Episode 99 – The Blue Series Book: Analysis & Review


Listen Later

Hear the yell? We've got nouns and books and show and tell this week -- just for you! Third Man Books has slowly but surely made a name for itself within the broader pantheon of TMR output these past few years, but the most ambitious effort for the imprint to date has undoubtedly been Ben Blackwell's THE BLUE SERIES: THE STORY BEHIND THE COLOR. Chronicling ten years of releases in Third Man's fabled Blue Series, this epic tome of information offers the story of how these records came to be from the people who made them happen. Going through each release in meticulous detail, TMR co-founder, co-owner and famed inventor of disco Ben Blackwell contributes interviews with the musicians involved, an extensive conversation with Jack White, and detail down to the nitty gritty on the most imaginative series of singles in modern music history. This week we review the book, discuss some of our favorites from the Blue Series, and take you the listener on a trip between the pages of one of our absolute favorite TMR releases to date. All this, plus a very special interview with artist and author Sina Grace, who details for us his own musical journey designing artwork and merchandise for artists such as Jenny Lewis, Metric and many more. Boy, if we're giving you all this for episode 99, what on earth could we have in store for episode 100?!
