I’m a huge Eric Clapton fan so I was excited to review Cream: The World’s First Supergroup by Dave Thompson for PopMatters. This is a great historical look at one of rock music’s most influential bands. Check out the review here.
I wrote a feature on Chuck Palahniuk’s Haunted for PopMatters. I’m a huge Chuck fan. One of my mentors in grad school blurbed the hardback, first edition of Fight Club so I got turned on to him early, way before the movie and all the subsequent sucess. But I wasn’t thrilled with Haunted. No doubt,…
I love Nelson George’s social commentary. But I’m afraid I was a little disappointed in his newest novel The Accidental Hunter when I reviewed it for PopMatters. The language just didn’t work. Anyway, check out the review here.
Last fall, we reviewed So What! The Good, the Mad, and the Ugly by Steffan Chirazi for Popmatters. This comprehensive book about Metallica is well-produced and extremly in-depth. A great read for devotees, but may be a bit exhausting for casual fans. Check out the entire review here.
