This was a cool surprise: Apparently the Da Capo anthology Best Music Writing 2011, guest-edited by the estimable Alex Ross, includes 32 essays on music published in 2010. I didn’t make that cut, but I appear to be represented in the “Other Notable Music Writing” list at the back, for my profile of producer Dr. Luke (you know, the one where he says “How can it be a hit without lasers and cymbals?”). Admittedly, there’s 128 other pieces of writing on that list, but I am nevertheless honored and chuffed. Now I have to buy the book!
