Somewhat perversely, though, it is for his Pazz & Jop number crunching rather than anything he wrote for TWAS over the first half of the decade. http://rockcritics.com/2009/12/02/favourite-music-reads-of-the-00s-24-stats/ Also noticed, while flipping through my Da Capo Best Music Writing anthologies recently, that glenn's piece on 69 LOVE SONGS ("Instructions For Dancing") was listed among "Other Notable Essays of 1999" in the 2000 edition. So, a decade-belated congrats on that one! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Dec 2009 13:41:12 -0800 (PST) From: "Tim Walters" Subject: [loud-fans] Beatles 3000 Even 1000 years after theyve died, the world will still remember the incredible talent of John, Paul, Greg, and Scottie. http://scottgairdner.com/2009/11/23/beatles-3000/ - -- Tim Walters | http://doubtfulpalace.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Dec 2009 14:53:37 -0800 From: "Joseph M.

I'm intrigued by "Stylus Magazine's Top 50 Basslines of All Time": http://www.stylusmagazine.com/feature.php?ID=1843 ...and of course, the "Top 281 Basslines Shamefully Omitted in Stylus List": http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=41&threadid=46171 Speaking of rock writing, here's Jonathan Lethem and Kevin Avery on the late, sadly-undersung Paul Nelson: http://www.wnyc.org/flashplayer/player.html#/play//stream/xspf/145077 ...and longtime rock writer Clinton Heylin just released a book on (of all things), Shakespeare's sonnets: http://www.clinton-heylin.com/ Reading the Pernice book and liking it better than some here seemed to, Andy Sonnet 29 When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries And look upon myself and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd, Desiring this man's art and that man's scope, With what I most enjoy contented least; Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, Haply I think on thee, and then my state, Like to the lark at break of day arising From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate; For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings. - --William Shakespeare ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V8 #227 *******************************
