anyone read Words and Music by Paul Morley?
Its a great story of dance music infiltrating mainstream culture - but then also how the mashup industry came into being.
Its mainly historical, but is loosley based around a Kylie video! Its very clever.
It can be a difficult read at times, as there are lots of lists included.
If you are an old fart - and were clubbing, gigging in the late 90's it is a must read.
Its also the book that was mashed with DJ Foods - Raiding the 21st Century mix -
the book - in its entirety (it appears) is here: http://tinyurl.com/c4a3a3
the insane tracklist for the mash mix - is here:
