In “Post Everything”, Luke Haines demonstrates that the only way to survive the tyrannical scourge of Britpop is to become an Outsider. The ‘avant-garde Arthur Scargill’ calls upon the nation’s pop stars to down tools and go on strike. We learn the story of Haines’ post-Britpop art house trio Black Box Recorder (Chas and Dave with a chanteuse), we meet a talking cat, two dead rappers (Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur), a mystical England football manager, and a shady transgender German Professor – exponent of a dangerous and radical ‘Beatles denial’ cult and author of “The Theorem of the Moron” (the most important book about rock that you’ve never heard of). Haines even finds time to write a musical for the National Theatre. Blisteringly funny and searingly scathing, “Post Everything” may quite possibly be the first and only truly surreal comic rock memoir. It even contains a killer recipe for scrambled eggs.
