In this video Canadian Guitarist/producer Dean Wolfe reviews Fingers Crossed, How Music Saved Me From Success by Miki Berenyi
A LITTLE ABOUT ME: I'm Dean Wolfe, a mostly self-taught Canadian guitarist/composer/multi-instrumentalist/singer/producer/performer. I started out as a full time musician, on the road at age 17 for two years, then went part-time ever since, while holding day careers including chef and spiritual health care while raising a family.
As a producer I've made hundreds of my own songs for media and award winning documentaries etc. I've been in several bands including a prog/jazz fusion act nFuze, performing in International Jazz festivals and jazz clubs. I mostly abandoned the prog genre in the 90s but have returned to it now with vigour 30 years later. So much prog! My own prog band was rejected by record labels as "too progressive' in the late 80s, so i detoured into grunge, pop and alternative instead (then folk / acoustic fingerstyle guitar and ambient electronic as well). At the end of 2022 I fell into a shoegaze rabbit hole (so you will see lots featured here.)

Such an immersive and revealing read. I was stunned how personally confessional Miki was about various aspects of her life - highly recommended 👍
Her book is great. As a Lush fan from the early 90s, this was a wonderful pickup.
You should check out a recent 2-part interview with Miki talking with Budgie (Siouxsie and the Banshees) and Lol Tolhurst (The Cure) on their Curious Creatures podcast.
I will!
I've been checking out Sing-Sing band with Emma Anderson of LUSH as well- some great material.
I was a pretty big Lush fan back in the 90’s, met Miki and Emma briefly after a show. I was curious about this book, now I have to check it out. Love the Space:1999 connection!
oh darn, I was going to insert a picture of her mom in space 1999 during my mention of it in the video. She's the only asian woman I think, so most people can figure it out.
You are so handsome
Why thank you!
Did Simon Reynolds by chance send you the book?
how did you know!?
@@deanwolfechannel It was an educated guess. I have several of his books. He’s one of my all-time favorite music writers, and I know he loves shoegaze music. How do you know him?
Also, check out Plot Twist video when/if you get the chance, it has some shoegazey elements to it and I like how the video turned out, very moody. The song reminds me of a band we both like a lot. Btw, I find your reaction videos very refreshing. Thanks!
oh, oops, I just double checked and it's Simon T. - a different Simon I'm guessing.
@@deanwolfechannel Yes I am a different Simon lol So pleased you enjoyed the book though 🖤
