Bottom Of The Pops 
Alternative Music For Beginners

Merchants Of Air is proud to announce 'Bottom Of The Pops' by sit-down comedian Rik Stalknecht. In this book, Rik aims to guide the reader through decades of underground music, from psychedelic rock to aggrotech and probably beyond. He will describe loads of musical styles, add bits about fashion and lifestyle, plus columns, anecdotes and articles about the underground music scene. 

Since the book is currently being written, we have no release date at this point. However, we will start publishing pieces on this page in the near future. For now, you can read the column that started the whole thing, named '"Fans", or how to to be a music lover'. Click here to read that. 

About the author

Picture
Once upon a time, a long long time ago, Rik Stalknecht decided to be a musician. His very first concert was a disaster. Then, he tried to be a stand-up comedian but never really reached the stage. Why? Well, Rik suffers from a condition named "stage-fear", which makes him sick whenever he has to appear in public. He tried to "get over it" but nothing really seemed to work. Eventually, Rik buried his dreams of becoming a successful performer. Instead, he started writing for our website.
