This book provides an `insider’ view of worlds of popular music. It shows the relationship between music, creativity, ideas and localities by looking at cities, independents, genre, globalization and musician’s relationships with each other. Webb examines groups of musicians, audiences and people involved in the music industry and shows the articulation of their position as well as how to understand this theoretically by looking at the city as a centre for music production; the industrial music inspired neo-folk genre; independence and its various meanings as a productive position in the music industry; the globalization of music; and musicians own narratives about working together and dealing with the industry. Utilizing case studies of a variety of different cities -- Bristol, London, New York, San Francisco, Berlin -- and genres -- Trip-hop, Hip-hop, Industrial, Neo-folk -- this volume is a landmark in popular music studies.

The Relentless Purity Workbook is designed to complement the book Relentless Purity. The pair is ideal for a men''s small group study or for anyone who is serious about letting God clean out their heart of sexual lust or even impure motives in a seemingly benign situation. The questions can facilitate meaningful discussions about intriguing topics-- like avoiding pornography, dealing with an infatuation, or having healthy social interactions with women--that may be awkward to bring up elsewhere. These thought-provoking questions allow each group member to compare their personal values and perceptions of societal expectations with the others and to hone their understanding of what God and society expects.

The Relentless Purity Workbook takes you on a journey of getting to know yourself better. The workbook revisits all the main points made in the book but also encourages you to take a closer look at what you believe and why. The author does not tell you what to believe but allows room for the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart, as only He knows your thoughts and motives. We will look at different types of common relationships and situations where temptation may lurk so that you can let God examine your heart for any sinful, or simply unwise, behavior.

The author''s hope is to foster an open and healthy conversation about men''s behaviors around women, whether they are intentional, subconscious, or even misunderstood, and to remove any misguided or subconscious guilt. This is not about shaming people; it''s about helping men to identify and break free from unhealthy and harmful patterns of behavior so that they can enjoy a spiritually, mentally, and socially healthy life.
