La última y más profunda biografía sobre la mítica banda The Velvet Underground que revolucionó los parámetros de la música para siempre, publicada con motivo del 10º aniversario de la muerte de Lou Reed.Una extraordinaria obra que se sumerge en la naturaleza vanguardista del grupo, de como impusieron un lenguaje que rompia con lo heteronormativo, su aportacion al feminismo a traves de Moe Tucker y Nico, de como Lou Reed introdujo la literatura en el rock y como Cale relaciono las musicas de vanguardia, de como crean el patron de lo que años mas tarde sera la musica independiente, a la vez que plantaron las semillas del glam y el punk, y de como la influencia de Warhol sobre la Velvet origina un modelo que muchas otras bandas neoyorquinas como Blondie o Talking Heads aplicaron a su manera. En definitiva, una historia apasionante que ocurre en un lugar ?Nueva York?, y un momento de la historia ?los años sesenta?, que se desarrolla como un drama humano ?amistad, celos, juegos de poder, pasiones? que terminaran dejando una huella profunda en la cultura futura.

Variation is a fundamental musical principle, yet its most naked expression - variation form - resists all but the broadest of descriptions. This book offers listener, performer, analyst and composer an eclectic array of approaches to `Theme and Variations', including: patterns of departure and return; real versus perceived time; strategies of propulsion and closure in an intrinsically cyclic and open-ended form; the interplay of authorial voices deriving from dialogue between the `self' of variations and the `other' of their theme; critique of a theme through a set's generic references; drama and narrative achieved through textural and tonal control; and the intrinsic sound of a variation, so different from that of a freely composed work. These topics are introduced through a general survey of the form, seen through the prisms of the provenance of themes and the ideologies of sets, before being developed through close study of Brahms's variation sets and movements. Brahms was supremely aware of his place in music history and was uncommonly self-conscious in his manipulation of different techniques of composition. His variation sets - some of the most well-crafted and beloved examples - place the interplay of forms and styles at the heart of their identity. Moreover, in their stunning breadth and diversity they offer a microcosm of Brahms's entire output, a succinct revelation of his life-long concerns. Through them we marvel at his technical and poetic mastery, and journey to the heart of his creative character.

Rock singer Melissa Etheridge has been the poster child for celebrity lesbians since she came out in the early 1990s; that her sexual orientation had been an open secret for some time, and that her songs carry a rock-solid, almost traditional Midwestern vibe, enabled her to avoid most of the opprobrium usually dished out to well-known homosexuals. Her career has included Grammy awards, a performance at a gay inaugural ball for President Clinton, and outspoken advocacy for gay rights. From its opening pages, where she reveals the childhood physical and sexual abuse she received from her older sister, THE TRUTH IS... is a sometimes harrowing but always honest account of a life fraught with both difficulty and triumph. Etheridge writes frankly, humorously, and viscerally about her growing awareness of her lesbianism, about how her sexuality informs her songwriting, and about her long relationship with Julie Cypher, with whom she had two children (with sperm donated by none other than singer-songwriter David Crosby), and from whom she separated in 2000. By turns philosophical and realistic, THE TRUTH IS... is a candid recounting of the life of this pioneering singer and personality.

My Chemical Romance are the most significant band in alternative rock for the last decade, selling 5 million albums and selling out arenas worldwide until their split after twelve years together. Author Tom Bryant has been given unparalleled access to the band over the course of their extraordinary career and has a unique archive of interviews with Gerard Way and his brother Mikey, Ray Toro and Frank Iero, as well as their friends and those closest to them, allowing him to go behind the scenes and bring their stories to life. In this unauthorised biography he takes us from their New Jersey beginnings to international superstardom, from the demons they have battled to the power of their lyrics and their extraordinary connection with their fans. This is a definitive account of the most adored rock band this century, a story of self-belief and the pursuit of dreams.

'Sounding like one instrument, a wild whirling bagpipe, the Stones chugged to a halt. But the crowd didn't stop, we could see Hells Angels spinning like madmen, swinging at people. By stage right a tall white boy with a black cloud of electric hair was dancing, shaking, infuriating the Angels by having too good a time.' The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones is not just the greatest book about the greatest rock 'n' roll band, it is one of the most important books about the 1960s capturing its zeitgeist - that uneasy mix of excess, violence and idealism - in a way no other book does. Stanley Booth was with the Rolling Stones on their 1969 U.S. tour, which culminated in the notorious free concert at Altamont. But this book is much more than a brilliant piece of journalism. It gives a history of the Rolling Stones from their early rhythm 'n' blues days in west London clubs to the end of the 1960s; and it interweaves with mastery the two tragic stories of the decline and death of Brian Jones and the terrifying Altamont concert itself, where the Hells Angels, supposedly providing security, ran amok and murdered a member of the audience. Although it took nearly fifteen years to write, the book that emerged has been rightly acclaimed as 'the one authentic masterpiece of rock 'n' writing'.
