How to rate this?

It’s a five star book for Luke Haines fans, not sure how anyone else would react to it.

I think he’s a genius with a small g, an outsider artist and musician who has distilled his view of freak/and non-freak cultural touchstones into this glorious and erratic part-memoir/guide to righteous rock and roll. Prince is worthless, the Go-Betweens are godlike, Billie Eilish will save us all yet.

Hard to define his combination of apparently unshakable ego salted heavily with amusement at it his own failings and inconsistencies.

Similar in tone to his two excellent previous volumes Bad Vibes: Britpop -My Part in its Downfall, and Post Everything.

A nonconformist hoot.
