45
"[F]rom the outer edges of pop" comes 45, a hilarious,  self-scrutinizing memoir of sorts by member of British pop-band  KLF Bill Drummond (coauthor of Bad Wisdom), writing in his 45th  year. Fueled by a blurry but purposeful "love of pop's  backwater" (also defined as "unsuccessful... [d]eluded... cheap  and nasty and mistaken" pop music), he travels several times to  Helsinki sometimes with his kids, often with heavy metal rocker  Mark Manning, aka Zodiac Mindwarp to record such bands on the  label he owns. Mainly, Drummond proffers what every pop-music  intellectual and intellectual fan of pop music dreams of a  jaded, devotional, well-wrought tribute to and mockery of his  ridiculous and glorious art.
