Don’t Quit Your Day Job! Adventures for the Working Stiff Jay Toberman IUniverse Street: 01.01 Ever since Toberman went on a floozy trip through the stretches of Canada, he has been seeking “adventure” and, unfortunately, writing about it. Recollections of his sparse international trips are bleak journal-styled accounts that go into as much detail and

Empire of Dirt: The Aesthetics and Rituals of British Indie Music Wendy Fonarow Wesleyn University Press Street: 07.22 Dr. Fonarow exemplifies everything it means to be an academic in the modern world: overthought-out arguments, a compulsive desire to explain everything and the technicality of book learning to back it up.

Review: Love All the People: Letters, Lyrics, Routines
Love All the People: Letters, Lyrics, Routines Bill Hicks Soft Skull Press Street: 2004 For the uninitiated, the book will likely read as a strange, awakening and perversely offensive post-humous chronology of a warped, angry little man, though god-damn funny. To those already primed in the legacy left by Hicks, this book might very well

Review: The Salt Palace
The Salt Palace Darren DeFrain New Issue Press Street: 10.2005 The Salt Palace was written by some smarty-pants who was obviously raised in Utah. It is a story about a Jack Mormon who goes on a road trip. I honestly didn’t like the story very much at all. It had more holes in it than Tupac’s

Review: 33 1/3 Greatest Hits, Volume 1
33 1/3 Greatest Hits, Volume 1 Edited by David Barker Continuum Street: 10.30 As the disclaimer at the beginning of this book advises, the 33 1/3 Greatest Hit series is not for everyone. People who canonize their favorite albums, feeling that their commitment to and investigation of said discs (i.e. the search for the actual
