Book Review: a sweet little CD shopping companion.
Summary: 5 Stars
I take this book with me everywhere. It fits inside my purse and I love whipping it out when I'm in music stores so I don't have to deal with inept salespeople who think I'm making up bands names just because they have never heard of them. This book gives me the confidence and the information to be my own snotty music store clerk. Ari's book is amazing because he seems to get why people like certain bands and this directly plays into the kinds of other bands he suggests. People often suggest Bowie and Roxy Music like they are pork-n-beans but if you're into Bowie's blue eyed soul period and someone suggested RM, you might be like, "What???". I love his suggestions and his book has gotten me into a lot of bands that I wouldn't have even thought of without his imput. He is excellent for taking bands you might be on the fence about and reframing them. Radiohead is my favorite example. I noticed they were listed under the Pink Floyd heading and immediately got several of the CDs which I totally love. Before I lumped their music with awful hipsters who don't know how to dance and don't have very good taste.
It's a great book and anyone who loves music should have it.
