"What's the Frequency, Kenneth?"

"What's the Frequency, Kenneth?"

A list by Shellby, Customer Service Specialist

Much like the protagonist in the song "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" popular culture fascinates me. Whether that's good or bad, I have yet to find out. These are some of my favorites for when I felt like indulging into our world's pop sensibilities.

Books

Plenty of great tales in this book. However, my favorite part was the creation of cultural phenomena and living legend, Stefon.

There are so many pop culture references in this book that I had to stop and look up every other paragraph. It taught me things that only John Waters himself could have.

I'm such a big Joel McHale fan that I pre-ordered this book when it came out and was not disappointed in the slightest.

Just because a book is written by fictional characters doesn't mean the advice it offers isn't real.

Not only is this book a great read but it is endlessly cute as you journey through the early lives of famous music acts with the help of their moms.

For those like myself, who have "Tommy Boy" ingrained into their memories, this book is for you.

I wasn't even alive when The Dick Cavett Show was on air but through the magic of YouTube, Cavett has become my favorite talk show host. His same charm shines through in this audiobook (read by the author himself!).

This book sat on the shelves at the Benton City library for a few years before I found out it was about most everything I love: music, pop culture, and the combination of the two. I refer back to it constantly now that I know Klosterman is easily one of the best pop culture writers of our time.

I'm pretty sure I learned everything that I needed to ever learn about the 90's from Klosterman's examinations of seemingly unelated events that led to massive changes in the last decade of the 20th century.
