New book review - Streaming Sounds: Musical Listening in the Digital Age by Michael James Walsh 👍👍 In the Journal of Sociology @sociologyaustralia.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Book cover of "Streaming Sounds: Musical Listening in the Digital Age". The cover image is a number of brightly coloured silhouettes of people's heads, each wearing headphones

Who employs the most musicians?🧵 TIL the US Army is the world's largest employer of musicians- some 6,500. For context, they're nearly largest employer full stop (after Indian MoD). But I expect other occupations (cleaning, catering) might be outsourced (?) while musicians are enlisted. (1/3)

US Army job listing for "Musician 42R". A highlighted passage says "largest employer of musicians in the world".

The new youth media of the 90s - Triple J radio, ABC TV (Recovery, rage), magazines and cable channels - both reflected and drove the emergence of a trans-local, all-ages, cosmopolitan but proudly ‘homegrown’, alternative music scene, showcased in the new wave of festivals. 2/3

Poster for Homebake festival 1998, Gold Coast Parklands. A treated photograph of a young woman raised above a crowd as if on someone’s shoulders, eyes closed, mouth wide open and one hand pointing skyward. Listed artists include Silverchair, Grinspoon, Custard. $45.
