A review of "The Unfortunates"

nobody@allconsuming.net (E.J.) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:21:36 GMT

by B.S. Johnson

This is, yes, a book, one that, if I recall, was it, ah, yes, one that everyone ought to read as it traces, spaces, the flow of thoughts that comes in moments of reminiscence, and I enjoyed it, did enjoy it, a great deal, particularly its absence, deliberate lack, of chronological chapters, though what does it matter, did it matter, no, it does not.

A review of "I Hate New Music: The Classic Rock Manifesto"

I Hate New Music: The Classic Rock Manifesto

by Dave Thompson

To describe I Hate New Music as it should be described ~~- in a word, pointless; in another, execrable -~~ could easily be spun as having missed the point. The book is tongue-in-cheek. It’s intended to ruffle feathers. It’s written by a lover of classic rock for other lovers of classic rock; those who would demur aren’t its target readership…

Full review here on Ink19.
