Negative Positive
Title: Very interesting...
Review: This is a very decent biography on Sonic Youth. One of the cool things about the book is the little bits of facts / gossip behind the concepts of each album. It is very thorough and Foege makes great efforts to appeal to all bands and people related. This is particularly evident when he draws connections between Sonic Youth and other bands such as the Beastie Boys, Swans, Lydia Lunch, Nirvana, Dinosaur Jr., etc.I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about the band and the process of creation of all their albums up to "Experimental Jet Set, Trash, and No Star". This book is also worth reading if you just want to find out a little bit more about, mainstream alternative versus underground punk and / or no wave.My only gripe is that I wish the author would release another edition that goes past Sonic Youth in 1994. This will probably happen in the future though...
