Do you remember these great pop stars and their hits? Deerhoof's
The Man, The King, The Girl Butch Hancock's West Texas Waltzes and
Dust Blown Tractor Tunes, Swamp Dogg's Cuffed, Collared and Tagged,
Michael Head's TheMagical World Of The Strands, John Trubee's
TheCommunists Are Coming to Kill Us, John Phillips's WolfKing of
L.A., and Michel Magne's Moshe MouseCrucifiction?You will when you
read Lost in theGrooves, a fascinating guide to the back alleys off
the pop music superhighway. Pop music history is full of
little-known musicians, whose work stands defiantly alone, too
quirky, distinctive, or demented to appeal to a mass audience. This
book explores the nooks and crannies of the pop music world,
unearthing lost gems from should-have-been major artists (Sugarpie
DeSanto, Judee Sill), revisiting lesser known works by established
icons (Marvin Gaye's post-divorce kissoff album, Here MyDear; The
Ramones' Subterranean Jungle), and spotlighting musicians who
simply don't fit into neat categories (k. mccarty, Exuma). The
book's encyclopedic alphabetical structure throws off strange
sparks as disparate genres and eras rub against each other:
folk-psych iconoclasts face louche pop crooners; outsider artists
set their odd masterpieces down next to obscurities from the stars;
lo-fi garage rock cuddles up with the French avant-garde; and roots
rock weirdoes trip over bubblegum. This book will delight any
jukebox junkie or pop culture fan.
