What a show! Thanks for watching! Jex and I had a blast going through a selection of my favourite rock (and a couple other) books. What a variety of books too! Many genres of music, and a few outside the musical box. Jex’s books are currently in storage, so what we did instead was watch a Youtube video from his channel CineBrosSupreme. In 2016, Jex went through his music book collection, and we screened that and commented on it as well. (Jex has not aged since 2016, and a few viewers mentioned this!)
Tim Durling’s new 2nd edition of Unspooled is available now at Amazon.
It was amazing to me how many of these authors I know personally. I am such a lucky guy.
My pick for Book You Need Immediately: Frank Zappa’s Real Frank Zappa Book.
Off the top of the show, we unboxed two classic 80s metal/hard rock albums. We also took a question from Tim, to Jex.

Sarah has all of Neil Peart’s books and highly recommends them. I really should read them at some point.

Masked Rider definitely! Ghost Rider if you can handle the omnipresent grief. Which, frankly, at this point of my life, I don’t think I will ever ready again, as good as it is.
