housedog Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 I have 4 books here I want to read. They are Oral History of Hip Hop's First decade yes yes yallGeneration OF EcstasyDisco BloodBathand Rave Culture " An Insider's overviewDid anyone ever read any of them? I think I am going to start with Disco BloodBath. The one I am most excited to read. Also did any one ever read "Last Night a DJ Save My Life?" It is a book about the history of Djing, it starts in the early 1900 thru the early 90's I think REALLY REALLY good book, a must read, in my book.

brickhouse Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 I haven't read those, but a really good book on rave culture is Energy Flash by Simon Reynolds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheendawg Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Damn, what the hell is Disco Bloodbath about? That Angel guy? I saw a documentary on that last year sometime.Yes, Yes Y'all is a good book, so is Back In The Days. My friend Kevin Powell also wrote a book with Ernie Paniciolli called Who Shot Ya? An Illustrated History of Hip-Hop.I'll be sure to look Disco Bloodbath up on Amazon, you guys do the same with the others I mentioned!I also recommend David Sedaris to ANYONE....Naked is the shit, and so is Me Talk Pretty One Day.Needful Things is also one of my favorites, (Stephen King), a zillion times better than the movie.One of my favorite quotes is, "Never judge a book by its movie."

dolik Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Disco Bloodbath is a very good read, James St. James can make the most fucked up stuff seem light and hilarious....Check out Ecstasy Club...about a group of squatters starting up their own club at a warehouse in England...has a weirddd ending tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
