"Essential reading about the fringes of popular music." -- Booklist "[Chusid] possesses a knowledge of music culture that most contemporary rock critics think they have. Guaranteed: this book will take readers to record stores searching for Chusid's list of musical miscreants." -- Library Journal "A significant achievement." -- Notes " Songs in the Key of Z is a zesty garnish to Irwin Chusid's thick sauce of knowledge, written with an appreciation that makes us want to share in the cacophonous fun. A must-read for anyone who enjoys the weird side of the human soul, and I speak as an authority on human weirdness." --Ken Smith, coauthor, Roadside America
