The new Kanye book arrived the other day.
Spot varnish printed cover, behind the scenes photos and a disc with unreleased songs and stuff - very nicely put together. Even though the whole world is panicked that the Kindle is going to kill traditional publishing, books like this remind you that some things cannot be replicated digitally.
Saw the concert earlier this year. I thought it lived up to the hype - which was no small feat. Love him or hate him, Kanye is a uniquely talented individual. I think it's a mistake to judge him based upon the tabloid media's portrayal of his antics. At the end of the day, as long as he's producing compelling music, everything else should be secondary.
