Recenzii
"...a collection of memorable stories from this microscopic jewel, "Flying Saucers Rock N' Roll....I'll vouch, Jake Austen doesn't (expletive) around." Liz Mason quoted in the Chicago Tribune
"Jake Austen has the brains of a world-class scholar driven to illuminate previously obscure but vital arcana, the soul of an historian eager to bring the past roaring back to life, and the heart of a furious but funny rock n roll hell-raiser. As the majordomo of Roctober, fronting a posse of like-minded and equally passionate fellow travellers, he has picked up the mantle of that first-generation rock-critic giant Nick Tosches and at long last given us his answer to Unsung Heroes of Rock n Roll. Yes, Flying Saucers Rock n Roll really is a book worthy of being mentioned in that company, and its a must for any serious rock readers bookshelf." Jim DeRogatis, critic, author, educator and co-host of Sound Opinions, the worlds only rock n roll talk show
"With an awe-inspiringly integrated and thoroughly unassuming knowledge of all the nooks, crannies and hidden corners of American popular culture, theres no more appropriate cheerleader for musical humanity than Jake Austen, a polymath force of nature whos been amazing me for twenty years. If any of the rest of us had just a hundredth of the energy, enthusiasm and big-heartedness that Jake seems to show every project he undertakes, the world would be a much better place--and a lot more fun." Chris Ware cartoonist and author of Jimmy Corrigan - The Smartest Kid on Earth
"Flying Saucers Rock N Roll contains ten fascinating, bittersweet and often very funny interviews with unjustly obscure rock n soul eccentrics that will delight fans of Nick Tosches Unsung Heroes Of Rock And Roll. Both books share a love for the slow-to-die dreams of a handful of hardcore survivors of one of the most unforgiving industries in the modern world, the music industry." Marc Campbell, DangerousMinds.net
"Serving as both a brief history of Roctober and an anthology, this collection of interviews will be welcome by fans of the zine and will appeal to serious rock n roll readers. Those who enjoyed Richie Unterbergers Urban Spacemen and Wayfaring Strangers: Overlooked Innovators and Eccentric Visionaries of 60s Rock will also appreciate this book." Joshua Finnell, Library Journal
"One of the most impressive elements of these profiles, other than the sheer detail, is the loving patience with which these artists are examined, analyzed and, yes, judged. This may be a celebration of the marginal and obscure, but its not a simple geek-out for the sake of the geek-out. Austen and his fellow writers ask tough questions and, at times, point out the reasons why the cult figure (or the not-quite-cult-figure) has just never attracted a large following."
