Supernatural Strategies for Making a Rock 'n' Roll Group

Quotes

“Prescriptive how-to advice ranges over a wide number of subjects…and can be seen both as skewering the cultural idolatry associated with rock and as genuine counsel.” Library Journal

“Svenonius has the spirit of a long-gone punk past, but his book has more to tell us about rock’s here-and-now than about its hereafter. Neither bourgeois nor prestigious, Supernatural Strategies may be the rare book by a rock musician to retain any power or threat.” Los Angeles Review of Books

“Drawing from the wisdom of rock ‘n’ roll’s most famous ghosts, Svenonius’s advice ranges from hilarious to cryptic to surprisingly useful.” Pitchfork

“If ‘write what you know’ is one of authorship’s prime dictates, then Ian F. Svenonius seems uniquely qualified…Svenonius’s contrarian, anti-establishment rhetoric is his greatest gift.” Baltimore City Paper
