"This book is a critical history of Sub Pop Records, the Seattle independent rock label that launched the careers of countless influential grunge bands in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It focuses in particular on the languages and personas of the "loser," a term that encompassed the label's founders and personnel, its flagship bands (including Mudhoney, TAD, and Nirvana), and the avid vinyl-collecting fans it rapidly amassed. The loser became (and remains) the key Sub Pop identity, but it also grounded the label in the overt masculinity, sexism, and transgression of rock history. Rather than the usual reading of grunge as an alternative to the mainstream, Lamestains reveals a more equivocal and complicated relationship that Sub Pop exploited with great success."--

The Bloomsbury Handbook of Popular Music Policy is the first thorough analysis of how policy frames the behavior of audiences, industries, and governments in the production and consumption of popular music. Covering a range of industrial and national contexts, this collection assesses how music policy has become an important arm of government, and a contentious arena of global debate across areas of cultural trade, intellectual property, and mediacultural content. It brings together a diverse range of researchers to reveal how histories of music policy development continue to inform contemporary policy and industry practice. The Handbook maps individual nation case studies with detailed assessment of music industry sectors. Drawing on international experts, the volume offers insight into global debates about popular music within broader social, economic, and geopolitical contexts.

Hvilken metafor kan man bruge til at beskrive Den Jyske Opera? Forfatteren til denne bog tænker kompagniet som et lille rederi, hvis moderskib sejler rundt mellem nære og fjerne havne med en skrøbelig og ret uhåndterbar last af kostbare kuriositeter fra de seneste fire århundreder. Vejrlig og strømforhold kan være vanskelige at forudsige, og det er da også et faktum, at det gode skib Den Jyske Opera er løbet ind i voldsomme storme undervejs, er gået på grund her og der, men alligevel altid er kommet på ret køl og har kunnet sejle videre, nogle gange med lods ombord, andre gange med frisk vind i sejlene. Det smalle, mytologiske stræde mellem Skylla og Charybdis kunne være et billede på den vanskelige sejlads mellem publikums forventninger, de bevilgende myndigheders krav og den mulige bemanding af moderskibet og mindre fartøjer. Det er ikke nok, at kaptajnen kan sit fag, han eller hun må være meget dygtig til at manøvrere i ukendt farvand, især hvis der sigtes mod fjerne havne langt ude i horisonten, og når passagerdækket er under ombygning.Bogen her skildrer sejladsen gennem de seneste 25 år – men med udblik helt tilbage til 1947, hvor skuden blev sat i vandet af en lille håndfuld sejlere med vovemod, og med glimt fra den ofte farefulde sejlads i de efterfølgende fem årtier. Kaptajner og repræsentanter for besætningen i de seneste 25 år fortæller personligt og farverigt om deres oplevelser med at bringe hele landets opera ud til små og store destinationer.
