"This is the first published collection of Dean's lyrics, and is the result of collaboration with the artist Ed Templeton, who created the illustrations for the book. The songs presented here span his entire career from Galaxie 500 and Luna to his recent solo work."

"Born in Wellington, New Zealand, Dean Wareham moved to New York City as a teenager, in August 1977. It was here, in high school, that he met future bandmates Damon Krukowski and Naomi Yang. All three went on to attend Harvard University, and in 1987 founded Galaxie 500, for which Wareham was the singer, guitarist and principal songwriter. Galaxie 500 released three albums For Rough Trade between 1987 and 1991 that have only grown in stature and influence. Wareham’s next band Luna recorded seven albums for Elektra and Beggar’s Banquet, followed by four albums with wife Britta Phillips as Dean & Britta, and three simply as Dean Wareham, including his most recent album I Have Nothing to Say to the Mayor of L.A. Also a writer, Wareham’s memoir, Black Postcards, was published by Penguin, and he has contributed to Salon, Pitchfork, the Talkhouse and Counterpunch."
"Ed Templeton is known for his interdisciplinary practice, most notably of photographs documenting people and street life of his Huntington Beach, California neighborhood, intimate portraits of his wife Deanna, and paintings depicting the psychological complexity of American suburbia. He first gained recognition as a teenage skateboard prodigy in the late 1980s and learned to photograph using disposable cameras while actively touring for competitions. He later expanded to incorporate his artwork and graphics for his skate company Toy Machine. Templeton has exhibited both his photography and artwork extensively worldwide, and his work is included in the permanent collections of Museum Dhondt-Dhaenes, Deurle, Belgium, Museum Het Domein, The Netherlands, The Orange County Museum of Art, Santa Ana, CA, and the Zabludowicz Collection, London, UK".
