Book

Another planet, a teenager in suburbia

Author: Thorn, Tracey

Year: 2020

Language: English

Type: Book

Publisher: Canongate

Physical or Electronic: Physical

Note: Originally published: 2019 Before she was a bestselling musician and writer, Tracey Thorn was a typical teenager: bored and cynical, despairing of her aspirational parents. Her only comfort came from house parties, meaningful conversations and the female pop icons who hinted at a new kind of living. Returning more than three decades later to Brookmans Park, scene of her childhood, Thorn takes us beyond the bus shelters and pub car parks, the utopian cul-de-sacs, the train to Potters Bar and the weekly discos, to the parents who wanted so much for their children, the children who wanted none of it.

Book

Bedsit disco queen, how I grew up and tried to be a pop star

Author: Thorn, Tracey

Year: 2013

Language: English

Type: Book

Publisher: Virago

Physical or Electronic: Physical

Note: Tracey Thorn was only 16 when she bought an electric guitar and joined a band. A year later, she formed an all-girl band called the Marine Girls and played gigs, and signed to an indie label, and started releasing records. Then, for 18 years, between 1982 and 2000, Thorn was one half of the group Everything But the Girl. This is the funny, perceptive and candid story of her 30-year pop career.
