The visuals are a lot better than the music.
I thought the music had a slight hardcore punk sensibility that made me smile. Had it not been for the length and the chorus it could have been a song by The Minutemen or a contemporary. Great musical comedy on the piano solo.
This video is what first convinced me to buy The Land of Lisp. What a great decision - the book is very well-done.
The book is very enjoyable. I only recently found out that Chapter 5 has already been available online in a limited, but colorized form as "Casting SPELs in Lisp", http://www.lisperati.com/casting.html

Conrad mentioned that in the next edition/errata he probably will add a (web?) chapter about setting up emacs/slime, but I havent heard any updates about that since the initial announcement.

you know why LISP failed?

EMACS

At the risk of sounding like a *chan user:

>implying that LISP failed

Lisp will let me "balance weasels on a rake"? [1] I'm sold! :)
