Popmatters has put up a wonderfully thoughtful 2 page piece on Matthew Gasteier’s 33 1/3 on Nas’ Illmatic:
Also, some of you have been asking which 33 1/3s are on the visible horizon, so here is a quick snapshot of manuscripts that we actually have in hand and well on their way to physical existence.
In the next two weeks: Madness’ One Step Beyond by Terry Edwards
Late September: The much-anticipated Brian Eno’s Another Green World by Geeta Dayal
October: Flaming Lips’ Zaireeka by Mark Richardson
October: Israel “Iz” Kamakawiwo’ole’s Facing Future by Dan Kois
There are a couple more that are just on the bubble, but we will avoid any undue jinxes and wait to announce those until manuscripts have been turned in.
