MJ hype
Trust me, you don't have to like MJ to enjoy this book ....if you want serious but highly readable reflections on pop, politics and celebrity (and their interactions) .... if you long for the kind of engaged and expansive criticism that you used to find in the music press of the 70s and the 80s ... if you like the music writing that's emerged from this zone of the blogosphere... then there's plenty for you here... all this, and a great cover image from Laura Oldfield Ford, too...
The Amazon price is a steal: believe me, it's worth paying out that for Ian's essay alone....
Capitalist Realism is also available for pre-order on Amazon...
Also....
For readers in Argentina:
