    Spending a day with JP
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2010*

When I first heard Justin Pearson was making a book I was immediately interested. I initially thought it'd be a fiction book, when I found out it was a memoir of sorts I surprisingly wasn't let down just from reading the little sample page. I read the first 116 pages in one sitting, only stopping to go to work. After work I finished the book, this  was all in 12 hours. Needless to say this book ruled! It's not just about JP's life, like any good memoir, you can learn a lot from it too. For instance, I never thought about how poorly kids are treated for having a messed up family. Pearson gives insight into his constant rotation of childhood friends, many of whom apparently experienced a nasty fight between his parents that he slept through on a sleepover he was throwing. I don't think the book comes off as to pretentious or even overtly self-indulgent. At least not by memoir standards. The most interesting stuff, as a fan of JP's music, was reading about his experiences with Head Wound City, the few but entertaining experiences with Holy Molar, his feelings on what would become Some Girls and their transformation, and of course, with the Locust (great tour experiences included). There was also a hilarious chapter about his Jerry Springer experience and his attempt to get on Blind Date, which succeeded, but had to decline the date because he was going to be on tour the day it was going to be filmed. This guy's got a wicked sense of humor, I literally laughed out loud in this chapter and a few others. I seriously started crushing on JP reading through this book. I've been talking about this book to anyone willing to listen. I'm not quite sure this would be of much interest to those who aren't a fan of JP's music, but if you ever want to kill a few hours reading an interesting story and have a deep interest in music in general I think this music-tinged memoir would be ideal. I found this book to be inspiring, musically and intellectually, and I now I seriously want to meet this guy. Also, the book looks great. There's a cool font for chapter headings, and the first line is highlighted in black with white font and there's finger prints scattered on the bottom and sides every few pages. Highly recommended.

    "A band that I play in called The Locust."
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2010*

The Locust has been one of my favorite bands for a while, mostly because of how consistently baffling they are.  This book is a personal account of Justin Pearson's life, from childhood through Locusthood.Pearson's writing is mostly a play-by-play of 'what happened that day.'  Most of the chapters are 2-6 pages long, and the names of all the chapters are like leftover Locust track titles.If you're familiar with The Locust's music (and enjoy it), you have probably asked yourself how in the world they do it.  More happens in a single Locust song, many of which are no longer than a minute, than happens in the entire career of most musicians.  There are no hooks, barely any repeated riffs, no choruses--just relentless, calculated storms of music unlike anything.Unfortunately, this book didn't provide what I secretly wished it would: a tell-all of Pearson's thought process in constructing The Locust.  In fact, he talks about it just like any average bassist would talk about being in any plain old rock band.  I guess that's just what comes out of Pearson (and the other Locusts).Pearson is an odd character to become acquainted with.  Some of the parts of his stories seemed completely pointless to include in a book, such as how a foe on the street spit on the sidewalk and it landed right next to Pearson's shoe.  He mentions a couple times that he's witty, and that he often outwitted his critics, but the only time he actually tells us about this wit, he had told someone that they have "hepatitis A, B, and C," which seemed sophomoric to me.  He mentions not being a violent person, although he never seems to have avoided physically retaliating or vandalizing when he saw fit.  He mentions his veganism, and especially his "ethics" a lot without ever expounding on his beliefs or their justification.Pearson has had it tough.  Nothing has ever been handed to him, and although he lets his ego slip a little ("People can think what they want, but I'd like to see them try to replicate what we do."), I think he's earned it.The book is incredibly enjoyable, especially if you're into The Locust or have any interest in the lifestyle of a man who gives everything he's got for the sake of music that almost everybody hates.

    Extremely enjoyable
  

*by O***6 on Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2019*

Was originally just a huge fan of The Locust. After reading this and learning about Pearson’s various other projects I’ve quickly become obsessed with his other work.The book was a fun and quick read. Touched base on some of the more obscure things I’ve heard about his life. Like the Jerry Springer incident.May or may not be enjoyable for someone who isn’t already a fan. I usually don’t read nonfiction and throughly enjoyed this. I even bought his second book while I was still reading this one. Always nice to support smaller artists! My cat also agreed that this was a quality book.
