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, \u003cem\u003eHere My\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eDear\u003c\/em\u003e; The Ramones' \u003cem\u003eSubterranean Jungle\u003c\/em\u003e), 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54262381805912,"sku":"9780415969987","price":47.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415969987_b1306890-65e7-4b92-a34f-5d462cc000d6.jpg?v=1769606138","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/lost-in-the-grooves-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
