reading the reviews here is so funny because some readers got bored by the music recs while others got bored by acasters personal stories. for me it was a delightful mix and the narration had an incredible common theme, connecting the musicians lives with his his own. i‘d recommend the audiobook because it feels almost like a routine with some very detailed yapping about music in between (i <3 it)

A book by a comedian that starts from the premise that 2016 is best year for music of all time had no right to be as emotional of a ride as it is. I have discovered so many good artists and albums as a result of this book and I owe James Acaster a drink for that reason.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Suicidal thoughts and Suicide
Minor: Self harm
A lot of the book focuses on what could reasonably be called a mental breakdown Acaster had in 2017. There is nothing graphic, but suicidal ideation is mentioned multiple times
