In fact, your book offered my single favorite line of any book I've read in the series thus far (28 or so). "Get a real album." That still cracks me up. I look forward to reading these two selections in the near future.</P> Mr. Matos,

It also made “Let them touch those things…!“ my snark phrase of the year.

Excuse my hype but it's one of this decade's best (and bravest)books on music criticism as it examines the sense of distaste better than most critics could barely cover. Plus, Wilson happens to have a great sense of humor.</P> It’s great to see Wilson’s book getting some props here.
