Par Kenneth Womack, Katie Kapurch. 2016
The Beatles are probably the most photographed band in history and are the subject of numerous biographical studies, but a…
surprising dearth of academic scholarship addresses the Fab Four. New Critical Perspectives on the Beatles offers a collection of original, previously unpublished essays that explore 'new' aspects of the Beatles. The interdisciplinary collection situates the band in its historical moment of the 1960s, but argues for artistic innovation and cultural ingenuity that account for the Beatles' lasting popularity today. Along with theoretical approaches that bridge the study of music with perspectives from non-music disciplines, the texts under investigation make this collection 'new' in terms of Beatles' scholarship. Contributors frequently address under-examined Beatles texts or present critical perspectives on familiar works to produce new insight about the Beatles and their multi-generational audiences.This book is about the tiny sounds of the world and listening to them the minute signals that…
are clues to who and where we are A very small sound given the context of its history becomes hugely significant and even an imagined sound in a picture becomes almost a voice By speaking a name we give a person back to the world and a breath a sigh a laugh or a cry need no language A phoneme is the start of all stories and were we able to tune ourselves to the subtleties of the natural world we might share the super-sensitivity of members of the bird and animal kingdom to sense the message in the apparent silence Mind hears sound when it perceives an image the book will appeal to sonic and radio practitioners students of sound those working in the visual arts and creative writersTeaching Living Legends

Par Robert Greenfield. 2011
The Last Sultan is the definitive biography of a man who changed popular culture throughout the world. As the founder…
and head of Atlantic Records, Ahmet Ertegun signed and/or recorded many of the greatest musical artists of all time, among them Ruth Brown; Big Joe Turner; Ray Charles; Bobby Darin; Sonny and Cher; Eric Clapton; Buffalo Springfield; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; Led Zeppelin; the Rolling Stones; Bette Midler; and Kid Rock. Working alongside his older brother, Nesuhi, one of the preeminent jazz producers of all time, and the legendary Jerry Wexler, who produced great soul artists like Wilson Pickett, Solomon Burke, and Aretha Franklin, Ertegun transformed Atlantic Records from a small independent record label into a hugely profitable multinational corporation. In successive generations, he also served as a mentor to record-business tyros like Phil Spector, David Geffen, and Lyor Cohen. Brilliant, cultured, and irreverent, Ertegun was as renowned for his incredible sense of personal style and nonstop A-list social life as his work in the studio. Born into great privilege as the son of a high-ranking Turkish diplomat during the last days of the Ottoman Empire, Ertegun spent his life bringing the black-roots music he loved to the world. A larger-than-life figure, always hip, Ertegun lived in the grand manner but was never happier than when he found himself in some down-and-out joint listening to music late at night. Blessed with impeccable taste and brilliant business acumen, he brought rock 'n' roll into the mainstream while creating the music that became the sound track for the lives of multiple generations. With supporting characters like Steve Ross, Henry Kissinger, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Jann Wenner, and a host of others, The Last Sultan is the fascinating story of a man who always lived by his own rules.Japanese Music and Musical Instruments

Par Neil Young. 2012

1,500 copies will be printed, making it an essential addition to every music lover’s collection. For the first time, legendary singer, songwriter, and guitarist Neil Young offers a kaleidoscopic view of his personal life and musical creativity. He tells of his childhood in Ontario, where his father instilled in him a love for the written word; his first brush with mortality when he contracted polio at the age of five; struggling to pay rent during his early days with the Squires; traveling the Canadian prairies in Mort, his 1948 Buick hearse; performing in a remote town as a polar bear prowled beneath the floorboards; leaving Canada on a whim in 1966 to pursue his musical dreams in the pot-filled boulevards and communal canyons of Los Angeles; the brief but influential life of Buffalo Springfield, which formed almost immediately after his arrival in California. He recounts their rapid rise to fame and ultimate break-up; going solo and overcoming his fear of singing alone; forming Crazy Horse and writing “Cinnamon Girl,” “Cowgirl in the Sand,” and “Down by the River” in one day while sick with the flu; joining Crosby, Stills & Nash, recording the landmark CSNY album, Déjà vu, and writing the song, “Ohio;” life at his secluded ranch in the redwoods of Northern California and the pot-filled jam sessions there; falling in love with his wife, Pegi, and the birth of his three children; and finally, finding the contemplative paradise of Hawaii. Astoundingly candid, witty, and as uncompromising and true as his music, Waging Heavy Peace is Neil Young’s journey as only he can tell it. .Tocar la guitarra sin saber solfeo

Par Mikal Gilmore. 1997
Few journalists have staked a territory as definitively and passionately as Mikal Gilmore in his twenty-year career writing about rock…
and roll. Now, for the first time, this collection gathers his cultural criticism, interviews, reviews, and assorted musings. Beginning with Elvis and the birth of rock and roll, Gilmore traces the seismic changes in America as its youth responded to the postwar economic and political climate. He hears in the lyrics of Bob Dylan and Jim Morrison the voices of unrest and fervor, and charts the rise and fall of punk in brilliant essays on Lou Reed, The Sex Pistols, and The Clash. Mikal Gilmore describes Bruce Springsteen's America and the problem of Michael Jackson. And like no one else, Gilmore listens to the lone voices: Al Green, Marianne Faithfull, Sinead O'Connor, Frank Sinatra. Four decades of American life are observed through the inimitable lens of rock and roll, and through the provocative and intelligent voice of one of the most committed chroniclers of American music, and its powerful expressions of love, soul, politics, and redemption.In the Pleasure Groove
Par John Taylor. 2012
John Taylor, Duran Duran’s co-founder, takes the reader on a wild ride through his life. From the eighties through today,…
from Rio to All You Need is Now, John writes about the music, the parties, and the MTV videos that made millions swoon. With Duran Duran, John Taylor has created some of the greatest music of our time. From the disco dazzle of debut single ‘Planet Earth’ right up to their latest number one album, All You Need is Now, Duran Duran has always had the power to sweep the world onto its feet. It’s been a ride – and for John in particular, the ride has been wild, thrilling. . . and dangerous. Now, for the first time, he tells his incredible story. A tale of dreams fulfilled, lessons learned and demons conquered. A shy only child, Nigel John Taylor wasn’t an obvious candidate for pop stardom and frenzied girl panic. But when he ditched his first name and picked up a bass guitar, everything changed. John Formed Duran Duran with his friend Nick Rhodes in the summer of 1978, and they were soon joined by Roger Taylor, then Andy Taylor and finally Simon Le Bon. Together they were an immediate, massive global success story, their pictures on millions of walls, every single a worldwide hit. In his frank, compelling autobiography, John recounts the highs –hanging out with icons like Bowie, Warhol and even James Bond; dating Vogue models and driving fast cars – all the while playing hard with the band he loved. But there were tough battles ahead – troubles that brought him to the brink of self-destruction – before turning his life around. Told with humor, honesty and hard-won wisdom, and packed with exclusive pictures, In the Pleasure Groove is a fascinating, irresistible portrait of a man who danced into the fire. . . and came through the other side. .Koltrasten som trodde att den var en ambulans
Par Anders Mildner. 2012
Hur låter världen? Frågan kan tyckas märklig, det är väl bara att lyssna. Problemet är bara att vi aldrig varit…
särskilt duktiga på det, istället har vi i modern tid gjort precis allting för att slippa höra. Boken är en vindlande historia om spöken, militärens ljudvapen, koltrastar som tror att de är ambulanser, sjungande neandertalare, tyska filosofer, arkitektur, döva valar, klasskamp, den onde Kahn från Star Trek och laboratorieframställd popmusik. Med stor träffsäkerhet rör sig berättelsen mellan historia och populärkultur, mellan samhällsfenomen och den personliga reflektionen. Chansen är stor att boken bidrar till att du plötsligt hör sådant som du aldrig tänkt på och börjar förändra hur du arbetar och lever. Du kommer utan tvivel förstå hur vår ljudmiljö faktiskt är ett val som hänger nära ihop med hur vi förhåller oss till samhällsutvecklingen, och vilka som oftast blir vinnare respektive förlorare. Anders Mildner är journalist och författare. Han har bland annat jobbat på Sydsvenskan, Expressen och Svenska Dagbladet. I ett tidigare liv har han drivit musikbolag och spelat trummor i 90-talsbandet Beagle.Los Romeros: Royal Family of the Spanish Guitar (Music in American Life)
Par Walter Aaron Clark. 2018
Spanish émigré guitarist Celedonio Romero gave his American debut performance on a June evening in 1958. In the sixty years…
since, the Romero Family—Celedonio, his wife Angelita, sons Celín, Pepe, and Angel, as well as grandsons Celino and Lito—have become preeminent in the world of Spanish flamenco and classical guitar in the United States. Walter Aaron Clark's in-depth research and unprecedented access to his subjects have produced the consummate biography of the Romero family. Clark examines the full story of their genius for making music, from their outsider's struggle to gain respect for the Spanish guitar to the ins and outs of making a living as musicians. As he shows, their concerts and recordings, behind-the-scenes musical careers, and teaching have reshaped their instrument's very history. At the same time, the Romeros have organized festivals and encouraged leading composers to write works for guitar as part of a tireless, lifelong effort to promote the guitar and expand its repertoire. Entertaining and intimate, Los Romeros opens up the personal world and unfettered artistry of one family and its tremendous influence on American musical culture.The Story of Aftermath Entertainment (Hip-Hop Hitmakers)
Par Robert Grayson. 2013
Dr. Dre was the face of hip-hop by the time he started Aftermath Entertainment in 1996. But like any new…
record label, even one started by a legend, Aftermath had to go through some growing pains before finding its sound. Once it did, Aftermath was on a roll, producing platinum albums by megastars like Eminem and 50 Cent. The record label combined the creativity and fresh material of new rap stars with the special touch only a musical genius like Dr. Dre could add. Born out of the violent era of the West Coast-East Coast rap feud, Aftermath carried Dr. Dre's hopes of creating a record label that focused solely on music, not violence. There were some false starts along the way. But it did not take Aftermath long to introduce some of rap's biggest names to the world and sell millions upon millions of albums.Hip Hop America
