33 1/3 announces open call for book proposals; time for that long-gestating academic treatise on Elephunk!

Have you always longed for a book delving into the cultural implications of Dolly Parton’s Jolene? Does your bookshelf ache for a slim but attractively packaged tome on the merits of Suicide’s 1977 self-titled album? Does the new ”Red Hot Chili Peppers song” inspire you to new heights of writing ecstasy? Well, if so, there’s never been a better time than the present to trot out the ol’ nerd glasses, the typewriter, and the 16-whiskeys-a-day drinking habit and submit a proposal for the 33 1/3 series!!!

Yes, the series that brought you Colin Meloy writing about The Replacements, Michelangelo Matos writing about Prince, our own Mr P writing about Radiohead, and an in-depth investigation of “taste” via Celine Dion’s Let’s Talk About Love is, from today through March 3, in the midst of an open call for submissions. Interested parties will need a draft table of contents, a sample intro chapter, and more outlined in this call for proposals. Good luck.
