I'll start with an obvious one. Great read.
I believe nobel winner bob dylan wrote a few good books.
>>24844183Used to read this as a kid thinking he was "literally me"
I read this when my wish was to be a composer at some point, it put me off.
>>24844249Should've started with Models for Beginners in Composition
this is mildly entertaining but not as good as I expected, mostly just a bunch of touring anecdotes and some rants about topical subjects
>>24844316Interesting, I would have thought it to have le randumb wacky humor scrawled across each page, but then I remember he wanted to be taken seriously most of the time.
Its pretty solid southern Gothic worship
>>24844249I'm gonna look that up
frog eyes frontman carey mercer has a collection called 'clouds of evil' with some bizarre short stories, personal essays, and blog posts. i love his writing.
>>24844330Actually I'm looking through it again and it's better than I remember, maybe I was in a bad mood when I read it? It's worth reading, it's just that the humor and idioms are extremely dated. And prepare for a lot of "we live in a society" type stuff.
Not a RHCP fan but it was unironically a fun read.
>>24844183Fahey is actually a pretty good writer (kinda unsurprisingly I guess)Other than that I guess Wagner was decent
>>24844208>get in the van
>>24845068No idea this existed, great late Christmas pick. Thanks.
>>24844613I like their early stuff and the fact Mr. Kiedis bangs 19 year olds, but their output since the late 90s has been subpar.
>>24845117Looking back, Rollins comes off like Dostoyevsky's underground man on a fuckton of steroids.
>>24844183I'm writing a theoretical treatise and making a computer program for set theory (set theory is the study of scales in their prime forms). >>24844249if you can teach yourself everything about music from textbooks and sheet music, I advise against wasting your money and time pursuing it in an academic setting.
has anyone here read Jamie Stewart's book?
>>24844183
>>24845696Yeah, in fact I/m reading it right now. Depraved shit
>>24844183The short story from that book about the drunk waking up on his brothers couch to the niece he's supposed to be babysitting having a train run on her by some street rats still haunts me.
>>24845749best answer ITT. what an amazing writer he was.
>>24844316I find Zappa very readable and I like that book a lot. This one is also very good. It says on the sleeve that Co de Kloet is a musician but I don't know his music, in any case much of the text is transcripts of Zappa answering his questions. It reads well as a more freewheeling companion to TRFZB. Includes some discussions with people who worked with Zappa as well, including Kent Nagano, who provides a very interesting perspective on Zappa as a musician.
>>24844249If you want less technical and more personal Schoenberg, this is an excellent collection.
>>24844183Gira is an embarrassment to the human race.
>>24846592Just another edgy tryhard like Boyd Rice.
>>24846453what kind of depravity? is it any good? do you like his prose?
>>24844183>>24846592Hi, Michael Gira here.Thank you for reading my book.
>>24847346I didn't read it, Michael
bumpp
>>24847346It was great seeing you in concert Micheal, I'll check out your book
"Lords of Chaos: The Bloody Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground" by Moynihan. Pretty fun read about the black metal retards in Norway.
>>24844183We made a chart some time ago, but I can't find it in my archives. Maybe go ask /mu/
>>24845136hey sweetie that's a DVD
>>24845068cool, didn't know fahey wrote.
