Sonic Youth (Thurston Moore and Lee Rinaldo) I'm cheating; this week's installment is actually two guitars.

I finally bought and read this a couple of weeks ago. I suspect most people who read this blog and would be interested have already read it, but in case that's not true, I'll say that anyone interested in Flannery O'Connor should read it, both for what it reveals about her and for what it

Luther Allison Does anything else really need to be said? Have another taste: If you haven't heard of him before, here's his Wikipedia entry; sadly, he died at a relatively young 57.
