Remember Rob, John Cusak's character in High Fidelity? This book was made for him and those of us like him who love to make lists about our favorite music. Some of my fave lists from this book:* List the Top 20 albums You'd Take If You Were Leaving Earth (like Tower's Desert Island Discs)* List the Songs To Play at Your Funeral* List the Best Album Covers Ever Created* List your Break-Up Mix Tape SongsOne of the funny lists is "List The Songs That Drive You Crazy" which is personally funny because the illustration is "We're An American Band" by Grand Funk Railroad, which is a song that REALLY drives me crazy.The illustrations by Michael Gillette are excellent. They have a great color palette and capture the list really well. I have been completing my list on my own, but I could see this being something that friends do collaboratively. Perhaps at a party of music fanatics. Music Listography would make a great gift for the music fan that you don't feel comfortable buying a CD for. It would also be a great companion to an iTunes gift card.
THIS IS A WONDERFUL BOOK. BEING A SCRAPBOOKER, I LIKE ANYTHING THAT RELATES TO MY LIFE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS BOOK IS SO EASY FOR ME BECAUSE, I OWN SO MUCH MUSIC. I HAVE AT LEAST 1,500 VINYL ALBUMS AND 300 45'S THAT I BEGAN BUYING SINCE I WAS 12 YEARS OF AGE, AND MY PARENTS WOULD GIVE ME MY THREE DOLLAR ALLOWANCE EVERY WEEK. I'M ALWAYS LISTENING TO MUSIC. AT LAST COUNT, I OWN 602 CDS. WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY POINT. I HAD NO IDEA THAT I WOULD REMEMBER SO MUCH MUSIC WHEN I OPENED UP THIS BOOK TO BEGIN WRITING. EACH PAGE HAS TWENTY LINES FOR YOU TO LIST THE MUSIC OR ARTISTS PERTAINING TO THE QUESTION. IT ASK YOU TO LIST THINGS LIKE "LIST TWENTY ALBUMS YOU WOULD BRING IF YOU WERE LEAVING THE PLANET ON A SPACESHIP" OR "LIST MUSIC THAT YOUR PARENTS LISTENED TO WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD". THIS BOOK IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! IT HAS ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY PAGES OF SOMETHING TO LIST ABOUT MUSIC. I WAS IN MY GLORY WHEN I WAS ASKED TO LIST MY FAVORITE MUSIC FROM THE 60'S, 70'S. 80'S AND 90'S, KNOWING THAT IF I WAS ASKED TO LIST MUSIC FROM THE 40'S OR 50'S (I WAS BORN IN 1956) I COULD DO SO. LIST MY FAVORITE CONCERTS THAT I HAVE ATTENED. LIST WHO I WOULD LIKE TO BE A BACKUP SINGER OR DANCER FOR---WHAT A LIST!!! THIS BOOK MAKES YOU REMEMBER MUSIC FROM EVERY PERIOD OF YOUR LIFE. WHAT SONGS WERE YOU LISTENING TO WHEN YOUR HEART WAS BROKEN THE FIRST TIME. LIST MOMENTS IN MUSIC YOU WILL NEVER FORGET. I ENJOY FILLING OUT EACH PAGE IN MY SPARE TIME. ORDER THIS BOOK AND YOU WILL REMEMBER EVERYTHING; ARTISTS, MUSICALS, CONCERTS, MUSIC BIOPICS AND DOCUMENTARIES,MUSIC VIDEOS, THEME MUSIC IN FILMS, MUSIC YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE SERENADED BY, ETC. LIKE I SAID, THIS BOOK IS AWESOME!!!
I love this item. I have repurchased it several times & given them out as gifts, & its always a hit. The lists & art work are creative & amusing. Great for any music lover!
This is a great book! I bought a copy for my teenager who loves music. When I looked at it I started coming up with my own lists in my head so I ordered a copy for myself and my husband too. It brings back such wonderful (and some not so wonderful, but still worth remembering) memories. I love the Listography series and this is my favorite to date.
Anyone who loves music will have a lot of fun with this journal. It will be difficult to come up with a select few favorites of some categories, but that is part of the fun. Between my husband and I, we spent hours one evening recollecting favorite songs, memories, films and more just because of this thought-provoking music journal. It's nothing serious, but it's fun and interesting. A GREAT gift for a music lover you know. More importantly it would make a great keepsake to pass down to your children or grandchildren. There are many categories, sure to please most. The cover is substantial as are the pages. They will not tear or wear down easily. The book is filled with fun illustrations for each category. I'm going to purchase more for gift-giving.
This book is a must have for the creative, eclectic, mod, artsy, rockstar in your life. I bought this as a gift for someone and they enjoyed it. The book is bigger than I thought it would be but its not bulky or anything. If anything, I wish I had one since it asks questions like 'what were you favorite music moments in movies?' ' what were your favorite bands in high school?' 'What concerts and festivals have you attended...'The list is endless with a plethora of interesting questions all towards music. It's a great gift mates, check it out.
This Listography is so awesome. I bought it as a birthday gift for a friend and they loved it. Only issue I had was that I had to re-order it 3 times because the journal would arrive with a bent corner. But other than that, it's a cool journal and it's great for gift giving.
I love music and I love making lists so this was right up my alley. My only complaint is there should have been more album oriented lists. The only one is "20 Favorite Albums".They had favorite songs of the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. I would have liked to see album lists for each decade instead. It's too hard to narrow down songs - I love thousands of them.There is space in the back for you to add your own lists so I guess you can just do it there.Great gift for a music lover! I would love to see them make a "Movies Listography" book now...
