Perfect Sound Whatever by James Acaster
The brand new memoir from James Acaster: cult comedian, bestselling author of Classic Scrapes, undercover cop, receiver of cabbages.
Immensely comforting - a witty and wise account of the rejuvenating effect of opening yourself up the the creativity of others* Record Collector *
Loved James Acaster's memoir / epic listicle that posits his theory that 2016 was the best year for music. His dry wit I expected, but was impressed by the real life stories of so many musicians the world over. Paints a striking picture of what it means to be a modern musician. * Edgar Wright *
honest, unaffected, poignant - and, yes, entertaining * Chortle *
James is a phenomenally talented comedian and his music taste is second only to mine. * Romesh Ranganathan *
If, as the pundits say, comedy is like jazz then I'm against it. I didn't drill power chords and feedback techniques just to go fannying about looking for the melody. James Acaster, though, is a bit of an outlier. He's a music wonk with a sense of the ridiculous and his controversial theory that 2016 was the greatest year for music ever is off by a mere five decades. Interesting take, though. * David St. Hubbins, Spinal Tap *
