33 1/3 books

[johnmark]

Hey folks.  My name's John Mark and I work at Continuum (we produce the 33 1/3 series).  I found you because you linked to the 33.3 blog from here.  Let me know who/how to give credit for the amazing Kriss Kross 33.3 cover and I'll give credit where credit's due.  And just fyi, to make it more convincing and for accuracy's sake, beware the cropping.  There's supposed to be a black border around the colorful parts.

I used to listen to Best Show quite a bit a few years ago, but it's soooo loooong, and I can't find the time to keep up anymore it seems.  Keep me up to date with any developments: jmboling@continuum-books.com

ALSO, you should know that we actually have a 33.3 in process right now on Madness, inventors of ska.  Unfortunately it isn't written by Ronald Thomas Clontle.

The Vulture blog originally grabbed that Kriss Kross image come from one my Best Show Recaps (I've been keeping track of Tom's various denied submissions):

I've been recapping most Best Show episodes since late 2005, and you can peruse them all here:

There hasn't been a street fight in Park Slope for years, but I think an ABBA reading is a great place to pick up where they left off.

ALSO, you should know that we actually have a 33.3 in process right now on Madness, inventors of ska. 

Madness: Inventors of Ska. They also invented mis-matched wardrobes. Perhaps the book for Kriss-Kross will wave a nod to them.

In addition to the Baby Steps podcast, maybe there could be a "Best Show On the Go: Wit and Wisdom from WFMU's Tom Scharpling for the Busy Professional" digest put out.

I've contacted the people at http://www.bizsum.com/ and http://store.audiotech.com/.

At least you got a credit there.

Wow, I hope that is Time Out New York columnist and The Determined Dilettante blogger Elisabeth Vincentelli!

latest blog post: January 25, 2008. Zero Comments.

that's some writerly cred she got there.

*admittedly, I haven't really done shit all year.

[yesno]

Come on, she's got more blog posts that that:  http://determineddilettante.blogspot.com/

Not that I am generally in favor of people blogging more.

Why? I love it when people introduce themselves as A Blogger. I don't get to laugh enough these days. I need those people.

[TheShamblers]

I like it when someone introduces themselves as a "Blogger."  It's like saying they're "on the Myspace."

Total embarrassing-dad move.

Total Twix commercial move.

Fixed.

These are challenging "I'm a blogger" for the SFW crown:

"I'm a life coach".

"I'm a personal branding consultant".

"I help companies use Twitter to achieve their goals".

Were they the inventors of ska in the same way the Beastie Boys invented rap?
