Perfect for you if...

You love Dave Barry's absurdist humor and want a book that's genuinely funny on nearly every page.
You have strong opinions about music and enjoy reading other people's passionate complaints about terrible songs.
You appreciate crowd-sourced comedy and the idea that regular readers can be just as witty as the writer.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for serious music criticism or a thoughtful history of pop music.
You don't find meanness toward artists funny, even in jest.
You prefer books with a clear narrative arc rather than a collection of jokes and observations strung together.
