33 1/3 Greatest Hits, Volume 1: v. 1

Product Information

One thing that I hope the editors clarify is whether or not the series is still considering non-academic proposals. I have always liked that the 33 1/3 series welcomes a variety of approaches. There are ‘Making Of’ books like “69 Love Songs” and “Chocolate and Cheese.” There are literary approaches like “Master of Reality,” “Meat is Murder,” and Let it Be.” And, of course, there are the academic/analytical titles like “Let’s Talk About Love” and “Dangerous.”

We are thrilled to announce the next batch of 12 books for the 33 1/3 series. From Little Richard to Dolly Parton to Cardi B, we have a variety of new artists and albums to add to the series lineup. We look forward to seeing what our brilliant authors have to say about their music.Yellow Magic Orchestra (October 3, 2024) by Toshiyuki Ohwada, on the album by Yellow Magic Orchestra (1978) [28] Over the years, the scope has widened, albums that would have never made it into the canon, or been considered part of any canon in fact, are now celebrated – and that’s awesome. Amazing, actually. 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. Thirty-Three and a Third) is a series of books, each about a single music album. [1] The series title refers to the rotation speed of a vinyl LP, 33 + 1⁄ 3 RPM. [2] History [ edit ]

Maria Callas's Lyric and Coloratura Arias (33 1/3) Ginger Dellenbaugh: Bloomsbury Academic". Bloomsbury Publishing. The original Smile album remains unfinished; not to be confused with The Smile Sessions (2011) box set 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: 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.

Global editor highlight: Noriko Manabe". 333Sound. August 31, 2017. Archived from the original on May 22, 2018 . Retrieved November 20, 2017. Several independent books have been spun off of the series. The first, Carl Wilson's 2007 entry on Celine Dion's Let's Talk About Love, was expanded for a 2014 Bloomsbury reissue with material not specifically pertaining to the Dion album and retitled Let's Talk About Love: Why Other People Have Such Bad Taste. Joe Bonomo, at the invitation of Barker, expanded his 33 + 1⁄ 3 proposal on Jerry Lee Lewis's Live at the Star Club, Hamburg album into a full-length book about Lewis, the album, and his career titled Jerry Lee Lewis: Lost and Found, published by Continuum in 2009. A rejected proposal from writer Brett Milano for an entry on Game Theory's 1987 album Lolita Nation was instead expanded by Milano into a biography on the band's leader Scott Miller; that project, titled Don't All Thank Me at Once: The Lost Genius of Scott Miller, was released by 125 Books in 2015.

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? Zaleski, Annie (January 1, 2016).

In 2010, Continuum was bought out by Bloomsbury Publishing, which continues to publish the series. [3] Following a leave, Barker was replaced by Grossan in January 2013. [2] Leah Babb-Rosenfeld has been the editor of the series since 2016. [4] Here you’ll find the full list of albums already covered in the 33 1/3 series, from the very first book published in 2003 to today. But, I got the feeling, reading the New Zealand versions of the books, that these are less for the fans, and more for academics to prescribe for their courses – get the book on the reading list as a way of generating some meagre royalties. So the exact moment of 12:00:00 midnight belongs to the day before. The first moment after that, for example 12:00:01, belongs to the day after.

This direct insight from the band members and engineer John Fry steer the book away from the cult mythology that still clings to the Memphis group and creates something much more even-handed and humane. Eaton conducted the interviews in 2007 and 2008, and his book was published in 2009, just a year before frontman Alex Chilton and bassist Andy Hummel both died unexpectedly. Those immense losses, combined with Fry’s passing in 2014, adds poignancy to a powerful story of thwarted dreams. A: This time around we’re asking that you do not re-submit proposals. However, feel free to submit one on a different album.I mostly really liked this. I like Matthew Bannister as a writer. I think his original memoir Positively George Street is absolutely one of the best NZ music books; it’s written with a delightful honesty – so much so that some of the Flying Nun stalwarts took offence. And now we have all these gushy Flying Nun books clogging the shelves, trying to tell “the real story” as a result. Bannister, a musician (Sneaky Feelings, The Changing Same, Dribbling Darts of Love, solo) was also briefly connected to The Mutton Birds, playing with them in their final iteration before the band imploded. So, he’s very close to the subject. But not too close. He compiles fresh interviews with Don McGlashan, Harry Sinclair and Jennifer Ward-Lealand and gives a great cultural context for The Front Lawn’s multimedia weirdness popping up like a pimple on the unexpectant face of late-80s New Zealand. He walks us through the album song by song, as you’d hope in this case (and often expect across the series) and he doesn’t drip too heavy in academia. Though there’s also not a whole lot to learn here, it’s more a survey. That said, it's pretty enjoyable. And I love this album so much that I wanted to cling to anything written about it. I wish he’d gone slightly deeper into his own love of the album, his own discovery. Q: There is already a book in the series by the same artist as the one I’m proposing, will you consider two albums by the same artist?
