Desde su prometedor arranque en 1984 hasta su abrupto final en 1996, Héroes del Silencio encarnaron el rol de estrellas de rock hasta sus últimas consecuencias. Aquellos cuatro chicos de Zaragoza se atrevieron a soñar y a cumplir sus sueños: conciertos multitudinarios, grabaciones en Londres y Los Angeles, giras internacionales, millones de fans... Sus impactantes canciones, un verdadero soplo de aire fresco en el pop-rock estatal de la epoca, se convirtieron en himnos generacionales y consiguieron traspasar nuestras fronteras, siendo coreadas a lo largo de Europa, America y hasta Asia en lo que supuso un exito sin precedentes para un grupo de habla hispana. Casi treinta años despues de su separacion, sus seguidores siguen idolatrandolos y esperando un regreso que solo se cumplio de forma puntual en 2007. En "Heroes del Silencio: La chispa adecuada", el periodista y musico leganense Jesus Casañas se sumerge de lleno en la singular historia de la banda y en su musica, en sus origenes y evolucion a lo largo de una decada. Recopila y contrasta todo lo que se ha escrito de ellos para construir un relato periodistico unico a traves de entrevistas, reportajes, criticas, cronicas, documentales y comunicados de prensa; esta historia documental es el telon de fondo sobre el que se analiza la trayectoria de la banda disco a disco, cancion a cancion, donde se analizan armonias, letras, arreglos, instrumentos, produccion...; y presta ademas atencion a sus lanzamientos discograficos (oficiales y no oficiales): singles, albumes, discos piratas, reediciones, recopilatorios, videografia... Los ultimos capitulos estan dedicados a Enrique Bunbury, por lo que sera la primera minibiografia artistica dedicada a este musico de talla internacional. Un manual imprescindible para cualquier amante o coleccionista de la banda. Ampliamente ilustrada, la obra cuenta ademas con una "playlist" en Spotify y una seleccion de videos comentados de YouTube.

Hija de uno de los mayores mitos de Estados Unidos y criada en el territorio salvaje de Graceland, Lisa Marie Presley cuenta por primera vez su historia en estas memorias sinceras, conmovedoras y totalmente unicas, fielmente completadas por su hija, Riley Keough. En 2022, Lisa Marie Presley le pidio a su hija que la ayudase a terminar las memorias que tanto tiempo llevaba preparando. Un mes despues, Lisa Marie fallecia, dejando al mundo sin la posibilidad de escuchar su historia en sus propias palabras. Nunca llegarian a descubrir a la mujer apasionada, alegre, cariñosa y complicada que Riley tanto queria y añoraba. Riley recogio las cintas que su madre habia grabado para el libro, se tumbo en su cama, y escucho a Lisa Marie contar historia tras historia sobre como solian estrellar coches de golf en los jardines de Graceland, sobre el amor incondicional que le profesaba su padre, sobre el tiempo que pasaban en la planta de arriba, solos los dos. Y sobre como tuvieron que sacarla a la fuerza del cuarto de baño mientras corria chillando hacia su cuerpo, inerte en el suelo. Sobre su vida con su madre en Los Angeles, donde pasaba de un colegio a otro, acumulando expulsiones, siempre metida en lios. Sobre la especial relacion con Danny Keough, que se prolongo durante toda su vida, sobre su matrimonio con Michael Jackson y todo lo que tenian en comun. Sobre la maternidad. Sobre los abismos de la adiccion. Sobre la tristeza que la acechaba constantemente. Riley supo que tenia que cumplir el deseo de su madre y compartir esos recuerdos, incandescentes y dolorosos, con el mundo. Para permitir que la conozcamos por fin. Este libro extraordinario esta compuesto tanto de la voz de Lisa Marie como de la de Riley, una madre y una hija comunicandose incluso despues de la muerte para intentar curarse la una a la otra. Profundamente conmovedora e intensamente reveladora, Desde aqui a lo desconocido es una obra inigualable: las ultimas palabras de la unica hija de una autentica leyenda.

For 5 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 realised that these two perfect bands were actually the same band, and the name of that band was The Jesus and Mary Chain. The rest was not silence, and picking up those conversations again more than 40 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.

Un viaje a la nostalgia de los 90 a través de las 90 canciones que marcaron la década. Los 90 fueron una época caótica, descarnada y tremendamente mágica para la música. Grandes estrellas, nuevas maneras de crear, estilos diversos: del grunge al hiphop, del suntuoso rythm and blues al disonante ska, de Britney Spears a Radiohead, de las Spice Girls a Sinead O''Connor o de Blur a Nirvana. Mezclando los ritmos como si nos lanzase a una enorme pista de baile, en Los 90 en 90 canciones (o mas) el periodista musical Rob Harvilla revisita los empalagosos, pegadizos e iconicos hits de la generacion X, en un relato que combina la solidez narrativa y el analisis agudo a un ritmo vertiginoso. Aderezado con reflexiones personales, mucha ironia y grandes dosis de humor, Harvilla repasa las canciones mas extrañas, alegres e inolvidables de una decada musical que, al mismo tiempo que nos sonrojamos, añoramos tremendamente. --- Esto es mas que un tributo a la musica con la que crecimos: es una exploracion de como las canciones significan mas para nosotros ahora. Elie Honig, CNN Senior Legal Analyst Instructivo y a menudo conmovedor. Kirkus Reviews Una carta de amor divertida y conmovedora a una decada. Publisher?s Weekly Una solida introduccion a la musica de los 90, util tanto para los lectores que no estan familiarizados con la era de la cultura pop como para aquellos que quieran sumergirse de nuevo en sus clasicos.
