Book Reviews of Staring at Sound: The True Story of Oklahoma's Fabulous Flaming Lips

Book Review: Essential
Summary: 5 Stars

In addition to chronicling the long and winding history of the Lips, Jim DeRo also captures the band's magic and the deep philosophy of Wayne Coyne. I had big expectations when I started this book and it lived up to them and more.

Highly recommended for anyone interested in the Lips, d.i.y. touring, indie rock, the alternative boom or an interesting biography well told.
