The Apples in Stereo

$20.00

Without the Apples in Stereo, there would be no Elephant 6. Without Robert Schneider, there would be no Neutral Milk Hotel. In author Josh Bloom’s first-person account, you get to decide whether these claims are truth or myth.

About the author

Josh Bloom published his first newsletter before turning ten, written using his next-door neighbor’s typewriter, copied with carbon paper, and distributed to mailboxes on his bicycle. His first story was the obituary of John Belushi. Strange for a ten-year-old? Yes!

  • "This book is completely different from the way I thought of things, but it appears to be accurate!"

    —Robert Schneider

    “This book is a different style of band biography than I’m used to—and I like it! Josh Bloom really knows Robert Schneider and the Apples in Stereo and he doesn’t hide it—in fact his own relationship with the band and the music is an integral part of the story, offering a uniquely compelling view of a uniquely compelling band.”

    —Marc Masters (Rolling Stone, The Washington Post, Pitchfork)
