Love you, Sage.
Check out this new text, The Sage Handbook of Popular Music, which you ought to be able to obtain from your finest local library.
It's a monster, with 35 chapters from 36 Popular Music scholars. And, it's great.
Specific to this blog, there's much discussion on digital music trends, with Sinnreich (2015) for example, debunking the myth that piracy hit the music industry by surprise. Other chapters address issues concerning copyright, copying, movie soundtracks, live music, etc.
Everything you might except, then some - including case studies of Jay-Z, Amanda Palmer, Radiohead, and all of the usual suspects.
It comes highly recommend specifically because it is extremely wide-reaching, but self-contained, given the volume of chapters included. For that reason, you might dive in to read about one particular topic, but end up learning all about something else entirely.
Throw in a few beers and some great music, and you have yourselves as good a night-in as you can have in 2015.
