I was recently in Rutland, Vermont and happened upon this sweet bookstore called The Book King. Great atmosphere. While there I picked up an anthology of music writing from 2005 - the anthology is part of the Da Capo series, edited by "JT Leroy" (more on this in a minute). I have yet to start it, but upon reading the reviews on Amazon I'm now just a little apprehensive. I've had luck with the Da Capo anthologies in the past, they've featured some great pieces of music journalism.

JT Leroy for those who may not know, is a hoax persona created by Laura Albert in the mid-90s in order to publish writing that she might not otherwise have been able to. It inspired a Law & Order episode, actually. For more on that, I give you the Wikipedia of it. For the time being, I'll just be reporting on the actual literature and not the deceit behind its publication.
