Yes it’s two blogs in a day, folks, and with good reason. My friend Jaimie Vernon (whose old-new band Swindled I blogged about a few weeks back) is also the author of the Canadian Pop Music Encyclopedia, which has been online in development since 1998, but has actually been a work-in-progress for 25 years.
I’m pleased to tell you that the book is being shopped to major book publishers by a literary agent.
This is a huge gain for the Canadian music industry and for our music history, as so little about contemporary Canadian pop and rock music has been documented over the years, other than in isolation. I know – I’ve tried myself on a smaller scale. Fortunately I’ve also been able to contribute to Jaimie’s book in some small ways.
Find out more about the book right here – you can inquire to see if there are any limited edition copies still available for order. You can peruse the online version of the Encyclopedia to see the labour of love that you will get when you order your hard copy. I’m sure I’ll have some updates for you about the Encyclopedia over the next several months.
Congratulations, Jaimie!
