Sites like rateyourmusic.com (and among many others) are a better choice in gauging subject interests of this type, these days, but the truth seems that both contemporary music as well as fiction from the American pop-cultural landscape seems to fluidly never find itself within a "popularity vacuum, whether or not the American reading public continues to stretch its collective cultural imagination through both the collective, continual, and cognizant act of reading itself, regardless of devices or formatting used in the symbiosis of storytelling between both reader and writer, both today and in the future,

[Mark · Rating 3 out of 5]

Full of errors and peculiar judgments and heavily slanted toward a conservative definition of psych. Still a good book to have around (and even better in its "revisited" form from a couple years ago). But the Acid Archives book is more adventurous, better written, and includes many obscure records Joynson missed or found too weird.
