Could someone please give me a rundown, privately, of 
still-acquirable John Cage books? Saw a listing at a
bookstore today, but don't know where to start. also,
besides Edward Strickland's 'Minimalism' (thanks for the
tip hrvatski), are there any other books dealing with
Minimalism, more in a modern context, preferably with
the whole music / art / design slant?

for anyone interested, in the current issue of Frieze,
Simon Reynolds and Kodwo Eshun have a little talk about
their philosophies and writing. there's also some crazy
Japanese arcade games, based on Dj'ing, with steel
turntables and 5 smapler buttons in place of the usual
joystick, kick, jump buttons. 

peace-
