Crate Digger: An Obsession With Punk Records by Bob Suren (Microcosm) $14.95
Next Next Level: A Story of Rap Friendship and Almost Giving Up by Leon Neyfakh $16.95 – This book is sort of about Milwaukee rapper Juiceboxxx, sort of about the author, alongside meditations on taste, media consumption, and so on.

This book has totally earned the comparisons being made to Chuck Klosterman or Carl Wilson’s Let’s Talk About Love. -LM
