An Anthology of Australian Albums offers an overview of Australian popular music through the lens of significant, yet sometimes overlooked, Australian albums. Chapters explore the unique qualities of each album within a broader history of Australian popular music. Artists covered range from the older and non-mainstream yet influential, such as the Missing Links, Wendy Saddington and the Coloured Balls, to those who have achieved very recent success (Courtney Barnett, Dami Im and Flume) and whose work contributes to international pop music (Sia), to the more exploratory or experimental (Curse ov Dialect and A.B. Original). Collectively the albums and artists covered contribute to a view of Australian popular music through the non-canonical, emphasizing albums by women, non-white artists and Indigenous artists, and expanding the focus to include genres outside of rock including hip hop, black metal and country.
Over the past 25 years, Icelandic music has been gaining considerable international attention. This is attested to by the international success of such acts as the Sugarcubes, and then Bjork as a solo artist, followed by the worldwide success of Sigur Ros, and more recently Of Monsters and Men. And these artists reveal themselves to be 'the tip of the iceberg', once one delves further into the music of Iceland and the myriad of genres that are thrive there. That such a small country can produce so much music of quality, value and acclaim is a fascinating situation that has boosted Icelandic tourism and made the country the 'hippest' place in the world. This is a book of wide-ranging essays on different aspects of Icelandic music, from the ancient traditional chants of rimur to the large output of classical music by nationalist composer Jon Leifs and others, to the plethora of Icelandic rock and pop groups that have already made an impact on the world as well as more idiosyncratic and genre-bending musicians now emerging from the Reykjavik music scene.

The thirteen essays that comprise Global Noise explore the hip hop
scenes of Europe, Anglophone and Francophone Canada, Japan and
Australia within their social, cultural and ethnic contexts.
Countering the prevailing colonialist view that global hip hop is
an exotic and derivative outgrowth of an African-American-owned
idiom subject to assessment in terms of American norms and
standards, Global Noise shows how international hip hop scenes,
like those in France and Australia, developed by first adopting
then adapting US models and establishing an increasing hybridity of
local linguistic and musical features. The essays reveal diasporic
manifestations of international hip hop that are rarely
acknowledged in the growing commentary on the genre in the US. In
the voices of rappers from around the globe with divergent
backgrounds of race, nationality, class and gender, the authors
find a consistent rhetoric of opposition and resistance to
institutional forms of repression and the construction of a
cohesive, historically-based subculture capable of accommodating
regional and national diversities.
