We dig music

Needless to say, we dig music. With two rock stars in the house (check out Matt's band Think About Life and Rory's band Shapes & Sizes), a Pitchfork-addicted music fanatic at the office, in-store shows and regular customers from many local bands, we were bound to have a great selection of books about music and musicmakers.

Among the exciting new releases that would make great summer reads, there's Girls Like Us, a biography of singer-songwriters Carole King, Joni Mitchell and Carly Simon...

Black Postcards: A Rock & Roll Romance by Dean Wareham of Galaxie 500 and Luna...


...and A Freewheelin' Time: A Memoir of Greenwich Village in the Sixties by one-time Bob Dylan muse Suze Rotolo.


Then, there's the 33 1/3 series, little books about classic albums that make excellent gifts...

The Montreal issue of Fingered DVD zine (about the local noise scene), which was launched at the store last March...



Kim Gordon's Chronicles...



Actual Air, free-verse poetry by The Silver Jews' David Berman...



...and too many more to list them all. You'll have to come see for yourself!
