I read a good chunk of that earlier this year, but couldn't finish it because the school library wanted it back in a week. From what I read, very interesting profiles including the JD one

Bought it mostly cause there was stuff on labels such as Fast and Postcard that I hadn't read before, which was nice. Didn't really care for the mentions of bands such as Spandau Ballet though, so those are the parts I really FFWed through.

Are you both reading all these at the same time??? And I thought I was good at multitasking!!!

(multitasking like shitting and shaving; peeing and taking a shower; etc)
