“If Justin Peroff hadn’t gotten dumped by a girlfriend in 2001, you might never have heard of Broken Social Scene and I wouldn’t have written this book.”

So begins This Book is Broken the new book on the ten year evolution of Broken Social Scene by Stuart Berman. Stuart’s music editorial work has been seen on Pitchfork, Magnet, The Village Voice and The National Post. In his new book, Stuart chronicles the rise of Broken Social Scene from a two man operation that played small clubs in Toronto, to a massive super group that plays stadiums worldwide. I am sure you will keep hearing more about this over the next few weeks while it becomes available in the states.
