Just showed up in my Audible queue
Let's Go (So We Can Get Back)Written by Jeff Tweedy
Narrated by Jeff Tweedy
I love when the author reads the book!
Possibly final blab about the BB book…I'm going to say it now…best audio book EVER
…Kate Schellenbach's chapter (and read by her) is great and I didn't realize how big a dick Rick Rubin was
Spike Jonze (read by him)chapter in the audio book is also hysterical as I assume in the real book most of that chapter is just photos he took, but in the audio book he describes the photos and his delivery is on point
My only gripe with this audio book is they chose all these comedians like Tim Meadows, Ben Stiller, John C Riley and Mya Rudolf…all people I love, but don't really see the logic in having them read…I mean the ones by Elvis, Jarvis and other musicians are great, but I don't feel it when Chloe Sevgnie or John Stewart reads a chapter as much as when the actual LL Cool J tells tales of 80s NYC
There must have been thousands of hours of Adam Yauch doing interviews that were recorded or for magazines, not sure why they couldn't have incorporated more chapters in his voice? I know it wasn't written for the book, but the book is just a bunch of individual and unconnected stories anyways. I have believe there are a bunch of documents where some one asked him 'how's you meed Ad-Rock" or "what were you thinking after Paul's B bombed" "what was it like hanging with the Dali Lama"
Not a chapter goes by where they don't acknowledge how important he was with everything they did and accomplished. Personally, I never knew how important he was in the scheme of things and his lack of contribution to this is a giant void.
Also, I'm determined to take the time to create a spotify mix of all the bands/songs that have been name dropped in this book easily over 1000
at numerous times the narrator goes "drop what you doing right now ans listen to XX, it will blow your mind"
Although, I'm sure some music nerd has already done this…
edit..I was right…a few (none complete tho) are out there

Just found this guys too (dave Blevins on spotify)
Playlists from the Book (Spotify & Youtube)Oh man, I’ve been working on these playlists since the day the book came out, should just looked here but here’s what I’ve come up with trying to decipher the writing on Adrock’s mixtapes….I subbed songs I couldn’t find on Spotify. I’ve also entered Mike & Adams songs into an Excel database.
Adrock’s mix I’m assuming is “Go New York Go!” With John Starks on the cover, subbed in songs that weren’t available:
