Rather unusually, I explained the idea of the thread in the OP. I naively imagined it would be full of other people's discoveries, although it has since turned into a journal in all but name.

A little bit of info about the book and the scene would be interesting too.

I'm sure many of us read books about music, but I'd like the focus of this thread to be the songs mentioned in passing, preferably in non-music related books. I may be reading a biog of Justin Beiber, but I'm not going to mention his songs here. Instead I'm going to start with the following, which hopefully demonstrate how random this list of music could be.
