“Take a look/it’s in a book/a reading rainbow,” LeVar Burton once sang. (At least I always assumed it was LeVar singing that song. Maybe it wasn’t. But that’s beside the point.) The rainbow of 33 1/3 titles is about to get so many new colors, it’ll blow your miiiiiimd, maaaaan. It’s like a Super Tropical Melting Polar Icecaps Flavor Skittles level of new colors. After 10 years in the music book game, 33 1/3 has a lot to celebrate, and they’re starting with a dazzling cornucopia of new titles, including works on Serge Gainsbourg’s Histoire de Melody Nelson by Darran Anderson, S. Alexander Reed and Philip Sandifer’s take on They Might Be Giants’ Flood, professional party monster Andrew W.K.’s I Get Wet by Phillip Crandall, a study of Aphex Twin’s Selected Ambient Works Volume II by Marc Weidenbaum, and Luis A. Sanchez’s views on The Beach Boys’ SMiLE. Titles have publication dates ranging between late October and post-SXSW time in March.

Impending releases include books on the works of J Dilla, Bobbie Gentry, Gang of Four, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, Oasis, Liz Phair, Sigur Rós, Björk, Kanye West, Danger Mouse, Michael Jackson, Hole, Dead Kennedys, and Devo, which will bring the 33 1/3 release catalog up to the magical, mystical number of 100. And if you want to submit a proposal for a book on say, Wham! or whatever, the next open call for submissions takes place January 31, 2014 — so start plotting that George Michael fanfiction now.
