The essential second volume of memoirs by Brett Anderson, which reveals the key years of the Suede story

Brett Anderson is the founder and lead singer of Suede.

True to his word, this is another music book that steers away from the expected... it has a brazen confidence and it's rarely dull. As such, Afternoons With the Blinds Down is a worthy successor to Coal Black Mornings. I look forward to the third installment, in which Anderson hits middle age, which will surely be called Evenings Under the Electric Blanket.
