Hang the DJ: An Alternative Book of Music Lists

Hang the DJ is a collection of lists about musical loves and hates, dreams and nightmares.From personal blogs to end-of-year critic polls, Desert Island Discs to playlists, the films of Quentin Tarantino to the books of Nick Hornby, music fans have always liked to compile and to indulge, to collect, hoard and obsess. Mixing anecdote, humour, reference and quality anorak behaviour, Hang the DJ is the literary equivalent of a great pub jukebox - inspiring, provocative and irresistible - and the perfect gift for all music lovers.Includes strange cover versions, smutty Dylan songs, noir classics, heartbreakers, teen movie anthems, great short-story songs, Japanese punk, and classic power ballads.
