Because no one asked me, I offer this urgent update on my recent purchases from the beloved Politics and Prose book store.

Drumsville, by Robert Catalioti, examines how the beat that got everyone moving started in New Orleans. Dan Leroy‘s Dancing to the Drum Machine looks at what some thought to be the end of human percussion. The Foreword by Duran Duran‘s Nick Rhodes is worth the price of the book.

Enjoy.
