bio:
Caryn Rose began her writing career in 1980, when she tried in vain to convince her high school newspaper editor to run an article she'd written defending punk rock. This would inspire her to take matters into her own hands during the 80's DIY publishing revolution. The Who fanzine she helped initiate, The Relay, was chosen by the band to be included in their exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and she also created the first R.E.M. fanzine, Radio Free Europe. After a successful stint working for a major record label, Caryn followed the high-tech boom to Seattle in 1995. There, she built her first web site (radio ethiopia), and started the first Patti Smith mailing list. From 1996-2001, Caryn was a founding member of fivehorizons.com, the critically-regarded, award-winning independent web site for Pearl Jam. Her most recent work can be found in legendary Seattle music magazine Backfire, on Blogcritics.org, as a masthead contributor to the Springsteen publication Backstreets (with four cover stories to her credit, as well as interviews with Peter Buck of R.E.M., Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes, Alan Vega of Suicide and Jesse Malin) and on this very site, jukeboxgraduate.com.
These days, her alter-ego, MetsGrrl, writes about baseball and the New York Mets at MetsGrrl.com. She also blogs about Brooklyn at 11222. Caryn's first novel, Joey Ramone Is Dead, was completed in the Fall of 2002. She is currently working on her second novel, and is represented by Annelise Robey of the Jane Rotrosen Agency.
Her photography has been published in Spin and Rolling Stone and is currently regularly featured on Brownstoner, Gothamist and Curbed.
