ANDREW HOOK - COMMERCIAL BOOK

The ongoing battle between buying, receiving, enjoying and archiving had me reading parts of Andrew Hook's recent "Commercial Book" earlier today.

Taking the concept of The Residents' "Commercial Album", Andrew wrote 40 stories to accompany the pieces on the album, with a restriction of 1000 words per story.

Check out https://meettheresidents.fandom.com/wiki/Commercial_Book for more details.


A limited edition of the book got released by Psychofon Records, including a.o. a "Commercial Album Radio Ads" CD.
But the CD is available separately as well !


The disk presents 40 radio ads. One for each of the tracks.
Each time, it's the track itself with a voice over that says something like "This is track number x from The Residents' Commercial Album", and "You just heard a snatch from...",...
Quite funny to listen to it.
