- We just got office copies of Matthew LeMay's book on Elliott Smith's XO, so keep an eye out for that one. Pre-ordered copies should be shipping from Amazon very soon, and your friendly neighborhood bookshop will have copies on shelves, too.
- Bruce Eaton's take on Big Star's Radio City and Matthew Gasteier on Nas' Illmatic are at the printers and (fingers crossed) should be out by the end of the month!
- The Quietus has an extract from Wilson Neate's 33 1/3 on Wire's Pink Flag. You can read more here.
- We got our first review of a 33 1/3 in Metapsychology Online, this one for the book on Throbbing Gristle.
- We also unearthed this recent review of John Darnielle's Black Sabbath 33 1/3 from Enough Cowbell. We are trying to figure out what that thing is that's on his lap in the press photo. So far we only know it's male and probably from the southern hemisphere. First one to correctly ID it for us in the comments field will get a rare galley copy of the Sabbath book.

TT is also a winner! The male part was easy enough to figure out, but the rockist part was inspired genius. Send me an email.
Let's push this one step further: Can anyone name a white male rockist band from the 80s with a song in their catalogue involving wombats?
The Police, "On Any Other Day"
Steve Miller Band 'Last Wombat in Mecca'? Although I believe it's late 60s/ early 70s...
damn, I thought it was an aardvark.
Can you tell me why it's taking so long to receive "There's a Riot Goin' On" from Amazon?
The Last Wombat in Mecca - Steve Miller Band?
The Steve Miller song was from 1969, and though the Police song was released in 1979, that's the one I was thinking of...
So, TT and Nicola, send me your mailing addresses!

So, are there not going to be any new titles announced? What was the point of publishing a shortlist?
"it's unlikely that we'll be able to announce the final, official list of new books until late April (there are many necessary internal hoops through which to jump, here at Continuum"
