Hey, /mu/ here. I'm wondering what the best books by musicians

Have you read The Secret Diary of Curt Kobain?

>>8871885
No, I can't say I have. Would you recommend it?

>>8871893
Well, yes, but first, someone'll have to write it

People seem to like Morrissey's autobiography a whole lot. I read it and I wasn't very impressed, sorta masturbatory. David Byrne's How Music Works is worth reading if you're a Talking Heads fan, imo.

I love when unfunny people think they're funny

He would only let Penguin publish it under their Classic's label. He's a fraud

Autobiography of Miles Davis was pretty good.

>>8872870
I found it funny

Leonard Cohen's Beautiful Losers is legitimately one of the great PoMo works

i've been meaning to read And the Ass Saw the Angel by Cave. also would like to read Dylan's Tarantula some day.

Death of Bunny Munro was better IMO. Did enjoy And The Ass.. though.

His first one came out in 2014, Wolf in White Van, good read.

Seconding Beautiful Losers, too.

Pic related seems interesting but it's for charity and the select few hardbacks are expensive.

>musicians writing short kids stories.

Seconding The Wolf in White Van

Also Patti Smith's Just Kids is a nice, comfy read if you're into 70s NY at all. I tried reading her second book but just couldn't get into it.
