From personal blogs to end of year critic polls; from the films of Quentin Tarantino to the books of Nick Hornby; music fans have always loved to compile and to indulge, to collect and to hoard. Mixing anecdote, humour, reference and quality anorak behaviour, "Hang the DJ" is a collection of lists about musical loves and hates, dreams and nightmares. Including contributions from bloggers, journalists, novelists, poets and musicians, it will be the literary equivalent of a great pub jukebox - inspiring, provocative and irresistible - and the perfect gift for all music lovers.

It's arranged alphabetically by artist to create the kind of unexpected juxtapositions that break down genre bias and broaden listeners' horizons - it makes every listener a seeker, actively pursuing new artists and new sounds, and reconfirming the greatness of the classics. Flanking J. S. Bach and his six entries, for example, are the little-known R&B singer Baby Huey and the '80s Rastafarian hard-core punk band Bad Brains. Further down the list: The Band, Samuel Barber, Cecelia Bartoli, Count Basie, and Afropop star Waldemer Bastos. Each entry is passionately written, with expert listening notes, fascinating anecdotes, and the occasional perfect quote -
