Recensioner i media

An incredibly wide-ranging critical account of popular music. The book is an essential resource for all staff and students in the fieldProf John StoreyCentre for Research in Media and Cultural Studies, University of Sunderland One of the most thoughtful, inspirational and engaging popular music texts of recent years. It deserves to be well-thumbed by popular music students, academics and researchers alike. Insightful at every corner, the text covers a kaleidoscopic range of subjects - from country music to copyright, Madchester to Myspace - and delivers a wonderfully clear, authoritative and lively invitation to think and write about music. As pedagogically enriching as it is analytically sophisticated, the text not only describes current digital music cultures, but also suggests fruitful movements beyond current orthodoxies of popular music studies. A serious intervention that just so happens to be a clear and accessible textbookNick PriorSenior Lecturer, Sociology, University of Edinburgh
