Review Quotes: "Corbett has just published a terrific new anthology of his writing called Microgroove, the long-delayed follow-up to his 1994 book Extended Play. . . . There's a lot of great stuff in the new book--which went through multiple iterations over the years, scrapped and revisited several times--but in his introduction to a piece called 'Twenty-Seven Enthusiasms: A Spontaneous Listening Session, ' Corbett expresses a major part of what makes his work so special. 'Show-and-tell was always my favorite part of school, ' he writes, eventually explaining that 'you accumulate things not to own them, but to share them.' It's what he's done as a writer, a music presenter, and, in recent years, a gallerist, at Corbett vs. Dempsey."--Peter Margasak "Chicago Reader"
