Street Boners // Gavin McInnes


Street Boners is available on May 27th

Not many books can claim that even their copyright and dedication pages are downright hilarious. Street Boners, however, definitely can.

I’ve never heard of Gavin McInnes, Vice Magazine, or Street Carnage. I had no idea what was in store, but from descriptions of the book and articles about McInnes, it was clear…this guy’s commentaries are scathing! Based on the books subtitles, “1,764 Hipster Fashion Jokes,” I was expecting very witty jokes.

On the bright side of what I actually got, are:
- “A Brief History of Cool,” featuring greasers, beatniks, mods, hippies, pinks, the disco/hardcore/big boom 80s, metalheads, rap, grunge, and finally, things I’ve been alive to experience: indie rock, ravers, and hipsters.
- Do & Don’t rules including shoes, hair, pants, socks, and even facial hair.
- An interview with The Cobrasnake (LA), Pregnant Goldfish (Montreal), Kim Taylor Bennett (London), Last Night’s Party (NY) and The Final Word, London vs. Montreal vs. NY vs. LA, with The Arab Parrot, who has never been to Montreal. KEEP READING →→
