<div>The SMT Popular Music Interest Group has an extensive bibliography, available on the group's website at <a href="http://popmusic.societymusictheory.org/">http://popmusic.societymusictheory.org</a> under "Resources," which includes sections on analysis in general, various musical parameters (form, pitch, rhythm, timbre and texture, text, etc.), and also on specific styles and artists, including Paul Simon. <br>
<br>We also have a brand-new pop-analysis wiki at <a href="http://popmusic.societymusictheory.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page">http://popmusic.societymusictheory.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page</a>. It was just activated last night, so there isn't very much content yet, but I am in the process of moving both the bibliography and the database of pop-music examples for undergraduate theory topics to the wiki. We plan to have pages for individual songs, terms, and possibly more general topics. Any smt-list members doing theoretical or analytical work on popular music are welcome--nay, encouraged--to update or create entries.

First, does anyone know of any theoretical analysis of his music that has been done, or any bibliographic suggestions (particularly of sources from 2000 or later)? Second, has anyone done theoretical analysis of pop music that can offer suggestions on methodology? I appreciate it!<br>
