A problem with music books is that they tend to be written by fans. This Kraftwerk biography is probably pretty good if you’re into the music. I’m not really, so I’m not entirely clear why Iread the whole thing. Probably just interest in their processes. Anyway, I wonder what a music bio written by a non-fan would look like. Probably not a commercially good idea, but it would be refreshing to have passages explaining why a particular album wasn’t very good or why the guitar sound so crap. If anyone wants to commission a book from me about all the things wrong with the Manic Street Preachers, then they should get in touch. I reckon I could bash that out in a couple of months.
