Sergey Khorbit is a former VJ of the iconic TV channel A-One and now a radio host on Maximum. He firsthand knows the hot years of Russian alternative music. Drawing from the inside of underground life in the nineties, he tells how everything really happened.
And, of course, he answers the question: why did the First Alternative stop existing after all—and why no one ever brought back 2007. How were the workdays of a music TV channel organized, and what does whiskey have to do with it? Who and how delivered such overseas titans as Linkin Park, Marilyn Manson, and My Chemical Romance to Russia? Why did rotation suddenly switch to hip-hop—and how did we survive all that crazy trash-fuelled mayhem?
This book is for those whose slogan was the song “Junk,” whose September hasn’t burned out yet, and for those whose blazer changed from “fiery liquid” into an attribute of office clothing.
