Will Bowers has a beautiful turn-of-phrase:

He's written a book by the same name - I suspect it consists of more of the above - which I've been trying to get my hands on for ages. Supposedly is being reprinted in December :-)

Thanks Cart, that was a really wonderful read. Although now I'm trying to figure out how to get a copy of the book as well. Hopefully you're right about the december re-issue. His articles at Pitchfork are really impressive as well. Seems they stopped in mid 2009 though, which is a real shame.

I've been camping this page for the last 2 years and the date hasn't budged from the 30th of December 2010.

So I'm really hoping that it's still on schedule for a reprint.

His Puritan Blister articles were golden, as was his (now defunct) blog of the same name - unfortunately the blog was shutdown by some record company lackeys, which is a real shame.

The album titles/covers alone were creative wonders, let alone the (highly illegally hosted) music mashups he arranged into mix tapes.
