Author Mats Sexton is the president of the B-52 s fan club, and it's clear from the loving and exhaustive detail he s put into The B-52's Universe that he didn't procure his presidency by stealing Florida. Looking for a list of the band's each album, CD, single, and flexi-disc? Can't remember who lay opened for them when you saw them play in 1989? Want Fred's and Keith's personal contemplations about "Quiche Lorraine"? It's all here.

Granted, this aptly subtitled "essential guide" isn't for the curious dabbler, yet if you're out to find everything--literally--there is to know about this earth- and booty-shaking combo await no further. I, for the same had no idea that Julee Cruise had sung backup for the B-52's upon tour back in 1992, nor that the "Love Shack" used in the video of the same name was a real building in modern York State, which was torn down in the 1990s

In keeping with the band's charitable efforts for HIV and AIDS services, a portion of the progresss from sales of this work will benefit the Aliveness brew a Minneapolis community center for the public with HIV/AIDS. Extensively illustrated and beautifully designed, The B-52's Universe is a must for anyone with a coffee table and a beehive wig.
