... I'm a great admirer of Philip Tagg's work and thought, in particular his analyses of library music, and why people use the music they do and for what purpose. But if you aren't, and you find Tagg's perspective all a bit leftish and anti-establishment, think again - ... the Conservative Party of all people telling you that Tagg is absolutely right. Not only can music be used to manipulate you to vote, it can even communicate a political agenda.

This site covers a wide range of outstanding material, musical and non-musical... packed with fascinating resources. The academic content of the site is innovative, including full-text articles, unusually detailed course materials, and an archive of student projects. The musical subject matter is wide-ranging, particularly strong on areas of popular music, film, and semiotics. Further links lead to rare sites of political and miscellaneous interest. Anyone with anti-capitalist sentiments will also find a mine of useful, moving, and amusing links and images. Educators and researchers in most areas of music and the humanities are likely to gain something from this site.

... An excellent resource, not just for essays on the Semiotics of Music, but also for general things like how to write a dissertation. The essay on melody and accompaniment is a gift.

Thank you, Tay Boh Tsun and Carlos García. Knowing that makes all the effort worth while.

I also want to thank all those musicians and young people who, in their blog or MySpace, seem to have found my stuff useful or influential.
