[paul]

tom's been trying to write a few of these:

styx
hanson
missing persons


any other ones i've forgotten?



also i was surprised to hear liam lynch/s&o mentioned on the air, even if it wasn't in a positive light.

ROCK!!!!!

Kriss Kross -- Totally Krossed Out

I still like S&O.  On the other hand, the Tenacious D movie was incredibly disappointing.

the only thing i respect about tenacious d was that they got neil hamburger to play madison square garden.

CRAAAAANBERRY SAUCE!

Thank goodness no one's gotten to Snatch and the Poontangs yet!

I hope I have enough ribbon in my typewriter!

Styx III totally rules. Aka the Serpent is Rising!

I saw Neil open from them in Boston and the stupid meathead audience was booing him (but not as a joke). I thought he was great and did an amazing job with the hecklers. Now if he'd only stop appearing on Fox News' Red Eye...

If 33 1/3 let Carl Wilson from the Globe and Mail do a book on a Celine Dion album, Tom deserves his chance.

Wilson's book is great! It's basically the 33 1/3 version of "I Don't Get It".

Spike should launch the 45 rpm series with a volume on the Marathons "Peanut Butter" 45.

I want to see the 10" series that Tom has planned.  I guess he's working on "Found All the Parts" by Cheap Trick.

I would like to see "In the Pineys" by the Strapping Fieldhands.

(also, someone MUST have posted this already, right? (where Aziz must have seen it): http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2008/08/just_let_tom_scharpling_write.html )

The only 331/3 book that Ive read that was worth the price of admission was the Master of Reality one, courtesy of Mr. Mountain Goats.

[masterofsparks]

I've read most but not all of the 33 1/3 books and I've enjoyed most of them. Obviously it varies depending on the author and the album in question, but I think they have a pretty good ratio of success to failure. I haven't read too many on bands or albums I don't like, but I can only think of a few disappointments, and those tend to be the more dry, academic volumes (the ones that come to mind first are the volumes on the Ramones debut and Jethro Tull's Aqualung).

33 1/3 weighs in!

Hilarious that they reference L.A. Guns, which was one of my (semi-joking) suggestions for Tom ...  I also plan to start charging people for reproducing my Kriss Kross image.

Cripes. I would put a watermark on that image, Omar.
