Title: The Name of This Band Is R.E.M.: A Biography Author: Peter Ames Carlin Narrator: Mike Chamberlain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 3 minutes Release date: November 5, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: An electrifying cultural biography of the greatest and last American rock band of the millennium, whose music ignited a generation—and reasserted the power of rock and roll '[Carlin's] unique gift for capturing the sweep and tenor of a cultural moment...is here on brilliant display.' —Michael Chabon In the spring of 1980, an unexpected group of musical eccentrics came together to play their very first performance at a college party in Athens, Georgia. Within a few short years, they had taken over the world – with smash records like Out of Time, Automatic for the People, Monster and Green. Raw, outrageous, and expressive, R.E.M.’s distinctive musical flair was unmatched, and a string of mega-successes solidified them as generational spokesmen. In the tumultuous transition between the wide-open 80s and the anxiety of the early 90s, R.E.M. challenged the corporate and social order, chasing a vision and cultivating a magnetic, transgressive sound. In this rich, intimate biography, critically acclaimed author Peter Ames Carlin looks beyond the sex, drugs, and rock’n’roll to open a window into the fascinating lives of four college friends – Michael Stipe, Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Bill Berry – who stuck together at any cost, until the end. Deeply descriptive and remarkably poetic, steeped in 80s and 90s nostalgia, The Name of This Band is R.E.M. paints a cultural history of the commercial peak and near-total collapse of a great music era, and the story of the generation that came of age at the apotheosis of rock.

Title: Carson the Magnificent Author: Bill Zehme Narrator: Johnny Heller Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 11 minutes Release date: November 5, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A much-anticipated biography—twenty years in the making—of the entertainer who redefined late-night television and reshaped American culture. In 2002, Bill Zehme landed one of the most coveted assignments for a magazine writer: an interview with Johnny Carson—the only one he’d granted since retiring from hosting The Tonight Show a decade earlier. Zehme was tapped for the Esquire feature story thanks to his years of legendary celebrity profiles, and the resulting piece portrayed Carson as more human being than showbiz legend. Shortly after Carson’s death in 2005 and urged on by many of those closest to Carson, Zehme signed a contract to do an expansive biography. He toiled on the book for nearly a decade—interviewing dozens of Carson’s colleagues and friends and filling up a storage locker with his voluminous research—before a cancer diagnosis and ongoing treatments halted his progress. When he died in 2023 his obituaries mentioned the Carson book, with New York Times comedy critic Jason Zinoman calling it “one of the great unfinished biographies.” Yet the hundreds of pages Zehme managed to complete are astounding both for the caliber of their writing and how they illuminate one of the most inscrutable figures in entertainment history: A man who brought so much joy and laughter to so many millions but was himself exceedingly shy and private. Zehme traces Carson’s rise from a magic-obsessed Nebraska boy to a Navy ensign in World War II to a burgeoning radio and TV personality to, eventually, host of The Tonight Show—which he transformed, along with the entirety of American popular culture, over the next three decades. Without Carson, there would be no late-night television as we know it. On a much more intimate level, Zehme also captures the turmoil and anguish that accompanied the success: four marriages, troubles with alcohol, and the devastating loss of a child. In one passage, Zehme notes that when asked by an interviewer in the mid-80s for the secret to his success, Carson replied simply, “Be yourself and tell the truth.” Completed with help from journalist and Zehme’s former research assistant Mike Thomas, Carson the Magnificent offers just that: an honest assessment of who Johnny Carson really was.

Title: [German] - Erahir: Die Legenden der Samerier 4 Series: #4 of Die Legenden der Samerier Author: Nina Meiroth Narrator: Maximilian Klampfl Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 16 minutes Release date: November 1, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Auf dem Schlachtfeld gibt es keine Heldentode. Nareth hat sein Dasein als Söldner und den Krieg hinter sich gelassen. Zumindest für den Augenblick. Denn in Kadashar schreitet jener Zwist voran, den er vor Jahren hat wachsen sehen und dessen Auswirkungen er mit Sorge beobachtet. Viel früher als ihm lieb ist, bittet sein Bruder – der König Zessalonns – ihn um Hilfe. Immerhin kennt Nareth den Wüstenkontinent im Süden wie kaum ein anderer. Doch um den Frieden zu wahren, muss er nicht nur die Kadasher beschwichtigen, auch seine eigenen Leute scheinen zusehends gewillter, sich mit dem Schwert Gehör zu verschaffen. Bald schon steht er allein zwischen verhärteten Fronten. Dabei ist er es, den sie im Stillen als 'geweihte Klinge', als 'Sohn des Zorns' bezeichnen. Wüssten sie doch nur, was es bedeutet, wenn er diesen Namen Ehre macht.

Title: Every Valley: The Desperate Lives and Troubled Times That Made Handel's Messiah Author: Charles King Narrator: Juliet Stevenson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 46 minutes Release date: October 29, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS' CHOICE • From the bestselling historian and National Book Critics Circle Award finalist Charles King, the moving untold story of the eighteenth-century men and women behind the making of Handel’s Messiah 'A delicious history of music, power, love, genius, royalty and adventure.'—Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of The World 'A book of power and glory, brimming with emotion and dazzling in its reach.'—Stacy Schiff, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Cleopatra and The Revolutionary George Frideric Handel’s Messiah is arguably the greatest piece of participatory art ever created. Adored by millions, it is performed each year by renowned choirs and orchestras, as well as by audiences singing along with the words on their cell phones. But this work of triumphant joy was born in a worried age. Britain in the early Enlightenment was a place of astonishing creativity but also the seat of an empire mired in war, enslavement, and conflicts over everything from the legitimacy of government to the meaning of truth. Against this turbulent background, prize-winning author Charles King has crafted a cinematic drama of the troubled lives that shaped a masterpiece of hope. Every Valley presents a depressive dissenter stirred to action by an ancient prophecy; an actress plagued by an abusive husband and public scorn; an Atlantic sea captain and penniless philanthropist; and an African Muslim man held captive in the American colonies and hatching a dangerous plan for getting back home. At center stage is Handel himself, composer to kings but, at midlife, in ill health and straining to keep an audience’s attention. Set amid royal intrigue, theater scandals, and political conspiracy, Every Valley is entertaining, inspiring, unforgettable.

Title: Quantum Criminals: Ramblers, Wild Gamblers, and Other Sole Survivors from the Songs of Steely Dan Author: Joan Lemay, Alex Pappademas Narrator: Michael Butler Murray Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 51 minutes Release date: October 15, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Steely Dan's songs are exercises in fictional world-building. No one else in the classic-rock canon has conjured a more vivid cast of rogues and heroes, creeps and schmucks, lovers and dreamers and cold-blooded operators—or imbued their characters with so much humanity. Pulling from history, lived experience, pulp fiction, the lore of the counterculture, and their own darkly comic imaginations, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker summoned protagonists who seemed like fully formed people with complicated pasts, scars they don't talk about, delusions and desires and memories they can't shake. Every name is a locked-room mystery, beguiling listeners and earning the band an exceptionally passionate and growing cult fandom. Quantum Criminals presents the world of Steely Dan as it has never been seen, much less heard. Artist Joan LeMay has crafted lively, color-saturated images of her favorite characters from the Daniverse to accompany writer Alex Pappademas's explorations of the famous and obscure songs that inspired each painting, in short essays full of cultural context, wild speculation, inspired dot-connecting, and the occasional conspiracy theory. All of it is refracted through the perspectives of the characters, making for a musical companion unlike any other. Quantum Criminals is a singular celebration of Steely Dan's musical cosmos.

Title: The Silver Snarling Trumpet: The Birth of the Grateful Dead—The Lost Manuscript of Robert Hunter Author: Robert Hunter Narrator: Brigid Meier, Dennis Mcnally, John Mayer, Fred Berman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 18 minutes Release date: October 8, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Discovered at last, the legendary lost manuscript of Grateful Dead co-founder and primary lyricist Robert Hunter, written in the early 1960s—a wry, richly observed, and enlightening remembrance of “the scene” in Palo Alto that gave rise to an incredible partnership of Hunter and Jerry Garcia, and then to the Grateful Dead itself—with a Foreword by John Mayer, an Introduction by Dennis McNally, and an Afterword by Brigid Meier.   “Strange to think back on those days when it was perfectly natural that we all slept on the floor in one small room.... These were the days before practical considerations, matters of ‘importance,’ began to eat our minds. We were all poets and philosophers then, until we began to wonder why we had so few concrete worries and went out to look for some.” So wrote Robert Hunter in The Silver Snarling Trumpet, both a novelistic singular work of art and the missing piece of the Grateful Dead origin story. In these pages, readers are privy to the early days of Hunter, Garcia, and their cohorts, who sit at coffee shops passing around a single cup of bottomless coffee because they lacked the funds for more than one. Follow these truth-seeking souls into the stacks at Kepler’s Books, renting instruments at Swain’s House of Music, and through the countryside on mind-expanding road trips. Witness impromptu jams, inspired intellectual pranks, and a dialogue that is, by turns, amusing and brilliant and outrageous. Hunter shares his impressions of his first gig with Garcia for a college audience, along with descriptions of his most intense dreams and psychedelic explorations. All of it, enlivened by Hunter’s visionary spirit and profound ideas about creativity and collaboration. The lost manuscript is augmented with a Foreword by John Mayer, an Introduction by Dennis McNally, and an Afterword by Brigid Meier, who was part of their scene in the San Francisco Bay Area that served as a bridge from the beatniks to the hippies. Also included is Hunter’s own 1982 assessment of his work—about how he shared it with close confidants but then decided to leave it unpublished. Five years after Hunter’s death, the text has been found, so readers and fans of Hunter’s indelible poetry and song can explore the origin of his genius and his craft.

Title: Walking Disaster: My Life Through Heaven and Hell Author: Deryck Whibley Narrator: Deryck Whibley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 20 minutes Release date: October 8, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.67 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: This candid memoir of music, fame, and endurance from Deryck Whibley, lead singer of Sum 41, follows his rise from a punk kid to an international star. From his earliest days growing up in Canada, Deryck Whibley was a punk who loved music and couldn’t wait to achieve something bigger and better than the humble path that lay before him. Whibley was raised by a single mom and their small family constantly moved from place to place, so he was used to being the new kid, starting fights (or finishing them), and connecting with people who shared his sensibility for chaotic fun and loud music. Sum 41 was born of a group of friends who loved to jam, shared a DIY ethos, and were determined to be rock stars one day. Walking Disaster is Whibley’s story, but it is also the untold story of Sum 41. Whibley takes you backstage, into the recording booth, and through the highest highs and lowest lows of the band whose story is inextricably woven with his own. With his insightful, earnest, and genuine voice, Whibley gets real about fame, fortune, and the music industry. Detailing everything from winning at the MTV Video Music Awards and being nominated for a Grammy to revisiting his high-profile relationships and friendships, contending with invasive paparazzi, and suffer­ing from health issues that brought him to the brink, Whibley offers a forthright and unforget­table memoir.

But long before the show was the toast of Broadway and the winner of three Tony Awards, it was an idea threatening to fizzle before it could find its way into existence. Now, in The Spamalot Diaries, Eric Idle shares original journal entries and raw email exchanges—all featuring his whip-smart wit—revealing the sometimes bumpy, always entertaining, path to the show’s unforgettable run. In the months leading up to that opening night, financial anxieties were high, with a low-ceiling budget and expectations that it would take two years to break even. Collaborative disputes put decades-long friendships to the test. And the endless process of rewriting was a task as passionate as it was painstaking. Still, there’s nothing Idle would change about that year. Except for the broken ankle. He could do without the broken ankle. Chronicling every minor mishap and triumph along the way, as well as the creative tension that drove the show to new heights, The Spamalot Diaries is an unforgettable look behind the curtain of a beloved musical and inside the wickedly entertaining mind of one of our most treasured comic performers.

For five years after they’d swapped sought-after apprenticeships for life on the dole, brothers William and Jim Reid sat up till the early hours in the front room of their parents’ East Kilbride council house, plotting their path to world domination over endless cups of tea, with the music turned down low so as not to wake their sleeping sister. They knew they couldn’t play in the same band because they’d argue too much, so they’d describe their dream ensembles to each other until finally they realized that these two perfect bands were actually the same band. The name of that band was The Jesus and Mary Chain. The rest was not silence, and picking up those conversations again more than forty years later, William and Jim tell the full story of one of Britain’s greatest guitar bands for the very first time – a wildly funny and improbably moving chronicle of brotherly strife, feedback, riots, drug and alcohol addiction, eternal outsiders and extreme shyness, that also somehow manages to be a love letter to the Scottish working-class family.

Named after his well-respected father who disappeared when he was two, Wallo grew up in North Philadelphia with his mom, brothers, and grandmother, feeling pressure to achieve the success and reputation his father had on the streets.

Was für ein wunderbares musikalisches Jahrzehnt. Die beiden Hosts Falk und Ryll präsentieren im aktuellen Album 13 außergewöhnliche Lieblingssongs der 80er mit den Geschichten ihrer Gäste. Mit 'Kayleigh' von Marillion hat Regine Brühl eine wahre Hymne aus den Achtziger-Jahren als ihren Lieblingssong ausgewählt. Dirk Neuß erzählt, was ihn fasziniert an den Tubes und 'Don't want to wait anymore'. Warum 'Hallelujah' von Leonard Cohen für Patricia Küll Veränderung bedeutet hat, das erzählt sie Falk&Ryll. Wer in den Achtzigern seine Jugend erlebt hat, der wird auch den großen Rocksong der Kölner Band BAP kennen. Für Frank Koch wurde 'Verdamp lang her' sein persönlicher Lieblingssong. 'Money for nothing' auf dem Dire Straits-Album 'Brothers in arms': Wer sich mit dem Text von dem Song beschäftigt und dann die persönliche Geschichte von Sylvia Adamec hört, wird überrascht sein. Französischer Pop gehört auch auf dieses Album, denn die 80er waren für Mylène Farmer Start in eine große Karriere: 'Pourvu qu'elles soient douces' ist für Melanie Hoen bis heute ihr absoluter Lieblingssong. Rudi Dolezal hat nicht nur das Musikvideo zu 'Friends will be friends' produziert, sondern war auch sehr gut mit Freddie Mercury befreundet. Also kein Wunder, dass der Lieblingssong von Rudi auch ein Queen-Song ist. Mit 'Jump' von der Hard-Rock-Band Van Halen verbindet Rudi Jagusch, wie er seine Frau kennengelernt hat. Die Rainbirds: mit ihrer Single 'Blueprint' tauchen sie als neuer Stern am deutschen Pophimmel auf. Maf Räderscheidt erzählt, warum gerade 'Blueprint' bis heute ihr Lieblingssong ist. 'Fragile' von Sting hat bis heute an Aktualität nichts verloren, deswegen ist der Song für Peter Brings sein Lieblingssong. Außerdem auf diesem Album persönliche Geschichten um 'Wicked Game' von Chris Isaak, 'Cloudbusting' von Kate Bush mit Karsten Brandt und letztlich 'Mr. Roboto' von Styx mit Matz Kastning.

Title: Written in Water: The Ephemeral Life of the Classic in Art Author: Rochelle Gurstein Narrator: Stephen Graybill Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 20 hours 43 minutes Release date: July 30, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A deeply personal yet broadly relevant exploration of the ephemeral life of the classic in art, from the eighteenth century to our own day Is there such a thing as a timeless classic? More than a decade ago, Rochelle Gurstein set out to explore and establish a solid foundation for the classic in the history of taste. To her surprise, that history instead revealed repeated episodes of soaring and falling reputations, rediscoveries of long-forgotten artists, and radical shifts in the canon, all of which went so completely against common knowledge that it was hard to believe it was true. Where does the idea of the timeless classic come from? And how has it become so fiercely contested? By recovering disputes about works of art from the eighteenth century to the close of the twentieth, Gurstein takes us into unfamiliar aesthetic and moral terrain, providing a richly imagined historical alternative to accounts offered by both cultural theorists advancing attacks on the politics of taste and those who continue to cling to the ideal of universal values embodied in the classic. As Gurstein brings to life the competing responses of generations of artists, art lovers, and critics to specific works of art, she makes us see the same object vividly and directly through their eyes and feel, in all its enlarging intensity, what they felt.

Title: Playin' Possum: My Memories of George Jones Author: Nancy Jones, Ken Abraham Narrator: Maria Ru-Djen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 17 minutes Release date: July 16, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 2 of Total 1 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: In Playin' Possum, readers get an intimate look at country music legend George Jones through the eyes of his wife of thirty years. Ask anyone who knows country music, “Who was the GOAT—the greatest of all time?” and the answers will inevitably lead to George Jones. Millions of people know the name of the iconic country music artist, George Jones, but few people know that behind the man and his golden voice was a strong, feisty woman who not only saved his life from cocaine addiction, alcoholism, and other abusive and self-destructive behaviors, but also was instrumental in saving his soul. Legends, half-truths, and downright lies abound about the iconic singer, but what secrets do people not know about him? What was it like to live with him through the darkest shadows and in the brightest of lights? Married for more than thirty years to the greatest country music singer who ever lived, the man Frank Sinatra had whimsically referred to as “the second-greatest singer in America,” Nancy Jones knew George Jones better than anyone else on earth—the good George and the bad George, the horrendous, and the hilarious. George and Nancy married March 4, 1983, and with her help and encouragement, he quit his wild and wicked ways—for a while. Nancy soon learned, however, that the demons held a strong grip on the man she loved, and they were not about to release him without a fight. But Nancy Jones is a tenacious fighter, and most people who knew “the Possum,” credit Nancy with saving his life and rebuilding his career. For the first time, in Playin' Possum, Nancy Jones reveals the true “insider” perspectives and little known poignant and as well as humorous stories about the country music icon—his battles with cocaine, alcohol, abusive behavior toward her and others, his battles with himself, and most of all, his battles against the demons that sought to control him and ultimately destroy him.

Title: Prairie Man: My Little House Life & Beyond Author: Dean Butler Narrator: Dean Butler Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 7 minutes Release date: July 16, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: An illuminating, insider's journey through the world of Little House on the Prairie and beyond, from Dean Butler, who starred as Almanzo Wilder on the iconic show still beloved by millions of fans as it reaches its fiftieth anniversary. Cast just before his twenty-third birthday, Dean Butler joined Little House on the Prairie halfway through its run, gaining instant celebrity and fans' enduring affection. Now, with wit and candor, Butler recounts his passage through the Prairie, sharing stories and anecdotes of the remarkable cast who were his on-screen family. But that was merely the beginning of a diverse career that includes Broadway runs and roles on two other classic shows—Moondoggie in The New Gidget and Buffy's ne'er-do-well father, Hank, in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Coming of age during a golden era of entertainment, Butler has evolved along with it, and today enjoys success and fulfillment as a director and producer—notably of NBC Golf's Feherty—while remaining deeply loyal to Little House. The warmth, heart, and decency that fans of Laura and Almanzo fell in love with on Little House echo through this uplifting memoir, a story, in Butler's words, about 'good luck, good television, and the very good—if gloriously imperfect—people who made it so.'

Title: [German] - Look What She Made Us Do: Über Taylor Swift Author: Anne Sauer Narrator: Alina Hidic Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 21 minutes Release date: July 16, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Sie bricht alle Rekorde der Musikgeschichte, füllt die größten Stadien der Welt und wird von Donald Trump gefürchtet: Taylor Swift ist das größte, einflussreichste Pop-Phänomen unserer Zeit. Wie wurde aus einem Mädchen mit Gitarre der Weltstar, dem heute Millionen von Fans zu Füßen liegen - und warum ist es eigentlich so cool, «Swiftie» zu sein? Bookfluencerin und Swiftie Anne Sauer untersucht ihre eigene Verbindung zu Taylor Swift und macht sich auf eine persönliche Reise durch die «Eras» der letzten zwei Jahrzehnte. In 13 Kapiteln zeichnet sie die Geschichte des Phänomens nach, widmet sich der musikalischen Entwicklung Swifts, nimmt die Rezeption des Popstars und das eigene Fantum kritisch in den Blick. Was heißt es, sich als Künstlerin ständig neu erfinden zu müssen? Woher kommt das Bedürfnis, einen so einzigartigen Erfolg kleinreden zu wollen? Und was sagt es über Kritiker:innen aus, die nur darauf warten, eine Frau scheitern zu sehen?

Sammon Narrator: Todd Mclaren Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 25 hours 2 minutes Release date: July 9, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Ridley Scott's 1992 'Director's Cut' confirmed the international film cognoscenti's judgment: Blade Runner, based on Philip K.

Title: Get Shown the Light: Improvisation and Transcendence in the Music of the Grateful Dead Author: Michael Kaler Narrator: Steve Menasche Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 36 minutes Release date: July 9, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Of all the musical developments of rock in the 1960s, one in particular fundamentally changed the music's structure and listening experience: the incorporation of extended improvisation into live performances. While many bands—including Cream, Pink Floyd, and the Velvet Underground—stretched out their songs with improvisations, no band was more identified with the practice than the Grateful Dead. In Get Shown the Light Michael Kaler examines how the Dead's dedication to improvisation stemmed from their belief that playing in this manner enabled them to touch upon transcendence. Drawing on band testimonials and analyses of early recordings, Kaler traces how the Dead developed an approach to playing music that they believed would facilitate their spiritual goals. He focuses on the band's early years, the significance of their playing Ken Kesey's Acid Test parties, and their evolving exploration of the myriad musical and spiritual possibilities that extended improvisation afforded. Kaler demonstrates that the Grateful Dead developed a radical new way of playing rock music as a means to unleash the spiritual and transformative potential of their music.

Title: Home and Alone Author: Daniel Stern Narrator: Daniel Stern Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 36 minutes Release date: July 9, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Daniel Stern's connection with audiences is cemented in movies like Home Alone and City Slickers, and in his debut memoir, Home and Alone, he is the Everyman narrator on a ride into the human side of Hollywood. Experience what it's like driving Robert Redford in his Porsche at 100 mph, or stripping down for a nude scene in front of a group of strangers. Share the out-of-body moments of flying alone with Mel Gibson on his jet to Las Vegas and smashing a fake mustache onto Gary Busey's face while cursing him out on the pitcher's mound of Wrigley Field. Join him in his triumphant stories like conquering his dyslexia as the voice of The Wonder Years, and his terrifying ones like being sued for $25 million by CBS and Columbia pictures. His insights into marriage, children, parents, and parenting are not only hilarious, but packed with subtle wisdom. But the real surprises are in Stern's off-screen roles as a bronze sculptor, cattle rancher, avocado farmer, and public servant. The hard work and commitment he has put into his on-screen successes are applied with the same intensity to every aspect of his life. From creating monumental public art projects and founding a Boys & Girls Club to visiting troops in Iraq and learning to birth a cow, he has lived it all. Home and Alone is for anyone who needs reminding that nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it.

Title: [Spanish] - La nueva música clásica: 1968 / 1985 Author: José Agustín Narrator: Memo Prado Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 23 minutes Release date: July 4, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Prólogo de Alberto Blanco Coda de José Agustín Ramírez La nueva música clásica es una exploración personal y profunda sobre el rock: la revolución musical que comenzó en los añoscincuenta con el rock ’n’ roll, le dio la vuelta al mundo en los sesenta montada en los hombros de los Beatles y transformó para siempre la música popular con las experimentaciones del movimiento hippie, más los que le siguieron. Esta crítica-crónica, hoy tan clásica como la música sobre la que reflexiona, fue escrita por José Agustín en dos versiones, ambas con el mismo título y el mismo objetivo ―examinar a detalle la esencia de la música―, pero separadas por el tiempo: la primera en 1968, en el auge de la década dorada del rock, y la segunda en 1985, cuando su permanencia en el gusto universal estaba más que asegurada. Con esta edición integral, revisada y complementada, celebramos la música como vehículo de expresión artística y a José Agustín como un autor visionario.

Their pursuit of one of the greatest bands ever unknown takes them down many a bizarre path teeming with grand ideas and grander egos in this ode to record shopping and what it’s like to be in your first band. Packed with puns, allusions, and references across a wide range of culture, both popular and not, Stone offers up a big slice of the fun and frustration of playing rock n roll.

Title: About Man and God and Law: The Spiritual Wisdom of Bob Dylan Author: Stephen Daniel Arnoff Narrator: Jim Denison Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 41 minutes Release date: June 25, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: About Man and God and Law is the story of how Bob Dylan sparked a revolution of the spirit and why it matters today. Many of our assumptions about empathy, sensual pleasure, and the essence of work, community, country, race, and the divine have germinated in Bob Dylan's need to know what's blowing in the wind and how it feels. Tracing his work and vision through themes that have shaped religious and cultural history for millennia, Stephen Daniel Arnoff uncovers how Bob Dylan has re-enchanted ancient questions of meaning and purpose throughout popular culture, inspiring a pantheon of prophetic musicians along the way. This field guide to Dylan's spiritual wisdom aims to make good on the promise that if we look closely enough at his body of work—precisely at a moment when the world we thought we knew seems like uncharted territory—we can open up our eyes to see not only where we really are, but where we need to go.

Title: All the Years Combine: The Grateful Dead in Fifty Shows Author: Ray Robertson Narrator: Christopher Grove Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 0 minutes Release date: June 25, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A Grateful Dead concert, Ray Robertson argues, is life. Like life, it can be alternately compelling and lackluster; familiar and foreign; occasionally sublime and sometimes insipid. Although the Grateful Dead stopped the day Jerry Garcia's heart did, what the band left behind is the next best thing to being there in the third row, courtesy of the group's unorthodox decision to record all of their concerts. Meaning that it's possible to follow the band's evolution (and devolution) through their shows, from the R&B-based garage band at the beginning, to the jazz-rock conjurers at their creative peak, to the lumbering monolith of their decline. In All the Years Combine: The Grateful Dead in Fifty Shows, Robertson listens to and writes ecstatically about fifty of the band's most important and memorable concerts in order to better understand who the Grateful Dead were, what they became, and what they meant—and what they continue to mean.

Title: Living Room Legends: Chats With TV's Famous Faces Author: Eddie Lucas Narrator: Matt Granato Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 49 minutes Release date: June 14, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Millions of baby boomers the world over grew up with the same electronic babysitter—the living room television. Stop any number of people on the street and ask them to do one of the following: recite the preamble to the Constitution, or sing the theme song to the Beverly Hillbillies. If history is any indication, the Hillbillies will emerge the conquering champions. Television was a special part of our childhood. It whisked us into worlds beyond our own. We were introduced to a flying nun, hillbillies who swam in a “cee-ment” pond, and a household of lovable green monsters who thought themselves the typical American family. We fell in love with these endearing characters and welcomed them into our living rooms with open arms, and to this day, their funny and familiar faces retain a special place in our memories and our hearts. As a classic television fan and historian, I wanted to delve deeper to find out more about these special friends, and go beyond what had previously been written in articles and books to find the answers to questions that casual, as well as die-hard fans have always wanted to ask. I wished to capture their first-hand accounts and preserve for posterity the historical significance of their time on some of the most beloved shows in television history. Through this book, I hope that TV fans of all ages will share in my enthusiasm at attempting to capture these golden moments, and savor the rich oral history of these small screen classics conveyed by those who were there--and that their memories and anecdotes will continue to enlighten, entertain, and endure for generations to come.
