From the Department of Books That I Am In That Are Out Now

Managing Media Work is out, via Sage.  My chapter, titled “Same as the Old Boss? Changes, Continuities, and Careers in the Digital Music Era,” is the twenty-first chapter.  It’s really nothing like the dissertation proposal, but more of an overview of how the hell an American music career works right now.  Amazingly, it’s still current, even though I wrote it 8 months ago!  And David Hesmondhalgh blurbed it!  Which means that David Hesmondhalgh has read my name, and perhaps nodded approvingly (approvingly!) at one or more of the points I make.  On the off-chance that anyone reading this blog also gets assigned in an undergrad Comm course to read this book, and they let me know of same, it would be like the coolest thing I’ve ever known.
