Fifteen years after Ondi Timoner’s film Dig! shot The Brian Jonestown Massacre to international fame comes the first ever book on the controversial band and their leader, Anton Newcombe, who together have been at the forefront of the resurgence of psychedelic rock in recent decades — and become one of the most infamous and controversial bands around in the process.
Drawing on years of extensive research and personal interviews with over 125 people connected to the band — including former and current members Joel Gion, Matt Hollywood, Jeff Davies, Rick Maymi, and Frankie Emerson, as well as The Dandy Warhols, Miranda Lee Richards, Dave Deresinski, and Ondi Timoner — Keep Music Evil: The Brian Jonestown Massacre Story digs a little deeper into the history of the band and the making of the film.
Written as a personal narrative that evokes the New Journalism of Tom Wolfe and Hunter S. Thompson, Keep Music Evil sets the record straight, once and for all, providing close insights into the band’s origins in early 1990s San Francisco, their record-making process, and the full, unexpurgated tale of Dig! Featuring rare, candid photographs of the band from throughout their career, this is the first comprehensive study of one of modern rock ’n’ roll’s most enduring sagas.

I enjoy when the author reads their own book and usually prefer it. Here, the reading is totally rushed/chopped together as another review states. There are also many cases of repeat-takes of words and phrases. He'll start a sentence and then a few words into it, start the sentence again from the top. These occurrences should have been edited-out. However, the biggest issue is really just the speed; it sounds like it's being played at 2x when it's just playing at normal speed. The sound quality isn't great either — use a better microphone, record in a better environment. These changes would make the book soar. I understand he may have a limited budget here, I get it, but there's no point in making an audiobook version if it turns out so shabby. Please, hire a narrator and a studio and have the book re-recorded, proofed and repaired. I'd probably spend another credit just to get that version, because it's a slog getting through this one due to the poor production quality. His heart is in the right place. I wish he'd just do it right, which would make for an excellent trip all around.
Great content - poor production/performance
