"Edited by Michael Veal and E. Tammy Kim, the book [Punk
Ethnography] is a thoroughly engaging survey and analysis of the
label's legacy and its future. It is also a very timely read, given
the current climate of isolationism, racism, and
anti-intellectualism here in the U.S. and many other parts of the
world."--Chris Becker, Chris Becker

"The Sublime Frequencies indie label curates albums of music from
the Middle East, Asia and Africa--often culled from flea market
cassettes and taped radio broadcasts--that transcend the stuffiness
of academic ethnomusicology and the calculations of corporate world
music. Its aesthetic is steeped in the pointed irony and
rule-breaking spirit of punk rock."--David Luhrssen, Shepherd
Express
"This original and timely collection raises key questions about the
purpose and practice of ethnomusicology in the 21st century,
especially in relation to products of research and politics of
representation."--Eliot Bates, University of Birmingham
"As much an ethnography of Sublime Frequencies as it is a study of
them as ethnographers, Punk Ethnography is a gloriously multiform
study, a rich investigation of their defiant, unaffiliated, grass
roots take on the ethnomusicological enterprise, fearlessly
interspersing essays with interviews, posing difficult questions
and drawing out the nuances of SF's gleefully rogue
persona.""--John Corbett, author of Microgroove: Forays into Other
Music
