It's the jerks in nice guy clothing, not the players in Ed Hardy, who break the hearts of modern girls who grew up in the shadow of feminism, thinking they could have everything, but end up compromising constantly. The cowards, the kidults, the critics, and the contenders: these are the stars of Klausner's memoir about how hard it is to find a man--good or otherwise--when you're a cynical grown-up exiled in the dregs of Guyville. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Off the popularity of her \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e \"Modern Love\" piece about getting the brush-off from an indie rock musician, \u003ci\u003eI Don't care About Your Band\u003c\/i\u003e is marbled with the wry strains of Julie Klausner's precocious curmudgeonry and brimming with truths that anyone who's ever been on a date will relate to. Klausner is an expert at landing herself waist-deep in crazy, time and time again, in part because her experience as a comedy writer (\u003ci\u003eBest Week Ever, TV Funhouse\u003c\/i\u003e on \u003ci\u003eSNL\u003c\/i\u003e) and sketch comedian from NYC's Upright Citizens Brigade fuels her philosophy of how any scene should unfold, which is, \"What? That sounds crazy? Okay, I'll do it.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eI Don't Care About Your Band\u003c\/i\u003e charts a distinctly human journey of a strong-willed but vulnerable protagonist who loves men like it's her job, but who's done with guys who know more about love songs than love. Klausner's is a new outlook on dating in a time of pop culture obsession, and she spent her 20's doing personal field research to back up her philosophies. This is the girl's version of \u003ci\u003eHigh Fidelity\u003c\/i\u003e. By turns explicit, funny and moving, Klausner's debut shows the evolution of a young woman who endured myriad encounters with the wrong guys, to emerge with real- world wisdom on matters of the heart. \u003ci\u003eI Don't Care About Your Band\u003c\/i\u003e is Julie Klausner's manifesto, and every one of us can relate.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJulie Klausner is a comedy writer who lives in New York City.
