Da Capo Best Music Writing 2003

"Best Band in the Land" from Exiled on Main Street #27 will be included in the Da Capo Best Music Writing 2003 anthology.

Da Capo Press describes the book as: "The fourth and latest volume in the acclaimed series that you've come to rely on for your music-writing fix. This year's selection was handpicked by Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons and himself a recovering rock critic. Culled from over a hundred sources, Da Capo Best Music Writing 2003 features remarkable essays by critics, musicians, novelists, and journalists who are as serious about writing as they are about music. It's required reading for anyone who loves either art."

Past contributors have included Lester Bangs, Nick Cohn, Jim DeRogatis, Steve Erickson, Lenny Kaye, Greil Marcus, Dave Marsh, The Onion, Metal Mike Saunders, Kate Sullivan, Nick Tosches, Sarah Vowell, and Jim Walsh.

The book will be in stores the second week of October, 2003. Look for it at your favorite local or online bookstore.
