Soft cover. Condition: As New. INSCRIPTION FROM SHELDON on title page; From 1990 to 2001, while the popular radio waves were consumed with the buzz of grunge and alternative rock, Winnipeg managed to craft a unique underground music scene that moved in its own direction. At once informed by their predecessors and stubbornly determined to create the art that they wanted to see made, bands like Kittens, Propagandhi, and the Weakerthans built on this foundation and ultimately found success beyond the Perimeter Highway, though they always remained true to the values and defiant spirit that first allowed them to crawl up from the muddy banks of the Red River. Author Sheldon Birnie has gone to painstaking lengths to document one of the most important decades in Winnipeg's musical history. Through detailed research and extensive interviews, Missing Like Teeth paints a vivid picture of the Heart of the Continent and the characters that inhabited its tiny stages from 1990 to 2001.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Ride along on a journey through the wild and wondrous backwoods of the Canadian prairies, where the possibilities are as endless as the horizon, where the pavement turns to sand.A golf pro claims he was abducted by aliens before the big local tournament, though townspeople figure he finally fell off the wagon. A line cook comes face-to-face with something from his worst nightmare only to be mocked mercilessly by his peers. A beer league hockey player worries he didn't do enough to help a former teammate-and wonders if it was the man or his old pair of skates that was haunted. In these 20 stories, the mundane and the menacing meet over a pint at the local rink on the darkest night of the year, or around a midsummer bonfire beneath the stars on the shores of a deep forbidden lake.¿¿'Where the Pavement Turns to Sand is a collection of working class, everyday heartbreaks and bad decisions. In a refreshing rural Canadian setting, the characters in these slice of life tales stumble through divorce, debt, bad sex, and boring jobs, but also curling robots, aliens, jackalopes, wendigo, lots of legs wet with urine, and (maybe) sasquatches with an unexpected whimsy. What makes it work is Birnie's signature dark humor and conversational style that makes every story feel like it was your neighbor telling it to you over a beer around a campfire, or at the rink. Surprising, entertaining, grimy and weird.'-Meagan Lucas, author of Songbirds and Stray Dogs and Here in the Dark, Editor in Chief of Reckon Review.…
