Reviews

"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
