So begins the onslaught that is the Christmas shopping season! Here are a few suggested books that may be the perfect gift for that music fan on your list, or may, at least, help get your creative juices flowing and allow you to come up with something great to give. Let's get it started...

World In My Eyes: The Autobiography
by Richard Blade

Richard Blade has done it all - club DJ in all the old European hotspots, Los Angeles morning drive radio host, TV star and tireless fan, friend and 80's music historian.

In this book he speaks candidly about all of this as well as the many musicians/celebrities he has befriended or loved throughout the years.

As the Amazon preview text says, "This is a no-holds-barred look at life, sex, and death, set to a pulsing backbeat of music. For the first time, Richard Blade shares his extraordinary story, allowing us to see the world through his eyes." Sounds intriguing!

Depeche Mode: Monument Hardcover
by Dennis Burmeister and Sascha Lange

The ultimate Depeche Mode reference, presented in the form of a beautiful coffee table type book!

Contains detailed information about all of the band's musical efforts, concert posters, artwork and over 1,000 photos, many never before seen.

The book also examines the extremely dedicated and well-defined fan culture and offers candid interviews with the friends, producers, tour companions, radio hosts and much more! 420 amazing pages!

Cured: The Tale of Two Imaginary Boys Paperback
By Lol Tolhurst

Written by one of the founding members of The Cure, this memoir takes you back to the very beginning of this ageless and prolific band. The book offers intriguing details about the relationship between LOL and Robert Smith, and the challenges the band faced as they plied their trade, in a small English town.

Tolhurst also documents evolution of the bands' music, contributions to the Goth movement and his many personal struggles that destroyed his involvement with the band and almost himself.

Amazon Prime says of the book - "Intensely lyrical and evocative, gripping and unforgettable, this is the definitive story of a singular band whose legacy endures many decades hence, told from the point of view of a participant and eyewitness who was there when it happened--and even before it all began."

Set the Boy Free: The Autobiography Paperback
By Johnny Marr

A compelling memoir by the cofounder and eletrifying guitarist from the legendary band The Smiths. Marr recalls his early years in Manchester, forming the band with Morrissey and the five year tumultous roller coaster ride that would be the history of that important musical group.

Marr also offers a compelling accounting of the many other musical icons he has worked with throughout the years, after his involvement in The Smiths ended.
