I was just at amazon.com (later found out all of them weren't listed) looking up all the books in this series. I noticed a pattern of mostly male artists or should I say, books about albums by male artists/bands. Some are worthy, like Steely Dan, Prince, & Stevie Wonder. Others not so much. It would be nice if someone had the balls to write a book on Tim Buckley's Starsailor album..

Anyway, if I remember correctly, one of the few female artists I saw was Liz Phair?! You're kidding me right? Why does she get a book ..... cause she "sings" about blowjobs? Liz freakin Phair! But no books on Kate Bush or Laura Nyro?
Female singer/songwriters who paved the way for a Liz Phair are ignored. But guess who isn't ignored... the loathsome Kanye West, & a couple of other rappers & somebody named DJ Shadow... remember every white rock critic sold out & fell under the "street cred" spell, so they just have to embrace EVERY rapper, didn't you know? I guess they think that makes them NOT a racist, when actually its the opposite.
People need to question why the masses (all over the world) blindly accept & can't stop raving about rappers- the WORST examples of black culture.

Robert Christgau- Consumer Guide?
Reading Robert Christgau's "Consumer Guide" can be quite entertaining but it also can be quite annoying. Like for instance, I wanna know what the hell he was smoking when he suggests Laura Nyro was a fool in one of his Kate Bush album reviews. Meanwhile, on his Laura Nyro albums page, he is FOOLISH enough to start(!) at her more subdued Christmas & The Beads of Sweat album, while not even bothering to review her masterpieces- Eli & The 13th Confession & New York Tendaberry.
If he had bothered to LISTEN to those albums, he would know she's NO fool!
How is he the "dean of American rock critics" if he skips those 2 important albums? http://www.lauranyro.com
And you know what, he doesn't even like Flora Purim, so HE might be the one who's a fool....
