Joe Thompson's book 'Sleevenotes' - mandatory reading for underground rock musicians

"At some point while reading 'Sleevenotes' it becomes clear that it was much more than just a wise-cracking, experimentally punctuated, string of anecdotes about squat gigs in Belgium with improbably named noise rock bands and blocked studio toilets in Camberwell. This book should in fact be regarded as core curriculum reading for those just embarking on the path of rock music today, and is essential nourishment for those who have existential concerns about the point or the viability of doing such a thing in 2019" - the Quietus writes about 'Sleevenotes' by
 Joe Thompson of Hey Colossus fame.
