This Thursday, July 30th, I am happy to be joining my mentor and friend, film and media studies scholar Tom Schatz (Genius of the System, Hollywood Genres, Boom and Bust) to talk about the recording industry as media industry as part of the University of Michigan Press Live Author Talks Series. It’s free to take part in this Zoom event, but you have to sign up two days before the event. Sign up to join the conversation.
