Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.

First time seeing the book "in the wild."

Clearly, cool cats dig it!

The unspeakable cuteness that is tuxedo cat Bettles P. Kotzebue, shown here turning on her back with her front paws curled up, her whiskers relaxed, and her back paws stretched out. She is on the bed, asking for "belly toll."

Bettles P. Kotzebue
Tuxedo cat Bettles P. Kotzebue stitches out on top of a blue and yellow tablecloth with flowers on its design. Is she perusing recipes or just being cute? Probably both, my friends. Probably both.

Yup.

My new book ROCK 'N' ROLL MANIFESTO (a collection of short stories, essays, and passionate rants about music, records, radio, and fans) is coming in early September.

#RRM #RocknRollManifesto #UglyDogs
Preliminary book cover for ROCK 'N' ROLL MANIFESTO AND OTHER STORIES by Alex M. Stein. The cover shows a couch with two guitars resting on it. There is a blanket with a pattern showing stars and crescent moons. An old-fashioned radio is to the right. Behind the couch is a shelf with children's toys, including a hobby horse, a toy parking garage, a toy stove, various cars, and a basket of toys. The photo was taken at the Fish Factory in Stöðvarfjörður, Iceland by me. The book itself is coming out in September 2025 and there will be more information available soon.
