Book list

8-18-09 Adding more books to my list:

*With a lil description from djhistory.com

How to DJ (Properly): The Art and Science of Playing Records – Frank Broughton & Bill Brewster, 2005
Best-selling DJing bible, fat like a car manual with pictures and diagrams, taking you from first day at school to beat-juggling and stadiums. Practical, no-bullshit advice with plenty of laughs. Bill and Frank instill a healthy attitude in the young and/or jaded, putting a love of music and personal taste above all. And who could miss ‘How to get into a helicopter without looking foolish’?

This Is Your Brain on Music: Understanding a Human Obsession – Daniel J. Levitin
Explain the unspeakable magic when rhythms enter a human. How can vibrating air + flesh = emotions? Did music come before language? Coldplay: why? Exciting questions with astonishing answers. And Levitin, a neuroscientist rock producer, is the man to give you them. But his writing travels like treacle, his explanations meander endlessly. Let down, you lose interest and go put some music on.
