Malcolm and Gabe are continuing their tip of the hat to the Facebook phenomenon and specifically what is commonly known as the List Phenomenon, and this week it is the list of songs that changed the way Gabe thinks about music, a sort of musical autobiography. From high school and Thelonius Monk, to Daniel Johnston at the office, is it possible that Gabe has lived his life solely for the purpose of creating the perfect mix tape? From Malcolm and Gabe’s first meeting at the Coolidge Corner Movietheater, to cokeheads in Brooklyn and raw sewage shooting out of the toilet, to the year Gabe wouldn’t leave the couch. This week for Book You, Gabe reads from his own A Survey of My Failures this Far, to be released by Mutable Sound on April 10th, the release party to be held at Quimby’s in Wicker Park, Chicago, at 7 pm, with the cover band, Normal Feelings. And of course another episode of Twilight at the Lady Jane Grey College for Little Ladies.
