Review

Anyone who doesn't recognise themselves in this forensic, witty, all-too-true social document is either lying, or should get out more. (Andrew Collins )

Every record company should keep a gold-bound copy to remind them who it is that keeps them in business. (Simon Napier-Bell )

5.0 out of 5 stars The obsessive Within, 1 Nov 2006
This review is from: The Lost Tribes Of Pop: Goths, folkies, iPod twits and other musical stereotypes (Paperback)
The Lost Tribes Of Pop is a book that will have you laughing out loud, but also shifting uncomfortably in your seat, for most of us will recognise a little part of themselves somewhere within its pages.
Tom Cox's uncannily accurate portraits of the titular tribes contain such truths that it would be inaccurate to call them stereotypes. They are instead a vivid reminder of how music affects every part of the listeners lives, from the magazines we read, to the clothes we wear, but always with a certain reverence that proclaims that the things that make us different also align us with others.
Whether you are or were a goth, festival goer, hippie or heat magazine reader, all are treated with respect, while at the same time capturing the comedy and pathos within.
As a collection of short tales, (each is no more than a couple of pages) it succeeds in placing you for a moment inside the person behind the obsession, and it is because of this that each tribe is presented as potentially flawed, but very human. And as such this makes facinating reading, and is ideal for your commute to work, or to sit with and identify yourself as you were, or your friends as they are.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, 13 Dec 2006
By 
Steve Edmond "Pop Geek" (Greater London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Lost Tribes Of Pop: Goths, folkies, iPod twits and other musical stereotypes (Paperback)
I have now bought 4 copies of this book. The first I picked up as a gift for a friend, but ended up going out the next day to buy one for myself. This makes a great gift for anyone you know who is even remotely into music. They'll not only laugh, but also recognise themselves (like I did) amoungst the 'Tribes'.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great funny read., 11 Dec 2006
By 
Ringo (York, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lost Tribes Of Pop: Goths, folkies, iPod twits and other musical stereotypes (Paperback)
I had read a few of The Lost Tribes Of Pop in the Observer Music Monthly column and had really enjoyed them. I bought the book as a Christmas present for a friend and ended reading it myself. It's hilarious, Tom Cox is a great writer. I hope I never meet him as I'm sure he would stereotype me into one of his tribes. I wonder which one he is? I highly recommend this book. If you're a fan of music and a good funny read then buy it.
