Turn Against This Land
''Turn Against This Land'' is the debut album from the London-based band Dogs, released in 2005. Critical reception ''The Guardian'' wrote that "at times - especially on 'Tarred and Feathered' - the sentiments being expressed somehow manage to sound more vital than the roughly hewn punk-pop used to express them." ''PopMatters'' wrote that "there is nothing new or surprising about Dogs." ''NME'' wrote that "if it’s bug-eyed reprobates with angry hearts powering aneurysm-inducing buzzsaw pop hat you are seeking then you’ve just found your summer’s soundtrack."

The Encyclopedia Of Popular Music
''The Encyclopedia of Popular Music'' is an encyclopedia created in 1989 by Colin Larkin. It is the "modern man's" equivalent of the '' Grove Dictionary of Music'', which Larkin describes in less than flattering terms.''The Times'', ''The Knowledge'', Christmas edition, 22 December 2007- 4 January 2008. It was described by ''The Times'' as "the standard against which all others must be judged". History of the encyclopedia Larkin believed that rock music and popular music were at least as significant historically as classical music, and as such, should be given definitive treatment and properly documented. ''The Encyclopedia of Popular Music'' is the result. In 1989, Larkin sold his half of the publishing company Scorpion Books to finance his ambition to publish an encyclopedia of popular music. Aided by a team of initially 70 contributors, he set about compiling the data in a pre-internet age, "relying instead on information gleaned from music magazines, individual expertise a ...
