Yes Is The Answer

Yesterday’s Los Angeles Times has an interesting review of Yes Is The Answer, a collection of twenty essays on prog and art rock.

The book is available from Amazon in the US and in the UK, as a hardback and as a super-cheap Kindle download.

Looks intriguing. I’ll admit, I’m tempted!

Tull Under The Microscope

In October, Indiana University Press will publish a dissertation by Tim Smolko, entitled Jethro Tull’s Thick as a Brick and A Passion Play: Inside Two Long Songs. Apparently, Smolko “discusses the band’s influence on popular culture and why many consider Thick as a Brick and A Passion Play to be two of the greatest concept albums in rock history.”

Sounds interesting. Any Progarchists up for reviewing it?
