I was looking all over to find a "submit your own press release" button, and then I figured that he may have faked the link, but nope.

NBC has a content-sharing deal with Marketwire, a firm that automatically releases press releases. I doubt anyone at NBC ever actually looked at the article or approved it. Just an automatic bullshit thing.

Yeah, I saw the copyright notice and figured it was something like that.

Jesus, couldn't they have picked a more culture appropriate cover design? Just some chick in exercise clothing doing yoga.

"As at 2012, House music has..."
Wow. Poor grammar right at the start.
Edit: Reading further down (with Amazon's 'look inside' feature, of course), it comes off like an entry level college essay. And for fuck's sakes, 'TRANCE HOUSE'??? And I quote:
quote:
Trance House is a style (subgenre) of House music that originated from the Chicago House scene of 1986.
Straight LOLs.

i know its fun and all to criticize this guy, but in writing this book, he's probably done a lot more for the genre than most of us have. i can't even bring myself to write an essay. he deserves some credit.

Yeah, total credit with plumb claims such as this:
quote:
Dave Clarke for example, a misinformed Techno DJ, made some public comment at some point about Trance: "I think all trance DJs deep down are embarrassed by what they play. They take it on the chin! They know deep down they're playing watered-down techno." Dave Clarke's comment is false, add to the fact he knows very little about Trance. Trance has very little to do with Techno. His comment is also a falsity being that Trance is historically older than Techno. How could Trance be watered-down techno if it came before Techno.
