Audiobook: Beastie Boys Book

By Mike Diamond and Adam Horovitz

I rarely put my audiobooks on here but I have to mention this one because it is PHENOMENAL. I say this as a person who is not particularly a Beastie Boys fan and also doesn't love the oral history style of memoir. (I call it "lazy.") But I was a huge music fan at the time they were coming up and love hearing details about the music scene during this time. Their story-telling is so charming, the audiobook has so many cool narrators: Exene, Kim Gordon, Jeff Tweedy, Rosie Perez, John C. Reilly. They are so likeable and it's a great story. Makes you wish it was the early 80s again and you were starting a band.
