Just_a_little_patience Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/ , http://www.continuumbooks.com/ From Pitchfork:U2, NIN, B&S, Magnetic Fields Books DueCaroline Bermudez reports:There are certain albums that just can't be contained by 800-word reviews. These are the albums you play on repeat until the disc is scratched or the battery dies. You obsess over the meaning of every single word in their lyrics, read multiple biographies about the artists in question, or turn each chord into a meditation. Have heart devoted listeners: someone out there has you and your battered headphones in mind.The Continuum International Publishing Group has announced 21 new titles in its 33 1/3 series, a collection of short books about beloved (and heavily scrutinized) albums from the last half-century. The new additions, to be published throughout 2007 and 2008, run the gamut from folk to hip-hop to proto-industrial. The authors are writers from all walks of journalism, criticism, and academia, including Pitchfork's own Scott Plagenhoef, Amanda Petrusich, and Drew Daniel.At 29 books and counting, the 33 1/3 series has taken apart the Beatles, Love, Joy Division (written by former Pitchfork contributor Chris Ott), Prince, and Neutral Milk Hotel among many, many others. Colin Meloy of the Decemberists wrote about the Replacements, Joe Pernice of the Pernice Brothers wrote about the Smiths, and lots of music nerds rediscovered the joys of the library.Here is a list of the new tomes, so get ready to make room on your shelf:Belle and Sebastian's If You're Feeling Sinister by Scott PlagenhoefSteely Dan's Aja by Don BreithauptRichard and Linda Thompson's Shoot Out the Lights by Hayden ChildsNine Inch Nails' Pretty Hate Machine by Daphne CarrGuns N' Roses's Use Your Illusion by Eric WeisbardPatti Smith's Horses by Phil ShawThe Minutemen's Double Nickels on the Dime by Mike FournierNick Drake's Pink Moon by Amanda PetrusichA Tribe Called Quest's People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm by Shawn TaylorU2's Achtung Baby by Stephen CatanzariteThrobbing Gristle's 20 Jazz Funk Greats by Drew DanielKate Bush's The Dreaming by Ann PowersPJ Harvey's Rid of Me by Kate SchatzBrian Eno's Another Green World by Geeta DayalStevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life by Zeth LundyCaptain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica by Kevin CourrierCeline Dion's Let's Talk About Love by Carl WilsonLucinda Williams' Lucinda Williams by Anders Smith LindallThe Magnetic Fields' 69 Love Songs by LD BeghtolTelevision's Marquee Moon by Peter BlaunerTom Waits' Swordfishtrombones by David SmaySeveral more titles are scheduled to be published in 2006.
