A review by matthewcpeck
You Don't Know Me but You Don't Like Me: Phish, Insane Clown Posse, and My Misadventures with Two of Music's Most Maligned Tribes by Nathan Rabin

3.0

The AV Club and The Dissolve are are my favorite pop culture websites, and Nathan Rabin is the most reliably fascinating of their contributors. His self-effacement and sense of the ironic blends nicely with his affection for the flops, outcasts, and has-beens of our fragmented entertainment universe. This book is a mix of the sort of material found in Rabin's pop-culture columns, with a candid psychological memoir. It's a tad rough around the edges, but the rambling seems apt to narrative concerned largely with obsessively following Phish around on tour while under a fragile mental state. I recommend this book to fans of smart, hilarious, sincere (but hip) music journalism, and to readers of David Sedaris and John Jeremiah Sullivan.
