NEW YORK NO WAVE SCENE AND POPULAR MUSIC RESOURCES

As more scholars do research in Popular Music, more scholarly materials are being published about Popular Music. The J. Paul Leonard Library’s collection of Popular Music genres offers a bounty of academic material for the popular music researcher : jazz, blues, punk, rock, hip hop, rap, reggae, soul, etc.

There have been a few noteworthy books published recently about the New York No Wave Scene. If you click on the book jackets above, you will see the holdings for these books in our library. I have also included links to books that cover other types of popular music as well.

The New York Times recently reviewed the Byron Coley/Thurston Moore book NO WAVE. Follow the link for excerpts and photographs, as well as the story.

If you need help researching the various genres of music, I have created a Research Guide that will guide you to relevant sources. Go here. You can also read and/or subscribe to my music blog, which is designed to give additional and updated resources that will come to you directly either through just accessing the blog, or by subscribing to the rss feed.

If you have any questions relating to your music research, don’t hesitate to contact me. What you find out today may save you time and frustration tomorrow.
