Beastie Boys Book
A series of anecdotes and tales of being a Beastie Boy from the two surviving members. Well, the two surviving members of the trio that are the best known Beastie Boys. The others who fell by the wayside are documented in what seems like an honest and reflective manner. This isn't a definitive "and then we played London" biography of the band but dips into their lives and records giving a really good flavour of what makes them tick, the differences between them and how they made records. The chapters are written by one or the other often with the other putting in side notes to contradict what's written. It also has input from others such as their sacked female drummer all of which gives and insight into the band. It's a great read. I thought it would be a great book to dip into especially as it isn't strictly chronological and has loads of great photos but it was so compelling I couldn't put it down. Now I've finished it. Damn!
