Reader Reviews:
excellent book by an excellent writer (2/2 people found this helpful)
fantastic diary of sonic youth's early days by lee ranaldo, with lots of poetry and lyrics too. leah singer's photography is great too.
notorious rockin' lee dismounts with deadly guile, oncemore! (1/6 people found this helpful)
fans of lee and fans of leah alike will always remember those rocket screaming, headcase creaming, psycho reaming, and convulsion dreaming days of volcanic glory. hey, don't we all? even still, lee's acounts easily rile old ghosts thought long dead and trampled on. go lee! (goalie! heh-heh.)
so anyway. any fan of lee, leah, or SONIC YOUTH will enjoy this book gluttonously. lee's writing style is jacked up, true, but usually in the best way. the very pages come to life and strangle and intimidate the reader with ruthless efficiency, rendering them stunned and confused and feeling momentarily adrift in their surroundings. a truly thrilling congregation of words and pictures.
a minor drawback would be the book's tendency to cause temporary consentration disruptions, and temporary short-term memory loss. that, and it's super harsh.
in closing i highly recommend this literature. it, frankly, is perfect.
FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
