Doug is, like, on TV and stuff
Over the past year our colleague Doug Freeman has been hard at work co-editing The Austin Chronicle Music Anthology.
Buy it, yo.
For a city that lives up to its “Live Music Capital of the World” tagline, you can image that this was quite an undertaking. And the result is a time capsule that includes almost 30 years worth of retrospective archives of the most unique and interesting music finds from the city we call home.
Music has long since been a personal passion point of Doug’s (even after we lured him over to the dark side) and it shows through the work he and fellow editor, Austin Powell, put into this project.
If you live in Austin chances are you like music and if you like music chances are you like Austin – net/net you can order a copy of the book here.
Or if you prefer to do your shopping with a beer in hand listening to what else, live music, then you can grab a copy at the official book release party this Wednesday, March 9 at Antone’s.
Additionally, the concept of the book and music journalism will be argued in detail on that panel that Doug is moderating at SXSW.
On a personal level, I’d like to congratulate Doug on the fruits of his labor. Not only is it a great book but it looks fly on my coffee table as well. Thanks, Doug.
Disclosure: Doug Freeman doing his own PR is highly amusing. See video below.
