Review # 1 was written on 2016-10-17 00:00:00 Kurt Thuemmler Did you realise when you listened to "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" that it was an excellent example of anaphora - the repetition of the same word or group of words at the beginning of successive clauses She'll be risin' She'll find the note She'll laugh She'll be workin' She'll be sleepin' Or that the introduction to "Here, There and Everywhere" To lead a better life I need my love to be here was in the form of a propositio - a general statement that sets forth in a few words the sum of the matter being presented, which is then reinforced in the succeeding verses by anadiplosis, in which the last word of one phrase becomes the first word of the next phrase Nobody can deny that there's something there There, running my hands through her hair all culminating in frequentatio - when points dispersed throughout a passage are brought together in one place I will be there and everywhere Here, there and everywhere And furthermore did you know that (not uniquely, by any means) the composers of "You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin'" utilise epizeuxis to crank up the emotion (the immediate repetition of a word to draw attention to the state of mind associated with that word) Bring back that lovin' feelin cause it's gone, gone, gone No, me neither. God only knows what Professor Robert Toft would make of "Surfin' Bird". It's got epizeuxis coming out of its ears, and probably a lot of other fancy Greek words too. A-well-a everybody's heard about the bird B-b-b-bird, bird, bird, b-birds the word A-well-a bird, bird, bird, the bird is the word A-well-a bird, bird, bird, well the bird is the word A-well-a bird, bird, bird, b-birds the word A-well-a bird, bird, bird, well the bird is the word A-well-a bird, bird, b-birds the word A-well-a bird, bird, bird, b-birds the word A-well-a bird, bird, bird, well the bird is the word A-well-a bird, bird, b-birds the word A-well-a dont you know about the bird?

Review # 2 was written on 2017-10-21 00:00:00 Brendan Martin this book annoyed the fuck out of me. pointless meandering self-absorbed 'rock criticism' from some dude who's still obsessed with high school social cliques. even contains bad poetry! what was i thinking when i put this on my 'to read' list?
