Sonic Life

Thurston Moore

6.5/10

Was good but classic approach to a biog.

Dandy in the Underworld

Sebastian Horsley

7/10

Some fantastic lines and overall a good albeit typical biography done in a slightly atypical way.

Vacationland

John Hodgman

7/10

Decent take on autobiography. Bit different in approach and some funny writing.

Devil in a Coma

Mark Lanegan

6/10

Going through the motions - an interesting book to read in 20 years as a reminder of COVID but it was pretty dull and short. Especially after his first book…

Sing Backwards and Weep

Mark Lanegan

8/10

Some brilliant writing, brutal honesty and crazy stories - how he survived I have no idea. Really enjoyed reading it.

Rumours of My Demise

Evan Dando

6/10

Decent anecdotes and honesty but kinda boring.

Meet Me in the Bathroom

Lizzy Goodman

8/10

Well interviewed and compiled/edited. Nostalgic read with lots of information about the bands that shaped a key part of modern music.

Acid For The Children

Flea

6/10

Some interesting bits but cutting off at RHCP (prepping for another book) seems a stretch. Standard rock autobiography. Also how do they remember all these…

The Trading Game

Gary Stevenson

6/10

Interesting enough but quite standard rags to riches story. Also a bit ego hungry and overblown. Wanted more about the technical side.
