“The stories behind the music can be as inspiring as the music itself…

it’s a shame it’s only an annual.”—Relix
“In all it’s quite a celebration of the vast enterprise known as music.”—Signal to Noise
“Our favorite year-end read.”—Cleveland Scene
“Terrorism, sexual misconduct, and wholesome nostalgia, treated with a discernible backbeat and sprightly writing make for an excellent anthology.” ––Booklist
“the book finally reflects the current state of not just music journalism but music listening… These essays encapsulate a chilly, malefic year for music indeed.” —The Stranger
