I'm not sure what I would expect from a Gilliam Watchmen.

Bowie nicked the drums for Ashes to Ashes from My Girl by Madness.

Just got an email about a new batch of 33 1/3 books, including one on Diamond Dogs. Whoever came up with the idea for those books was damned clever.

I'm really anxious for the one on Japan's Tin Drum. I read that it's going to go a lot into culture vultureism and appropriation, could be an interesting piece. It has been delayed at least once so I'm hoping it comes soon. Just read the ones on Pharcyde, Massive Attack, and the Super Mario Bros. soundtrack (the game, not the movie), and about to dig into Tom Waits and Captain Beefheart.

They're small and short books dedicated to particular albums. The styles and approaches are all over the place, tho. Some are for general audiences, some are for academic specialists.
