nikki sixx's 'the heroin diaries' is pretty goddam riveting.

ian christie's 'everybody wants some: the van halen saga' wasn't nearly as debauched as it should have been.

supposedly, david lee roth (and his ghostwriter henry rollins) will be releasing a sequel to 'crazy from the heat' next year.

I actually read that when I was in third or fourth grade, believe it or not.

The Hidden Landscape by Richard Fortey. fascinating story of the geology and geomorphological processes that formed the British Isles.

Are these both about The Who?

Boy Island is a semi-fictitious one about Cracker, by a guy who was allowed to follow them on tour for a while.

If that's a Pete Townsend joke, I didn't get it until just now.

Steve Earle's Hardcore Troubadour is a pretty good account of his fucked-up life.

Slash: the autobiography. read it 3 days over christmas. holy crap. how is he still alive????????? Mick Walls' collection of stories is pretty cool too. its on his website.

piss on that, i liked this book...especially the Butthole Surfers chapter...easily the funniest...the Big Black chapter was very lacking though and i looked forward to that one the most...

i thought this was pretty good:

Hammer of the Gods...

If someone can point out Michael Azerrad for being (at all) full of shit, I'd like to hear the reasoning behind it.

That is, not "he wasn't there and he doesn't understand what it was all about," kind of shit. I would like to see blatant falsehoods.

And if you don't like his book simply because you don't like his book, that's awesome.

(I'm not trying to prove anyone wrong or right, but I've read a few of his books and he seems like a very honest man.)
