Seven Years!
This week marks the seven-year anniversary of the launch of my Musoscribe blog. I started it in June 2009, and by July I had settled into my once-a-day posting routine. For seven years since, I’ve posted new content – a feature, interview review or essay – every single business day. About a year ago I moved the blog to a different server, and at that point I added in back-dated content (more reviews and features) from my pre-blogging days; over 135 pieces, in fact. Today, visitors to Musoscribe will find well in excess of 2100 written pieces, including more than 300 interviews. If anything, I’m writing more now than ever before, so if Musoscribe is the kind of thing you might like, there will be more to like in the future. Please explore the site, and if you dig what you find, please invite your musically-inclined friends to do the same. — bk
About the Author
Bill Kopp
With a background in marketing and advertising, Bill Kopp got his professional start writing for Trouser Press. After a stint as Editor-in-chief for a national music magazine, Bill launched Musoscribe in 2009, and has published new content every business day since then (and every single day since 2018). The 4500-plus interviews, essays, and reviews on Musoscribe reflect Bill's keen interest in American musical forms, most notably rock, jazz, and soul. His work features a special emphasis on reissues and vinyl. Bill's work also appears in many other outlets both online and in print. He regularly hosts lecture/discussions on artists and albums of historical importance (including monthly events Music to Your Ears and Music Movie Mondays), and is a frequent guest on music-focused radio programs and podcasts. In Spring 2023 he taught a history of Rock 'n' Roll at UNC Asheville's College for Seniors. He also researches and authors liner notes for album reissues -- more than 30 to date -- and co-produced a reissue of jazz legend Julian "Cannonball" Adderley's final album. His first book, Reinventing Pink Floyd: From Syd Barrett to The Dark Side of the Moon was published by Rowman & Littlefield in 2018, and in paperback in 2019. His second book, Disturbing the Peace: 415 Records and the Rise of New Wave, was published in 2021 by HoZac Books. His third book, What's the Big Idea: Great Concept Albums will be published in 2024.
