Joni Mitchell reposted our @ca.theconversation.com article about genAI in the Canadian music industry. Might as well cancel all my classes for the rest of the week.

It's the spring sale at UC Press and books are all 40 percent off with the code SPRING40. This includes Music In Orbit, of course, as well as a number of excellent recent books on similar topics. Worth a look, probably. www.ucpress.edu/books/music-...

One year since Music In Orbit came out, and I feel like you get to do a year anniversary post and then have to shut up about it forever. Still available via UC Press and locally at Audreys. Below are a few select posts and interviews I've done about the book since it has come out
