Can you read? Do you like music? Well, then, this episode is for you, as Andrew and Sam show off that their basic education still goes to good use in the form of showing off that they can read books. Looks like we've got some readers here, as Bill Hicks said. What do you want to read for?
This episode, we discuss our favourite music biography-orientated books. We talk about whether they've changed our relationship to the music, and some of what makes and breaks these books. Andrew also has a new introduction for the podcast, which in itself may need an introduction.
