Back on [September 30](https://disquiet.com/2015/09/30/this-week-in-sound/), when the 33 1/3 series posted the “shortlist” of potential titles, the list had been whittled down by the publisher, Bloomsbury, to 83 prospective titles from the proposed 605. I [listed](https://disquiet.com/2015/09/30/this-week-in-sound/), at the time, the 19 I was especially hopeful for, based on their subject matter. Today 33 1/3 announced the 16 that had been commissioned, and 6 of the ones I was hopeful for made the cut:
*The Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde* — Pharcyde
*Homogenic* — Björk
*Switched-On Bach* — Wendy Carlos
*Tin Drum* — Japan
*Twin Peaks* OST — Angelo Badalamenti
*Uptown Saturday Night* — Camp Lo
And on top of those, there are four more I’m especially interested in that I hadn’t noticed when the shortlist was posted: Siouxsie and the Banshees’ *Peepshow*, Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s *Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version*, Lou Reed’s *Transformer*, and Fugazi’s *In on the Kill Taker*, the latter especially because it’s by Joe Gross, who is sure to do a great job.
Congrats to all the new authors. I’m excited that you’re keeping strong the series that published my book on Aphex Twin’s *Selected Ambient Works Volume II*. I’m happy to see so many albums on the 33 1/3 list I want to read about. And I’m happy, for the breadth and life of the 33 1/3 series, to see plenty of LPs I don’t particularly want to read about.
