Noise Uprising: The Audiopolitics of a World Musical Revolution by Michael Denning

3.0

This book concentrates on the technological revolution of the 1920s and 1930s, and how the advent of shellac records helped local and ethnic music be preserved. It is a very dry and academic read - I wish that someone would make a pop history version. But it is a well-sourced look at an era in music history that is often overlooked.
