Dead on arrival, the Nineties revival

I’m pondering something with flashbacks to the nineties so, as well as digging out all my old photos, I should read a few books about the music and culture of the decade.

24 Hour Party People is obligatory of course, and I should finally get round to watching the film.

Manchester, England.

Freaky Dancing: Me and the Mondays. If only to see if Bez can string together a coherent sentence on paper.

Hallelujah!: The extraordinary story of Shaun Ryder and Happy Mondays.

The Stone Roses and the ressurection of British Pop.

Goodnight Jim Bob: On the road with Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine.

The Eight Legged Atomic Dustbin Will Eat Itself.
