Patti Smith's Horses
Patti Smith's Horses
by Philip Shaw
Publisher Comments
Described as the perfect fusion of poetry and garage band rock and roll (the original concept was rock and Rimbaud), Horses belongs as much to the world of literary and cultural criticism as it does to the realm of musicology. While Horses pays homage to... (read more)

Bruce Springsteen: Born in the USA (33 1/3 Series)
Bruce Springsteen: Born in the USA (33 1/3 Series)
by Geoffrey Himes
Publisher Comments
When Bruce Springsteen went back on the road in 1984, he opened every show by shouting out, one, two, one, two, three, four, followed by the droning synth chords of Born in the U.S.A. Max Weinberg hit his drums with a two-fisted physicality that cut... (read more)

Flying Burrito Brothers' the Gilded Palace of Sin
Flying Burrito Brothers' the Gilded Palace of Sin
by Bob Proehl
Publisher Comments
In 1968, the Flying Burrito Brothers released The Gilded Palace of Sin on A&M Records, selling a disappointing 400,000 copies. Almost forty years later, front man Gram Parsons, is still spoken of with almost messianic reverence. Patron saint of alt... (read more)

Ween's Chocolate and Cheese
Ween's Chocolate and Cheese
by Hank Shteamer
Publisher Comments
Ween now seems like a permanent fixture on the pop-cultural landscape, but when the band first hit MTV in the early '90s, their longevity wasn't so secure. Nearly two decades on, though, Aaron Gene Ween Freeman and Mickey Dean Ween Melchiondo preside... (read more)

Dinosaur Jr.'s You're Living All Over Me
Dinosaur Jr.'s You're Living All Over Me
by Nick Attfield
Publisher Comments
This is an in-depth study of the visceral slacker classic from 1987, an album that influenced enormously the nascent alternative scene. Dinosaur Jr, the stereotypical slackers. Mascis, Barlow, Murph (just Murph): three early-20-somethings still... (read more)

Flaming Lips' Zaireeka
Flaming Lips' Zaireeka
by Mark Richardson
Publisher Comments
Zaireeka is the anti-headphone and the anti-mp3. It purposely makes the two biggest developments in end-user music in the last 30 years irrelevant. Zaireeka is not mobile. It is not personal. It is not solitary, cannot be easily controlled, and can't... (read more)

R.E.M.: Murmur (33 1/3 Series)
by J. Niimi
Publisher Comments
R.E.M.'s debut album, released in 1983, was so far removed from the prevailing trends of American popular music that it still sounds miraculous and out of time today. J. Niimi tells the story of the album's genesis — with fascinating input from Don... (read more)

Highway to Hell

Publisher Comments
Released in 1979, AC/DC's Highway To Hell was the infamous last album recorded with singer Bon Scott, who died of alcohol poisoning in London in February of 1980. Officially chalked up to Death by Misadventure, Scott's demise has forever secured the... (read more)

Elliott Smith's XO
Elliott Smith's XO
by Matthew Lemay
Publisher Comments
Smith’s 1998 major label debut defies the "tortured singer-songwriter" stereotype, and takes up this defiance as a central theme. At a time when Smith was being groomed for a particular (and particularly condescending) brand of stardom, he produced a... (read more)

DJ Shadow: Endtroducing (33 1/3 Series)
DJ Shadow: Endtroducing (33 1/3 Series)
by Eliot Wilder
Publisher Comments
What resonated about Endtroducing when it was released in 1996, and what makes it still resonate today, is the way in which it loosens itself from the mooring of the known and sails off into an uncharted territory that seems to exist both in and out of... (read more)

Joy Division: Unknown Pleasures (33 1/3 Series)

Publisher Comments
Joy Division's career has often been shrouded by myths. But the truth is surprisingly simple: over a period of several months, Joy Division transformed themselves from run-of-the-mill punk wannabes into the creators of one of the most atmospheric... (read more)

Pavement's Wowee Zowee
Pavement's Wowee Zowee
by Bryan Charles
Publisher Comments
Pavement wrapped up at Easley Recording in Memphis. They mixed the tracks and recorded overdubs in New York. They took a step back and assessed the material. It was a wild scene. They had fully fleshed-out songs and whispers and rumors of half-formed... (read more)

Wire's Pink Flag
Wire's Pink Flag
by Wilson Neate
Publisher Comments
In contrast with many of their punk peers, Wire were enigmatic and cerebral, always keeping a distance from the crowd. Although Pink Flag appeared before the end of 1977, it was already a meta-commentary on the punk scene and was far more revolutionary... (read more)
