Story
At last, the definitive audiobook about perhaps the best cabin crew dramedy ever filmed: View from the Top starring Gwyneth Paltrow. In Ayoade on Top, Richard Ayoade, perhaps one of the most 'insubstantial' people of our age, takes us on a journey from Peckham to Paris by way of Nevada and other places we don't care about. It's a journey deep within, in a way that's respectful and non-invasive; a journey for which we will all pay a heavy price, even if you've waited for the smaller paperback edition. Ayoade argues for the canonisation of this brutal masterpiece.

The very strange but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a 1960s hippie utopia. Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day.

Story
Center of the YOUniverse is an out-of-this-world spectacle starring Tituss Burgess and Jane Krakowski with music, laughter, and (probably) the salvation of humanity from its self-inflicted doom. Unaware of just how brightly the other one shines, Tituss and Jane will attempt the impossible: a double-booking. In a unique blend of song and storytelling, they’ll stop at nothing to upstage each other and steal the spotlight…until they realize the true purpose of being ridiculously attractive and having immeasureble talent: to unite and heal the world.

No one other than Warren Zanes, rocker and writer and friend, could author a book about Tom Petty that is as honest and evocative of Petty's music and the remarkable rock and roll history he and his band helped to write. Born in Gainesville, Florida, with more than a little hillbilly in his blood, Tom Petty was a Southern shit kicker, a kid without a whole lot of promise. Rock and roll made it otherwise.

Absurd vs Nonsense
Sometimes it's best( and very funny) to answer a question, with a question. For example, Call: "Any question(s)? Response: Do you play the saxophone?" With the incredible talents of these men, that becomes an elegant joke.
Being able to hear what they created more than 60 yrs ago is a joy. But, why this 11 plus hr compilation contains only 6 hrs of original material, has no funny follow up.
I may be mistaken, but I believe this recording plays several of the same pieces, more than once. So 6 hrs of original work is presented over almost twice that time.
Presenting these geniuses of the absurd in this way makes no sense. It's a disservice that leaves the listener "hanging."
If Spike Milligan heard this, he might wonder: was this edited, by Ned C Goon?

Speak, Though You Only Say Eeee Yackaboo!
So, here we are…the end of it all, more or less — until the next volume and we go back towards the beginning.
“Do you play the saxophone?” “Only in the mating season.”
These collections have been exhaustive…and, I dare say, exhausting at times. The earliest volumes are mostly episodes, well restored (as they are here), and a tiny bit of bonus material, plus booklets (which most of the digital versions fail to provide.) At some point the compilers realized there was a ton of extra material available — documentaries, interviews, examples of other work by the core trio (though Ray Ellington gets his due here and there), excised continuity announcements and even outtakes and rehearsal material.
This set goes deep into the rehearsal vaults — unfortunately for “The Last Goon Show Of All,” an ill-advised attempt to revive and pay tribute to the series. The final show suffers badly from bloat and lethargy, and that goes double for the behind the scenes material. Two and a half hours goes to Parkinson and the droning “Late Night With Ian Vincent.” Not the most engaging package, then.
Lack of a PDF booklet is *very* annoying, as is the lack of chapter titling (an unfortunately standard issue with Audible releases.)
