  • Michael Jackson's Dangerous

    by Susan Fast ...

Even ... Read more

  • Popular Music and the Politics of Novelty

    by Senior Lecturer in Popular Music Pete Dale ...
    Popular music, today, has supposedly collapsed into a 'retromania' which, according to leading critic Simon Reynolds, has brought a 'slow and steady fading of the artistic imperative to be original.'
