The long awaited memoir from Simple Minds founder members and lifelong collaborators Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill

''People say to me, if you could do it all again, knowing what you know now, would you change anything? I''m like, f*** no. If I''d been clean and sober, I wouldn''t be Ozzy. If I''d done normal, sensible things, I wouldn''t be Ozzy. Look, if it ends tomorrow, I can''t complain. I''ve been all around the world. Seen a lot of things. I''ve done good... and I''ve done bad. But right now, I''m not ready to go anywhere.''At the age of sixty-nine, Ozzy Osbourne was on a triumphant farewell tour, playing to sold-out arenas and rave reviews all around the world. Then: disaster. In a matter of just a few weeks, he went from being hospitalised with a finger infection to having to abandon his tour - and all public life - as he faced near-total paralysis from the neck down. Last Rites is the shocking, bitterly hilarious, never-before-told story of Ozzy''s descent into hell. Along the way, he reflects on his extraordinary life and career, including his marriage to wife Sharon, alongside his reflections on what it took for him to get back onstage for the triumphant Back to the Beginning concert, streamed around the world, where Ozzy reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates for the final time. Unflinching, brutally honest, but surprisingly life-affirming, Last Rites demonstrates once again why Ozzy has transcended his status as ''The Godfather of Metal'' and ''The Prince of Darkness'' to become a modern-day folk hero and national treasure.

Un libro que se lee, se canta, se escucha y se baila. Esta antología es un viaje por cuatro décadas y 46 discos de la historia de la música independiente. Dicen que el indie ya no existe. O al menos ya no es lo que era. Pero, ¿que es es el indie? ¿Ha muerto o sigue vivo? ¿Y eso de la musica alternativa? Con este libro recordaras aquellas noches de incendio, te emocionaras, discutiras con tus amigos (y con el autor) y volveras a tus listas de reproduccion y a tus polvorientos discos una y otra vez. Nani Castañeda, musico y baterista de Niños Mutantes, hace su particular antologia de los 46 discos imprescindibles del panorama nacional desde finales de los 80 hasta el 2020 y de una buena lista de internacionales en este libro intergeneracional. Un homenaje a esa musica nacida de entre las grietas de la "gran" industria musical, que la revitaliza y la eleva... ¿todavia?Criticas: "Apasionado y apasionante, vehemente y sincero, siempre a ritmo: solo a un musico loco se le ocurre escribir asi sobre sus colegas de escena y actitud". Carlos Zanon "Todo pasa. Es el amor y la pasion por la musica (como la que desprende Nanien estas lineas) lo que permanece en cada relevo generacional. Lo necesario para que la musica siga viva". Albaro Arizaleta, El Columpio Asesino. "¿Se puede escuchar un libro? En el caso de 'Indilogia: una antologia de la musica alternativa española', la respuesta es si (...)Leer Indilogia sin escucharla seria perderse la mitad del viaje". Granada Hoy

En Mozart, Patrick Mackie nos traslada al fastuoso y embriagador siglo XVIII para profundizar en la vida y obra de uno de los compositores más deslumbrantes e influyentes de la historia de la música. Desde su juventud en Salzburgo, su viaje a Paris con su madre, la dificil relacion con su padre, sus aventuras amorosas, su matrimonio con Constanze Weber, sus operas y composiciones para teclado, hasta sus ultimos años y su prematura muerte acaecida en 1791, la vida de Mozart estuvo abocada casi por entero al trabajo como compositor, profesor, interprete, director y productor. Sin embargo, no es posible comprender esa vida fuera del contexto de una Europa que esta inmersa en las corrientes de pensamiento ilustradas, asiste al progresivo declive de Francia, a la inestabilidad de Jose II, emperador del Sacro Imperio Romano Germanico, y, por extension, de la Viena de los Habsburgo. En aquella epoca de transicion musical del Barroco al Clasicismo, Mozart fue un innovador. Su produccion abarca practicamente todos los generos musicales de su tiempo. Patrick Mackie abre una nueva via de reflexion acerca de la vida y la obra del compositor y pone de manifiesto su talento para trascender las estructuras musicales tradicionales y crear melodias complejas, en las que auna lo clasico y lo vanguardista, una de las muchas razones por las que, hoy en dia, Mozart sigue siendo una fuente de inspiracion para musicos y oyentes de todo el mundo.
