Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground 1981-1991

75 reviews
Michael Azerrad

Back Bay Books, 2002

One of the Best Books about music
I had a guy at Barnes and Noble clue me into this book. One of the best books about the underground/alternative/whatever music from the late `70 up til grunge hit the airwaves. Sure, there's a lot of bands that could've been in there and a few I could argue that shouldn't; but that ought not to matter. There's some great biographies of bands that I've always wanted a relative outsider to tackle, ...

Atria, 2000

Great Nursing History
If you're interested in nursing or military history, this book is a real delight! The pictures add to the narratives and the reader can get a feel for what these women endured. These nurses were ultra-dedicated to each other, their patients, and their country. I recommend this book highly.

A GREAT BUY!
For all the information here, I can't believe this book didn't cost twice as much! Reviews, radio listings, a glossary of terms, etc. Passport to World Band Radio, 2008 really expanded my radio experience by opening my eyes up and tuning my ears into what all else is out there!

Simon & Schuster, 2001

Bravery and Determination was Unsurpassed
One of those books; I can't seem to put down. I'm thankful I have watched the movie, Band of Brothers, for I could "picture" everything that was happening though all these pages. This Regiment was truly remarkably determined and proud to be a participant in this long relentless war. How do you understand anything, unless you were there and have gone through all the circumstances? There are so ...

Band Fags!

Frank Anthony Polito

Kensington, 2008

Band Fags of the world unite!
Hilarious and angst-ridden, "Band Fags" is a wonderful trip down memory lane for those of us who came of age in the eighties, sort of a gay version of that fantastic television show Freaks and Geeks - The Complete Series. Especially if you came out and enjoyed / endured high school band - and the stigma that goes along with it, you'll love this. Am I, or am I not? All the intense ...

And the Band Played On
I have watched this DVD more times than I can count. Now am reading the book, makes you really think about. What else have we been persuaded to look the other way about? There seems to be an awful lot of cover ups that go on in our government, CDC and the drug industry. E Teal

Pamela Des Barres

Chicago Review Press, 2005

Entertaining, fun, and informative!!
I got this book for Christmas from my mother, who knows that I have a great love for classic rock and roll. I couldn't wait to read it, and it did not disappoint in the least. This book wasn't a tell all, but a look into what it was like to be part of the "scene". There were parts I would have liked to have heard a little more about...she seems to skim over being on the road with a simple, ...

Chronicle Books, 2008

More than a just a book of Band logos
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2QDV3T8O0ZZGA This book has a lot more than just logos it's in some ways a historical reference. It brought me back to the days of drawing Van Halen logos on my desk at school. It spans so many generations and while there's a billion logos to comb through the design was refreshingly clean and simple. So while having a cleanly and intuitively laid ...

Excellent Read
This is an enjoyable, entertaining and inspirational account of Buck Compton's life! Buck is extremely honest, candid and humble in this account of his accomplishments and set backs! I wish I could have read this book when I was younger. It's a shining example of what a guy can do with hard work, a good attitude and a friendly demeanor. Very interesting to read about the war and E. Company from ...

response to April 6 review by Patricia
I was wondering how you could say the women in this book don't show "heroic temperament"? Do you know what a hero is? Sorry, but John Wayne characters don't exist in real life. Heroes are these women ... the first black female combat pilot in the marines, who strikes a target to save several of our ground troops; women out searching Iraqi women and children who suddenly find themselves in a ...

Donna LaChance Menke

Sterling, 2006

Good Book for Beginners
This is a good book, but not what I would call ultimate. It has nice pictures and good projects. I would also recommend Tom Crabbs' book, "Making Wood Boxes With a Band Saw". Together, these 2 books will have you well on your way to making excellent bandsawn boxes. Just add a little imagination and you will have gift ideas for life.

It's easy to make cars
Reviewed by Matthew Feliciano (age 8) for Reader Views (6/08) "Amazing Rubber Band Cars" is a really amazing book. It tells all about how to make cars from rubber bands, cardboard and other simple supplies. I am building one of these cars right now and the instructions are very easy-to-follow. Each car in the book is a little harder than the one before it. If you start with the first car, ...
