>> Hi
>> 
>> Thanks for drawing my attention to this. I'll be signing up, and first in
>> line for the seminar on "the concept of periodicity as a theoretical
>> construct". 
>> 
>> I recently met an American ethnomusicologist at a Tinariwen show in
>> Scotland, who was on her way to 6 months fieldwork in Bangladesh. She was
>> rather sheepish about her field of work, though loved the show, and told me
>> that her crowd all hate what we know as world music as basically you're not
>> supposed to dance and have fun because this shows you are entirely missing
>> the point of the 'tradition' in front of you. What a po-faced bunch they
>> seem, with the most pretentious jargon I've come across in a long-time.
>> Academics breed academics breed academics breed academics breed academics
>> 
>> I've tried to read some of that stuff but it's impossible. In the end it's
>> hidebound by its own methodology and style (obligatory 15 footnotes a page).
>> The nearest I got is Robert Farris Thompson who I doubt would have much
>> truck with them even if he does teach at Harvard. And Ned Sublette on Cuba,
>> now there's a great book. But they make it pretty entertaining if you can
>> take on board all the info. Can anyone recommend any other serious books on
>> music like theirs?
