Bill Wyman’s book of lists. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bill Wyman’s Rock & Roll Lists - Currently available for download at iBooks and Amazon.com.au Bill Wyman’s Rock & Roll Lists presents itself as an exercise in provocation. It contains every song by the Beatles, the Clash, the Eagles, Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson, Nirvana and Pink Floyd, arranged from worst to best, followed by a ranking of all 271 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees.

In Praise of the Clever Watch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For around half a century, the wristwatch has been declared dead and repeatedly eulogised. The first serious obituary accompanied the development of quartz watches in the 1960s and their rapid commercial expansion during the following decade.
