From one of the most prominent music critics writing today, a page-turning and wonderfully researched history of protest music in the twentieth century and beyond

Nowhere does pop music collide more dramatically with the wider world than in the protest song, which forces its way into the news and prompts conversations from Washington to Westminster. Rather than being merely a worthy adjunct to the business of pop, protest music is woven into its DNA. When you listen to Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Public Enemy, or the Clash, you are not sitting down to a dusty seminar; you are hearing pop music at its most thrillingly alive.

33 Revolutions Per Minute is the story of protest music told in 33 songs. An incisive history of a wide and shape-shifting genre, Dorian Lynskey's authoritative book takes us from the days of Billie Holliday crooning "Strange Fruit" before shocked audiences to Vietnam-era crowds voicing their resentment at the sounds of Bob Dylan to the fracas over the Dixie Chicks' comments against George W. Bush during the Iraq War.

For anyone who enjoyed Alex Ross's The Rest is Noise, Bob Dylan's Chronicles, or Simon Reynolds' Rip It Up and Start Again, 33 Revolutions Per Minute is an absorbing and moving portrait of a century when music was the people's truest voice.--Booklist (starred review)

Shelf snapped during assembly; had to fight for refund with seller
Size: 5.9"D, Color: Rustic White + Honey Brown
I was really excited to get this cart for my kitchen because it looks nice and would fit really well between my fridge and my oven. However, when assembling the final shelf, it snapped and broke and became unusable. I reached out to the seller to see if they could offer replacement pieces and they told me no, offering a 40% refund or exchange instead. Like I said, I was literally on the final step of assembly with the shelf snapped, so I can’t take it apart and put it back in the box properly to ship back and 40% is NOT enough if I have to re-purchase the item. The last offer the seller made was for a 50% refund which is another terrible offer. So now I have a half-broken unit that I don’t know what to do with. Super disappointed. If you’re assembling this piece, make sure all your shelves fit properly! And if you have problems, don’t expect the seller to help you. EDIT: The seller finally sent a 100% refund after emailing back and forth for several days. I did not have a good experience with this seller, so I will be donating the cart as-is and not be repurchasing.

Great quality & easy to assemble!
Size: 7.9"D, Color: Ebony Black + Rustic Brown
Very impressed with the quality of this product. The wood is nice quality, instructions are easy to read and the item was easy to assemble. They even provided all of the necessary tools, including a screwdriver to assemble it. Looks great in my newly finished laundry room.

Great design for a kitchen sink organizer -- will not tip or accumulate water
We've had an Oxo kitchen sink organizer for years, and it's been fine, except 1) tall brushes (for example, Oxo brushes) make it tippy, stray elbows or imperfect placement of the brush would knock it into the sink and 2) it built up a soapy sludge in the bottom that that had to be drained and wiped down constantly. This item solves both issues perfectly. Likes: Size - I think it's about 5 inches deep, which is just right to fit the strip of countertop that runs behind the sink, up against the backsplash Weight - The drying stone in the bottom gives the baskets some real heft, so there is no tipping it over by bumping a brush handle -- it really stays put Drying stone -- The diatomaceous drying stone that slides into the bottom of the main basket is a great idea. These are porous stones that will absorb water and then allow it to evaporate fairly quickly. So far, it seems to be doing its job well. I'm sure the stone will need a wipe down now and then to stay clean, but no puddles of sludgy soapy water in the bottom is a big plus Overall Design/Build quality -- The unit seems solid. It's a simple design, but there are no sharp edges or unfinished bits. Once in place it doesn't wobble a bit. I wasn't sure about the black powder-coated finish, but installed it looks clean and it's unobtrusive. I appreciate that the smaller basket for tall brushes sits on hooks and can be hung inside or outside the main basket. Ours sits inside, but there's plenty of room left over for sponges . And there's still room to stand up a bottle of liquid detergent or counter-top spray. NOT SO LIKES Nothing so far. I notice a lot of this style of sink organizer on Amazon, so presumably they're selling well. It's a great improvement over the older kinds. Five big, clean, well-organized stars. Highly recommended.
