Editorial Reviews
Review
"A stimulating, kaleidoscopic work of unprecedented geographical and methodological range. The editors' introduction is the finest concise overview of popular music studies I've seen."--Robert Walser, Professor and Chair of Musicology, University of California, Los Angeles
"An up-to-the-minute field report on the current state of popular music studies, this excellent collection has the merit of not just recommending interdisciplinarity but practising it, not just criticising the undue pop/rock emphasis of an earlier stage but offering a model for an overdue increase in pluralism."--Richard Middleton, Professor, Department of Music, University of Newcastle, UK
