and while i'm at it, here's some book recommendations so you can get your read on:
Loser: The Real Seattle Music Story by Clark Humphrey - pretty interesting history of Seattle music, one that lets you in on the rest of the story behind the grunge thing. i just find it fascinating to read about insular scenes such as this. and mad props for showing Sir-Mix-A-Lot some love for the pre-"Baby Got Back" days.
Here, There, and Everywhere: The 100 Best Beatles Songs by Stephen Spignesi & Michael Lewis - as with any list or book thereof, this brings up lots of points for debates but it makes for an entertaining read. i think its especially informative for those who aren't huge Beatles fans, at least for all the little trivia behind some of these tunes.
The Four Books on Architecture by Andrea Palladio - always good to fall back on the classics, especially when it comes to architecture. this is pretty dense reading, but gives some wonderful insight to the classical forms.
