the box

Facelift

It’ll probably change

Reading Mark Lanegans bio now so might have a Screaming Trees listening party next

Added a list of my fav AIC / Mad Season versions
