All You Need Is a Complete Working Application of FRBR to Music, and Love

Filed under: Blog Mentions, Music — William Denton @ 7:16 am

Who Owns the Work?, a post on the Titles Varies Slightly blog, is a short piece pointing out the interesting job FRBR will have of dealing with the Beatles album Love, which uses parts of 130 different songs to make new remixes and mashups.

“Revolution Number Nine” would be hard to fully describe, too.
