The days of being able to walk in to a Tower Records and seek out recommendations from an aloof, all-knowing staffer has been relegated to a long-lost Generation X paradise preserved in John Hughes films. From iTunes to Spotify, listeners now regularly turn to algorithms instead of human advice to develop relationships with the music they love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essential companion for any rock lover's collection--be it on vinyl or Spotify playlists--\u003cem\u003eAppetite for Definition \u003c\/em\u003ebreaks down algorithms into their human stories and interconnected histories. It provides and pulls up recommendations from a deeper well of consideration and gives you the tools to do the same. Operating on a macro level it surveys the myriad microlevel movements into an accessible map that readers can use to navigate the vast, craggy terrain of rock music and take their rock knowledge--whether casual or obsessive--to the next level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780062688880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/29\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2018 pg. 93\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2018 pg. 79\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ian King","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52435491913909,"sku":"9780062688880","price":13.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_5eb52eea-765e-46a3-98b0-564cb21b7790.jpg?v=1776226842","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/appetite-for-definition-an-a-z-guide-to-rock-genres-9780062688880","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
