Few things tell us more about ourselves than the music we listen to, a fact that Tom Cox has demonstrated brilliantly in his acclaimed Observer column, The Lost Tribes of Pop. Extended from that column, Cox's beautifully illustrated book presents a unique and hilarious vision of the current pop climate, via the people who really make it what it is: the fans. From Dave, the Old School Goth, and Charlie, the iPod Twit, to Nancy, the Rave Mom, and Margot, the First-time Gigger, Lost Tribes is an endlessly entertaining and curious mix of social stereotypes, in all their flawed, obsessive, identity-searching glory. Some are idiotic. There are plenty of books about people behind the music. The Lost Tribes of Pop is different: it's a book about the people in front of it. It's the work of a major writing talent, and a must-have for any music fan. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Whilst I have to say I didn't find this book laugh out loud funny, as an ardent music fan there were definitely moments where I winced with recognition as I saw elements of my own lifestyle being parodied.
I wouldn't align myself with any one of the profiles contained within, but then one probably ought to worry about oneself a little bit if one is exactly like any of these pen portraits. The profiles of those with wilder pasts such as Rave Mom certainly struck a chord, and I've met plenty of Audiophiles, iPod Twits and Old School Goths on my journey through life. I guess the closest is The Indie Kid, only about 20 years older.
Very entertaining and probable most suitable for if you need a book ideal for when you only have an odd few minutes here and there to read. ( )
