Hey folks. I like to read--like, all the time--and I like to read about karaoke because, well, addiction. So far, I've read two karaoke books:

DON'T STOP BELIEVIN': HOW KARAOKE CONQUERED THE WORLD by Brian Rafferty (http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Stop-Believi ... B002FL5IQI)

HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT: THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO KARAOKE DOMINATION by Raina Lee (who used to post here, I believe) (http://www.amazon.com/Hit-Your-Best-Sho ... na+karaoke)

I have also been reading Lindsey Weber's column at NewNowNext (http://www.newnownext.com/tag/lindsey-weber/).

But I need more. More karaoke tales! More advice! Just... more. Just a taste to get me through the day and until the next time I can hit up a night of karaoke. Are there any blogs/books/columns anyone recommends?

Although I never read the book, the Author used to be a member on the old JOLT Forum, and I remember when he was gathering details for his book.

Though I am a reader as well, I would like to suggest a Karaoke documentary called Karaoke Knights. It follows four older guys ( friends of mine) through the karaoke world. Though I know it was made, I believe the production was limited. However you may well find it on line and I'm sure the producers here in NJ would be happy to send a copy.

I've also found a column by a KJ, Alison Babka, who writes for a site out of St. Louis, MO:
