Might I suggest a little light Lulu reading for your summer evening?

@celloshots YES. I actually need to go to the Library of Congress in the near future so I think this is an easily achievable goal!!!!

@xandra I would like to drink a cocktail with you in 2023. Can that be a shared goal?

Putting this intention out into the world: in 2023 I am going to AGGRESSIVELY PURSUE FRIENDSHIPS because we moved to CT just in time for the pandemic and the only people I really know here are through work and I am hankering for non-work connection.

I had a wonderful convo with @kmturner1967 about my book for the New Books Network podcast - have a listen to hear us chat about singers, the music industry, and gender in the 1960s! newbooksnetwork.com/freedom-girls

I wrote about P.P. Arnold for Women's Song Forum! You should read everything on the site - it's full of wonderful and thoughtful essays by smart, smart folks. womensongforum.org/2022/07/15/p-p…

@MonAmiAnanas I will get this for you. You pick a picture, I'll place the order. ❤️❤️❤️

I am thrilled that my book is resonating with people, and so honored to be shortlisted alongside writers and scholars whose work I admire and respect so much. (And you can get a copy of Freedom Girls here! global.oup.com/.../freedom-gi…)

This evening at the Pop Conference they announced the shortlist for the Ralph J. Gleason Music Book Award (rockhall.com/2022-Ralph-J-G…) and Freedom Girls is on the shortlist!!!!

If you're an OUP author, reviewer, or have any other connections to the press, I hope you'll join me in signing this letter urging them to reconsider the publication of a book that will cause harm to our trans friends, family, and colleagues.

@UCLACSW Thank you, @UCLACSW friends!!!

We love this!! @xandra

Revisiting this great Ronnie Spector interview. Love her so much. theguardian.com/music/2019/dec…

@MonAmiAnanas I will pass your feedback on to the Dean!

Just hit send on the final memo-to-the-faculty of 2021 and now I am VERY officially on vacation!!!!!!!!

@david_rees's best-of lists are the best best-of lists of 2021. mnftiu.cc/2021/12/21/bes…

I wrote about Last Night in Soho, a movie that was really pretty ridiculous but that I kind of adored! popmatters.com/edgar-wright-l…

Head on over to the @OUPMusic blog for a playlist that I put together inspired by Freedom Girls! blog.oup.com/2021/11/voicin…

Monday at 5pm (ET) I'll be in conversation with the brilliant Jacqueline Warwick, talking about girl singers from Lulu to the Linda Lindas! All are welcome - dm me for the Zoom link! This is part of Popular Music Books in Process - iaspm-us.net/journal-of-pop…
