madness The Book of Drugs + Suggs I just finished Mike Doughty's The Book of Drugs. Was there ever a more dysfunctional band than Soul Coughing? I'm sure it was as hard to write as it was to read. I met Doughty once in Pittsburgh after s Soul Coughing show. He was amiable
diana death Diana Death: Odds and Ends Hard to believe this is an "odds and ends" collection. It's incredibly strong. Long Lashes, Subete a Mi Moto and STFU is one hell of an opening trifecta. If you like X, X-Ray Specs, slap-echo vocals you will love it. Vain Superstition's 808 beats
Bodies: Life And Death In Music Been listening to Ian Winwood's book about rock and roll excess, and his Kerrang! times and mental collapse. I highly recommend listening to it although I'm sure reading it is also great.
Atmosphere: Yesterday When it comes to hiphop no one explores the plight of the working class better than Atmosphere. When Life Hands You Lemons, Paint That Shit Gold is arguably Ant and Slug's best album or at least the one that made a seismic leap for them. One song in

Put your hand in the hand While driving around my new home in Tennessee a song came on I haven't heard in a long time. I didn't even realize it was in my iTunes and have no idea how it got there. But I was so struck by it, I fell down
the church The Blurred Crusade The Church have always been an important band to me. Which is strange to say because I came into them late. Their first album was in 1981 when I was five. But I didn't hear of them until Under The Milky Way, like most people in America. Although

Devil in a Coma: Mark Lanegan I just finished reading Devil in a Coma, Mark Lanegan's memoir and what proved to be the last work published in his lifetime. Although it's not so much a memoir than it is a disjointed and fragmentary series of diary entries, poetry and random flashes of
