requiring a surprise reprint just six weeks after it went on sale.
Wow. I am glad I ordered mine when I did - I should get it before the end of the week.
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Rock on, Kim!
She's very good about marketing the book online, and we both wound up posting on the Elephant 6 boards about it when some of the hardcore fans were dubious about the project.
Also, I've noted before, the book is really the definitive history of not only that record but how Elephant 6 worked as a collective. It'd have interest for any indie rock fan. Kim did a great job of reporting and traveled a lot to interview people in Athens and earn their trust.
Where's the link for that, Jon?

Where's the link for that, Jon?
It was a press release email from Kim that someone forwarded to me.

Well, I expect she knows about it then, already, huh?

Sometimes just reading music writing makes me want to quit.
"Heart in a Cage" is a densely wrought latticework of Maiden-approved solos and martial rhythms, "Ask Me Anything" casts Julian Casablancas's barroom baritone into an audioscape of video game strings and ketamined "Sweet Child O' Mine" guitar lines, while "Vision of Division" is a suffocating swirl of industrial squall and stiff robo-skank.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I had a strong suspicion that the writer was from the Village Voice, even before I googled it.

Freeman is also the first to really dig into just how important guitarist Pete Cosey was, and how—while he never achieved the degree of fame of his predecessor, John McLaughlin—he was just as crucial to Miles’ music from 1972-1975 as McLaughlin was on albums like In a Silent Way, Bitches Brew and A Tribute to Jack Johnson.
Robert Quine was a huge Pete Cosey fan and used to mention him frequently in interviews.
