Geeta Dayal opens her book on Another Green World by admitting that she had trouble writing it. She penned and discarded multiple chapter drafts, then found her momentum flagging. Finally, she decided to let Brian Eno’s set of Oblique Strategies cards direct and inspire her work. It’s an apt move, as Eno often foregrounds the creative process himself, and it results in a probing and thoughtful book that never falls into formula. Instead, Dayal portrays her subject as a deft artist embracing studio technology and balancing his past accomplishments with all the endless possibilities of the future.

By the time most people discovered In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, Neutral Milk Hotel had already disbanded, and Jeff Mangum had disappeared. L.A.-based writer Kim Cooper dispels the mystery of the band without diminishing the power of the album as she retraces the NMH’s short history. At the time of its release in 2005, this title was the only book-length examination of Neutral Milk Hotel, and 10 years later it remains the best and most definitive biography of a band whose mystery only intensified its fans’ loyalty. Kraftwerk's Computer World:: 33 1/3 Steve Tupai Francis Bloomsbury Academic". Bloomsbury Publishing. The original Smile album remains unfinished; not to be confused with The Smile Sessions (2011) box set Daughter of a Baptist minister, Aretha Franklin was chastised when she left the gospel circuit to pursue a pop career. After establishing herself as one of the premiere R&B singers of the 1960s, she made a momentous return to the church on 1972’s double album Amazing Grace, which proved she could still testify mightily. In one of the most thoroughly researched books in the series, Chicago critic Aaron Cohen recounts the album’s creation and reception in great detail, noting that “the popular media rarely present her journey from a gospel perspective, so this album remains frequently overlooked.” His book is a much-needed corrective that restores Amazing Grace to its proper place in Franklin’s catalog. We are so excited to finally be able to announce our selections from the 2022 33 1/3 open call. We know that it feels like a long time since the submission window closed, but we’ve been hard at work reading through proposals, sending them on to external advisors*, discussing internally, getting in touch with authors, and making the projects official. So without further delay, here is the list of new titles:Q: I would really like some advice on which album to write on, or constructive criticism on my proposal. Can I write to you about this? That such a lively collection of beats and samples—as cerebral as they are physical—was created by a dying man ensures that Jordan Ferguson’s book will be poignant, but his clear storytelling and direct prose allows producer James Yancey to emerge as a complicated, contradictory character. The first half is the most extensive biography we have of the man, from his childhood in Detroit to his death in Los Angeles, just three days after the release of Donuts. The second half grapples with the album as a meditation on mortality, which only shows what an immense talent the world lost. I wanted a tiny bit more from the Front Lawn book but was still happy, I didn’t realise how much I would love the Space Waltz book, so that pleased me a great deal, and this is the most I’m ever going to think about the Bic Runga book.

[4]The first great title in the 33⅓ series paints a vivid picture of Los Angeles in the 1960s and Arthur Lee’s place in it—or, more accurately, just outside of it. While writing and recording Forever Changes, the Love frontman rented a house high in the hills above Los Angeles, where he could look down on the city and its music scene. His songs comprise an “ode to paranoia” that reveals the decay afflicting the hippie generation even before the fabled Summer of Love. Andrew Hultkrans paints Lee as an American prophet—not predicting the future but passing judgment on society. It’s perhaps the finest piece of writing on one of the finest psychedelic albums of that tumultuous decade. Submit the content below in one single document as either .doc, .docx or .pdf.
