Review

Before we get into this review, I have to say that there are a number of things that you’re going to get out of Andrew Marx and Dara Shifrer’s book, “What Do You Say to the DJ?”, and you need to know about them going in. You’re going to get a lot of information about indy rock bands, you’re going to become intimately familiar with people on an borderline uncomfortable level, and you’re going to get e-mails. Lots and lots of e-mails. This is part of its quirky charm, that it’s all taken from actual on-line correspondence from its two authors. Much of it is hysterically funny, but on a much broader spectrum it becomes a lot to take in. In order to illustrate my point and to give you an idea of what “DJ” is all about, I’ve taken the liberty of constructing the remainder of this review in the form of an electronic mail reply to its authors.

I loved reading “What Do You Say to the DJ?” but I would recommend that prospective readers begin with the author interviews at the back of the book first in order to get an idea of the author’s stylized approach. Once you’re on board for the ride, like any good rock song, it’s easy to get lost in.
