Synopsis

Music Streaming War examines the intense competition between streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, and its profound effects on artist royalties and the broader music industry. It explores how the shift to digital music distribution, particularly streaming, has redefined music's value, raising questions about the sustainability of artistic careers. An intriguing insight is the disproportionately low royalties earned by many artists, especially independent musicians, despite the high volume of streams their music receives.

 
The book presents a historical context, tracing the evolution from physical sales to digital downloads, and then to the dominance of streaming. It analyzes competitive strategies like exclusive content deals and algorithmic playlists, while also delving into the complex formulas behind artist royalties. This approach helps readers understand the discrepancies between streams and actual earnings, highlighting the economic realities faced by creators.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the key players in the streaming ecosystem, then analyzing competitive strategies and royalty calculations. It explores alternative compensation models, such as direct-to-fan platforms, and culminates in a discussion of potential policy interventions. This comprehensive analysis is essential for anyone seeking to understand the economics of digital music and the ongoing debate surrounding fair compensation in the age of music streaming.

National Treasure: Nicolas Cage

Lindsay Gibb

A celebration of Nicolas Cage ― the man and the meme Nicolas Cage: leading man or character actor? Action hero or goofball comedian? Internet joke or one of the greatest actors of his generation? Beyond the gif bait and easy punchline, Nicolas Cage continually frustrates easy categorization or understanding. In National Treasure, pop culture writer Lindsay Gibb studies Nicolas Cage’s acting style and makes sense of the trajectory of his eclectic career. In the process, Gibb debunks the common claim that Cage makes bad choices. While his selection of roles is seemingly inscrutable, Cage challenges critics and audiences alike by refusing to be predictable or to conform to the Hollywood approach to acting. Much like one of his mentors, David Lynch, Cage aims for art in movie-making. Is there a method to his madness? Is he in on the joke? In this clear-eyed and well-argued volume of the Pop Classics series, Gibb answers both questions with a resounding hell yes.

It’s Only Forever - Labyrinth

Jes Battis

In the 40 years since Labyrinth’s release, Jim Henson’s cult classic starring a menagerie of goblin puppets, the conversation about it has only grown louder. Fans are still holding viewing parties and masquerade balls, and creating memes inspired by David Bowie’s sardonic and sexy goblin king, numerous Etsy crafts, and even a Japanese video game. But what makes the film so enduring, beyond its technical mastery and clever script, is how it presents childhood as something dangerous, heroic, and even queer. 
		 
It's Only Forever explores Labyrinth as an ’80s time capsule that both reflects and challenges its era, offering its young audience an alternative to conservatism and soulless economics, at a time when U.S. president Ronald Reagan ignored the HIV/AIDS crisis, pushing queerness further into the shadows. As Sarah, played by a teenaged Jennifer Connelly, faces down the king and his destructive whims, she exclaims, “You have no power over me,” and in that moment she is everyone who has ever felt marginalized, who has instead turned to the goblins over social and political toxicity every single time. 
		 
From the costuming to the twisting plot, this classic example of 1980s fantasy shows us that the magic and comfort of childhood never need to be discarded as we are forced to enter a world that may very well seek to destroy us. Instead, Labyrinth reveals a universal and beautiful truth: that our strength comes from what we have always known ourselves to be — beastly, loving, and wildly joyful.
