The What'cha Readin' Book Club continues our discussion of Treat Me Like Dirt : An Oral History Of Punk In Toronto And Beyond 1977-1981 by Liz Worth,, and I have two copies of the book to offer to the first bloggers who correctly answer questions I pose on-air.
What the what?! I guess my questions were tricky last week because I only got 3/5 correct answers for my book give-away. I'm not saying I'm gonna dumb it down to make sure I can furnish two of you with copies of Treat Me Like Dirt but suffice it to say, if you haven't won a copy of this essential tome for Canadian indie-rock enthusiasts/historians already and you want to, you won't have much of problem answering my queries today. Just keep listening.
Oh, speaking of give-away snafus, there was a tech issue on my Breakfast Club show with Nardwuar yesterday and two whole breaks didn't make it to air! As it turns out, these breaks contained the
answers to two of the questions I asked. We've uploaded the missing posts for the repeat broadcast this
weekend so, if you or someone you know wants a shot at winning those Mint Records Prize packs, please listen to the repeat edition of the BC this
weekend (Saturday 7 AM EST or Sunday 6 PM EST I think).
How are you finding Treat Me Like Dirt so far? Are you keeping up with this large cast of characters, bands, and scenes okay? Do you have any questions about the book for Liz Worth?
I have two copies of Treat Me Like Dirt to offer up on today's show. I'm gonna pose two questions on the air today and if you end up being the first person to post the winning answer to one of them on the blog, you win! All winners, please e-mail vish_khanna [at] cbcradio3.com with "Crash 'n' Burn" in the subject line, and your blog moniker and shipping address in your message.
Are you giving up carrots this month? Why?! Otherwise, what'cha readin'?
