What is this book called Marooned, with a string of ILXors as contributors? What albums are being covered? I couldn't find a thread on this, sorry and please ignore this if there has already been one.

I read about this book on the 33 1/3 blog...

It makes me think, though - is there a whole young generation of British music writers that we're missing out on? The 33 1/3 series is as widely available in Britain as it is in the US, and yet probably only 2% of the queries I receive from interested writers come from the UK. And only 6 of the first 31 books in the series are by British writers. I guess there's just no equivalent back home of papers like the Village Voice, Seattle Weekly, Creative Loafing, etc. Sure, there's Mojo, Uncut, Q, and the NME, but there must be far fewer opportunities for younger writers to get started. The Hereford Times doesn't quite cut it, although they do have a great selection of cheap second-hand cars.

Maybe we should get the best young British writers and go head-t0-head with Da Capo? It'll be like the Ryder Cup all over again. Except with less running on the greens.

english music writers are beyond poxy albums? it's an interesting question, though.

Thanks for the thread link, Marcello. I somehow missed that in my search.
