that is all.

except, details: private music college? where? how’d you get this job? um.

Second of all, as far as music journalism goes, I am particularly fond of Klosterman’s essay about overrated, underrated, and rated-just-right bands.

I would think that including something from Klosterman would be interesting.

Jonathan Lethem’s article on James Brown is about as good as it gets for me. And if you have any youngsters more oriented towards the funky side of things, point them in the direction of Wax Poetics. The best book on the history of dance music is “Love Saves the Day.”

I’ve read three of them, and overall I wasn’t too impressed. One was okay (James Brown), one seemed kind of half-assed (Shadow), and the other was just pathetic (ATCQ)

But seriously, the way he used the Web to add both context and shape to his earlier essays is definitely worth a look.
