MARK OLIVER EVERETTHow does one young man survive the deaths of his entire family and manage to make something worthwhile of his life? In Things The Grandchildren Should Know Mark Oliver Everett tells the story of what it's like to grow up the insecure son of a genius in a wacky Virginia Ice Storm-like family. Left to run wild with his sister, his father off in some parallel universe of his own invention, Everett's upbringing was 'ridiculous, sometimes tragic and always unsteady'. But somehow he manages to not only survive his crazy upbringing and ensuing tragedies; he makes something of his life, striking out on a journey to find himself by channelling his experiences into his, eventually, critically acclaimed music with the Eels. But it's not an easy path. Told with surprising candour, Things The Grandchildren Should Know is an inspiring and remarkable story, full of hope, humour and wry wisdom.

Thin Lizzy fue un grupo muy especial y no suficientemente reconocido mientras existió entre 1971 y 1983. Lo demuestran sus composiciones, los grandes guitarristas que pasaron por sus filas, su eclecticismo musical y sobre todo, el carisma y trayectoria de su líder.

Fusing black American rock with London's mod sixties style, The Who remains a potent force in rock and roll even after almost 40 years. This colorful pictorial, first published in 1982, draws on the author's inside viewpoint and features over 400 color and black and white photos. Bringing it up-to-date are a new introduction by Who guitarist Pete Townshend and insight on the band's continued live success, the media scrutiny over Townshend's work against child abuse, and the death of bassist John Entwistle.

En 1964, los Who eran un cuarteto de R&B que recorría los clubes de Londres mientras terminaba de pulir su estilo y se preparaba para su gran oportunidad. El grupo no era uno más de los muchos qu

Homenaje a la mítica banda británica y a la icónica película que marcó a toda una generaciónLa gran celebración de Quadrophenia con motivo de su 45 aniversario, el legendario filme basado en el doble album homonimo de The Who, un homenaje con palabras e imagenes a toda una epoca anclada en las raices de la cultura mod de la banda ?en aquellos años ya unas estrellas del rock en la cima de la fama? y su influencia e impacto tanto en la primera ola de bandas como en posteriores y actuales. En esta obra, el reputado critico musical Martin Popoff profundiza en el legendario album de 1973, la segunda gran opera rock de The Who tras Tommy, y explora minuciosamente la trayectoria y la discografia completa del grupo, junto con los temas sobre los que giran sus composiciones, revive la epoca de publicacion del disco, analiza las letras cancion a cancion, el contexto historico y los instrumentos usados en el por sus integrantes, asi como el tour y, por supuesto, la pelicula de 1979, eje central de este libro. Descubriras asi esta gran obra de arte distinguida y considerada de culto, asi como los perfiles de cada uno de los integrantes del grupo, los genios Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle y Keith Moon (y tambien de sus exasperantes primeros managers, Chris Stamp y Kit Lambert), cuyas diferentes y dispares personalidades se sumaron para dar lugar a una configuracion extraña, en absoluto similar a la esperada y habitual en la mayoria de las bandas de rock, que unieron sus talentos para formar un grupo inigualable. El resultado de todo ello es este libro, un alucinante tributo a esta obra de arte del rock.

La formación original de esta banda, que definió a una generación y conmovió al mundo, se mantuvo durante 15 años hasta la muerte de su batería, Keith Moon, en 1978. Otro de sus miembros originales, John Entwhistle, murio en 2002, pero sus tambien fundadores, Roger Daltrey y Pete Townshend, continuan haciendo giras 50 años despues.

This engrossing book tells the tale of the Detroit duo who shook up the music world with their "candy-colored, gothic-coated world of melody, rhythm and storytelling." These unlikely-looking saviors reinvigorated the blues and blues-rock for a new generation. Writer Denise Sullivan relates The White Stripes' story with a keen eye for detail, a music lover's ear for influences and references, a fan's appreciation of the layers and subtleties, and a journalist's nose for a good story, with all its twists and curves, half-truths, and elaborate theories. Includes dozens of rare photographs, a full discography, and a song concordance. 7-1/4 x 9-1/4, 176 pages

Born Edith Gassion and christened Piaf ("sparrow") by her first employer, Piaf became one of the most famous French cabaret singers of the 20th century, as well as an actor on stage and screen. Piaf wrote her autobiography in 1958; this translation updates the 1965 version by Masoin de Virton and Peter Trewartha. Though Piaf touches on many aspects of her active and colorful life, her book is somewhat thin on the type of detail found in the kiss-and-tell autobiographies fashionable today. In addition, Piaf skips over several large chunks of time as she recounts her life and career. Libraries that own the 1965 edition will probably not feel the need to replace it with this one because the two are so similar. Since Piaf's appeal is somewhat specialized, this book is recommended for larger public libraries. Academic libraries with significant performing arts collections might also consider.-James E.
