A listserv that began life in January 1996 as an online discussion list for a graduate seminar in "Contemporary Cultural Studies" that I taught in the Department of Communication at the University of South Florida. When the course ended, there was enough interest in continuing the list to merit opening it up to a broader group of participants, and it's been going strong ever since. Today, the list has more than 1800 subscribers from over 40 different countries.
The webpages for the list are admittedly in a somewhat rough state right now. My initial efforts to move the site north were largely about cleaning up the look of things, and I haven't gotten around to cleaning up the host of dead links that I know are still in place. (And, truth be told, some of the look may be a bit shaky in spots too.)
Everyone and their cousin has a blog these days, yes? Well, here's mine. Just some random thoughts on changing the world -- or maybe some changing thoughts on a random world.
A bibliography of (mostly) academic work on rock and pop music that I started compiling in 1988 . . . that hasn't been updated at all since sometime in 2001. Nonetheless, people still tell me that they find it a valuable resource, and I'd like (someday) to try and bring it up to date again. So, for the moment anyway, it lives on.
