An Anti-Musicology of the Pop Song

Hallo (Norsk for 'Hello' -- Norsk is Norsk for Norwegian). In case you're wondering, I'm heading to Norway over Christmas, so I'm brushing up on my language skills. My most useful phrase will be "Snakker du engelsk?"
I'll be posting some more pictures sometime next week, after I attend my first SPAN (Scottish Pop Academics Network) meeting at Glasgow Caledonian on Friday, and after I visit the Sound Archives at the British Library in London on Monday. For now, these'll have to do.
