这让我想到了流行音乐。流行音乐领域也出过一本这类书：Bill Drummond 和 Jim Cauty（也就是 The KLF 组合）写的《The Manual, or How to Have a Number One the Easy Way》。写得拍案叫绝又爆笑无比；他们一度把 Rick Astley 的《Never Gonna Give You Up》形容为……
This reminds me of pop music. There was a book of this sort written for pop music, too: The Manual, or How to Have a Number One the Easy Way by Bill Drummond and Jim Cauty, also known as The KLF. It's brilliant and hilarious; at one point they describe "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley as the…
There is more money if the 98% monopoly cut is removed. I cite Drummond & Cauty's The Manual, how to have a number one and make a million quid * as the KLF they did just this, repeatedly & using pseudonyms. That was in the 'bad old days', Cauty & Drummond proved that without a record company…
…fascinating concepts like life inside of a sun. Made me feel like alien life is most likely unrecognizable to humans as life. I think it's out of print, I got a second hand copy off Amazon (or maybe eBay). The Manual by Cauty & Drummond. Funny, short, surprisingly insightful. A step-by-step method on making a #1 hit song. The authors had a #1 shortly before writing this book, and a few years afterwards. Can be found…
你记混成《The Manual》了 [1]，那是 Bill Drummond（KLF 的成员之一）写的，不是我上面列出的那本书的作者 John Higgs 写的。顺便说一句，Bill Drummond 的《45》[2] 也非常值得一读。尤其是对于有创意思维的人来说。……
You're thinking of The Manual [1], written by Bill Drummond (one half of KLF); not by John Higgs who wrote the book I listed above. Incidentally, Bill Drummond's 45 [2] is a great read too. Especially for the creatively minded person.…

要是能去掉那 98% 的垄断抽成，分到的钱会多得多。我援引 Drummond 和 Cauty 的《The Manual》，教你如何拿下一首冠军单曲并狂赚百万英镑 * 当年以 KLF 之名，他们就是这么干的，而且是用化名反复成功。那还是在唱片公司一手遮天的“黑暗旧时代”，Cauty 和 Drummond 就证明了没有唱片公司……
