Rezensionen
Collection of great long and short pieces on (pop) music, profiles, analyses and personal reactions; practical manual for breaking into a challenging and protean business; text for a cool college course; all-star lineup of contemporary music writers; models for venues from your own blog to the New Yorker; thing to dip into for bite-size bits of advice-How To Write About Music is, as the Dead Boys never quite put it, all this (and more). Highlights include Chuck Klosterman's interview how-to, Susan Fast's exegesis of Dangerous, Alex Ross's Radiohead, and, and, and-the volume draws on the 33 1/3 books without being in thrall to them, and it introduces many styles and many tastes-it's hard to imagine a better place to start. Stephen Burt, Professor of English, Harvard University, USA
