Along the way, it takes in such pioneering artists as P.J. Harvey, Sonic Youth, the Pixies, Bikini Kill, Nick Cave, Beck, Cat Power, Fugazi, Mekons, Pavement, Belle \u0026amp; Sebastian, Meat Puppets, My Bloody Valentine, Sebadoh, the Breeders, Jeff Buckley, Guided by Voices, Will Oldham, Hole, Flaming Lips, the Magnetic Fields, and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verse Chorus Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45030370508951,"sku":"9781891241673","price":536.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781891241673.webp?v=1769205575","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/now-is-the-time-to-invent-9781891241673","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
