Individually, the book's in-depth discussions explore these subjects' ideas and innovations; taken together, they document an alternative-guitar tradition with roots in free jazz, punk, avant-garde, folk, and garage rock styles. Of all the conversations in Feeding Back, the most compelling is the one among the guitarists themselves, the way they both influence and respond to each other while redefining the instrument and the rock genre. From the protopunk of the Stooges to the post-punk of Sonic Youth, from the krautrock of Neu! to the post-rock of Tortoise, the book charts this alternative thread as it makes its way through rock guitar from the late '60s to the present.

What started as five young men with a common dream of becoming rock stars eventually disintegrated into in-fighting, ego clashes, and financial disputes, until in 1995, following the release of Definitely Maybe, things came to a head and Tony left the band. Here, Tony reveals the truth about the early years before the band was formed. He discusses the drug consumption, the sexual activities, his much-publicized rift with Noel Gallagher, and how he was duped into signing a less-than-favorable record contract. His recollections include stories involving David Beckham, Prince, Eric Cantona, and John McEnroe. Witty, revealing, and fascinating, this book is a must-read for Oasis fans. 9781843584995 Pub Date: 5/1/12 $12.95 Paperback / softback / Trade paperback (US) Author Bio Tony McCarroll was a founding member of Oasis. 292 pages Carton Qty: 40 Biography & Autobiography / Composers & Musicians BIO004000 5.000 in W | 8.000 in H | 0.530 lb Wt 127mm W | 203mm H | 240g Wt Roadie My Life on the Road with Coldplay Matt McGinn Summary 9781907554292 Pub Date: 5/1/11 $15.95 Paperback / softback / Trade paperback (US) With a foreword by the band and exclusive photography by their bassist, this backstage, on-the-road account of Matt McGinn's life as a roadie describes touring with Coldplay, a band at the pinnacle of their success Stuffed with insightful and authoritative tour stories about daily roadie duties, this is an insider's guide to what it means to live and work with global superstars in the world of rock 'n' roll.

Robb's exclusive inside knowledge of the Stone Roses creates a compelling and intimate insight into how the band single-handedly set the blueprint for the resurgence of UK rock 'n' roll in the 1990s: Ian Brown's new lazy-style vocals; Reni's fluid, funk-tinged, groundbreaking drumming; and the guitar genius of John Squire. From the band members' early years to the inception of the Roses, through the tours and success, their influences and style, to the demise of the original lineup and their solo careers; every high and low is documented in minute detail. Author Bio John Robb is the founder of the 1970s punk rock band the Membranes, a current member of the group Goldblade, and the author of Death to Trad Rock, The North Will Rise Again: Manchester Music City 1976-1996, and Punk Rock: An Oral History. He first met an embryonic Stone Roses in the postpunk fallout of the early 1980s when his band used to rehearse next door to theirs. He was the first journalist to document their remarkable rise to the top in a series of articles for the music press and attended show after classic show that saw them change the face of British music. 6.000 in W | 9.500 in H | 1.540 lb Wt 152mm W | 241mm H | 699g Wt My Bass and Other Animals Guy Pratt Summary 9780752893358 Pub Date: 1/1/09 $17.95 Paperback / softback / Trade paperback (US) 304 pages Carton Qty: 32 Biography & Autobiography / Composers & Musicians BIO004000 Guy Pratt came of age just as playing bass became sexy. In spurning the guitar solo, punk put the low-end on more of an equal footing-or maybe it was just that Paul Simonon and Bruce Foxton were pretty cool. Either way, people were trying out the basslines of "White Man in Hammersmith Palais" or "Peaches." Having dallied with Funkapolitan, Pratt suddenly found himself on Top of the Pops and supporting David Bowie with the smooth Australian outfit Icehouse. At a ludicrously young age he became a sought-after bass player to the stars, finding himself crawling from studios to bars and from hotels to stadiums with the likes of Robert Palmer, Womack & Womack, Bernard Edwards, Bryan Ferry, and David Crosby. The 1980s were in their prime, and with a number of Crolla-suited appearances in windswept videos behind him, he was invited to join Pink Floyd for a series of stadium extravaganzas to make Bono & Co. look fairly modest. He was in The Smiths for a week, has traveled through customs in a wheelchair after a flight with Jimmy Page, spent time in the studio with Michael Jackson, and has liv...

A sonic alchemist to the stars, his address book is a veritable who's who of rock and his credit adorns an outrageous number of albums. Tellingly, Eno's work with Roxy Music, David Bowie, Talking Heads, Devo, U2, and Coldplay has coincided with those artists producing their most critically revered work. On Some Faraway Beach is the first serious, critical examination of the life and times of Brian Eno. David Sheppard has interviewed key collaborators like David Byrne, Robert Wyatt, John Cale, Bryan Ferry, and Gavin Bryars. But more importantly, Sheppard has had considerable assistance and input from Brian and Anthea Eno themselves, while retaining an edge and independence in keeping with his subject.

But as bass player of Blur-one of the most successful British bands of all time-his journey was more exciting and extreme than he could ever have predicted. Success catapulted him from a slug-infested squat in Camberwell to a world of private jets and world-class restaurants. As "the second drunkest member of the world's drunkest band" Alex James's life was always chaotic, but he retained a boundless enthusiasm and curiosity at odds with his hedonistic lifestyle. From nights in the Groucho with Damien Hirst, to dancing to Sister Sledge with Björk, to being bitten on the nose by the lead singer of Iron Maiden, he offers a fascinating and hilarious insight into the world of celebrity.

Beginning with Vera Lynn's "We'll Meet Again," a song that reassured a nation parted from their loved ones by the turmoil of war, and culminating with the manic energy of "Bonkers," Dizzee Rascal's anthem for the push and rush of the 21st century inner city, The People's Songs takes a tour of the UK's pop music, and asks what it means to a Briton.The story of modern Britain is told chronologically over 50 chapters, through the records that listened to and loved during the dramatic and kaleidoscopic period from World War II to the present day. This is not a rock critique about the 50 greatest tracks ever recorded. Rather, it is a celebration of songs that tell us something about how Britons have felt about things in their lives down the eras-work, war, class, leisure, race, family, drugs, se...

The Snakepit Book Daily Diary Comics 2001?2003 Ben Snakepit, Aaron Cometbus Summary Ben "Snakepit" White draws his life every day in three comic panels. This book collects the years 2001-2003 and follows his participation in the heavy metal band, the Sword, up to the invitation to join the punk rock band J Church. His punk-influenced comic memoirs focus on every day, no matter how uneventful, in order to find the deeper meaning in the seemingly mundane. It is one of the few unintentional and revealing cultural studies of punk rock lifestyles. As Jimmi Payne summarizes in Punk Zine, "Patterns emerge and story arcs materialize and years of common actions load into a highly concentrated snapshot that wakes you up to the ongoing machinations of life beyond your present day." 9781621067146 Pub Date: 5/1/14 Ship Date: 5/1/14 $14.95 Paperback / softback / Trade paperback (US) 288 pages Carton Qty: 40 Comics & Graphic Novels / Nonfiction CGN007000 Series: Snakepit Author Bio Ben Snakepit is a freelance artist and author of the zines Going to California, Pills, and Snakepit.

Where some of the colorful punk bands from the first half of the decade were loud, political, and uncompromising, their anarcho-punk counterparts were even more so, totally prepared to risk their liberty to communicate the ideals they believed in so passionately. With Crass and Poison Girls opening the floodgates, the arrival of bands such as Amebix, Chumbawamba, Flux of Pink Indians, and Zounds heralded a new age of honesty and integrity in underground music. New, exclusive interviews and hundreds of previously unreleased photographs document the impact of all of the scene's biggest names-and a fair few of the smaller ones-highlighting how anarcho-punk took the rebellion inherent in punk from the very beginning to a whole new level of personal awareness. 9781604865165 Pub Date: 6/1/14 Ship Date: 6/1/14 $24.95 Paperback / softback / Trade paperback (US) Author Bio Ian Glasper is a writer, the founder of the now-defunct Blackfish Records, which released 20 punk, hardcore, and metalcore albums, and a member of many DIY punk bands.

Covering the country region by region, author Ian Glasper profiles legendary bands like Vice Squad, Angelic Upstarts, Blitz, Anti-Nowhere League, Cockney Rejects, and the UK Subs as well as more obscure groups like Xtract, The Skroteez, and Soldier Dolls through hundreds of new interviews and photographs. As the 1970s closed the media was quick to declare punk dead, but a new generation of even more aggressive and political bands were announcing their presence through some of the most primal and potent music ever committed to plastic.

Their sound was inventive and tetchy, and front man Jello Biafra's lyrics were incisive and often scathing. This chronicle-the first in-depth book written about Dead Kennedys-uses dozens of firsthand interviews, photos, and original artwork to offer a new perspective on a group that was mired in controversy almost from its inception. It examines and applauds the band's key role in transforming punk rhetoric, both polemical and musical, into something genuinely threatening and enormously funny. Author Alex Ogg puts the local and global trajectory of punk into context and, while not flinching from the wildly differing takes the individual band members have on the evolution of the band, attempts to be celebratory-if not uncritical. 9781604864892 Pub Date: 6/1/14 Ship Date: 6/1/14 $15.95 Paperback / softback / Trade paperback (US) 160 pages Carton Qty: 60 Music / Genres & Styles MUS030000 6.000 in W | 9.000 in H 152mm W | 229mm H Author Bio Alex Ogg is a freelance writer and journalist whose work has appeared in numerous publications, including the Guardian and the Times.

Founded by Jerry Dammers, their fusion of punk, reggae, and ska created a new musical fashion-spearheaded by their own Two Tone record label-that stood for unity and racial harmony in a polarized society. This musical odyssey with The Specials moves from their early days on Coventry's punk circuit, to their chart-storming success with singles like Too Much Too Young and the eerily prescient Ghost Town, released as the race riots of 1982 saw Toxteth and Brixton go up in flames. Written with wry humor, this affectionate look at a band whose sublime music remains influential today is a must for all fans of The Specials. 9780330440738 Pub Date: 6/1/08 $15.95 Paperback / softback / Trade paperback (US) Author Bio Horace Panter is the former bass player with The Specials, General Public, and Specialbeat. 320 pages Carton Qty: 32 Biography & Autobiography / Composers & Musicians BIO004000 5.000 in W | 8.000 in H | 0.850 in T | 0.550 lb Wt 127mm W | 203mm H | 22mm T | 249g Wt The History of the NME High Times and Low Lives at the World's Most Famous Music Magazine Pat Long Summary 9781907554483 Pub Date: 6/1/12 $24.95 Hardback / Cloth over boards The Sex Pistols sang about it, Nick Hornby claims he regrets not working for it. The fights, the bands, the brawls, the haircuts, the egos, and much more-the definitive book about the infamous music magazine. For 60 years, since it was founded in 1952, the New Musical Express has played a central part in the British love affair with pop music-and has been essential for American connoisseurs to remain in-the-know as well. This authoritative history is an insider's account of the high times and low lives of one of the world's most influential music magazines. It explains the stories behind the stories that kept readers coming back week after week-the office brawls, the former staffers who launched their careers there (Tony Parsons, Julie Burchill, Nick Kent, Mick Farren, Steve Lamacq, and Stuart Maconie), and the bands who owe their success to the magazine. Snotty, confrontational, enthusiastic, and sarcastic: the new issue of the NME was the high point of any music fan's week, whether they were listening to The Beatles, Bowie, or Blur.

Love him or hate him, 30 years after the release of the Sex Pistols' first record, John Lydon-the man who was the focal point of the British punk movement-is impossible to ignore when discussing the history of rock. Was the Sex Pistols' album Never Mind the Bollocks the one true masterpiece of punk's first wave? How did the Pistols influence American punk? How does Lydon's post-Pistols work in PIL compare in influence and artistry? Contributors delve into these questions and more in this fitting tribute to an underdog who went on to become an antihero to millions. 9781842403600 Pub Date: 1/1/07 $19.95 Paperback / softback / Trade paperback (US) Author Bio Rob Johnstone is the editor of AC/DC: Two Sides to Every Glory and Keith Moon: Instant Party.

With a cast that includes Patti Smith, Pere Ubu, Television, Blondie, the Ramones, the MC5, the Stooges, Talking Heads, and the Dead Boys, this account is the definitive story of early American punk rock. Extraordinarily balanced, it tells the story of the music's development largely through the artists' own words, while thoroughly analyzing and evaluating the music in a lucid and cogent manner. First published in 1993, this was the first book to tell the stories of these then-littleknown bands; now, this edition has been updated with a new discography, including imports and bootlegs, and an afterword detailing the post-1970s history of these bands.

As it originated in Manhattan's Lower East Side in the early 1970s, punk rock was the apotheosis of a Jewish cultural tradition that found its ultimate expression in the generation born after the Holocaust. Beginning with Lenny Bruce, "the patron saint of punk," and following pre-punk progenitors such as Lou Reed, Jonathan Richman, Suicide, and the Dictators, this fascinating mixture of biography, cultural studies, and musical analysis delves into the lives of these and other Jewish punks-including Richard Hell and Joey Ramone-to create a fascinating historical overview of the scene.

As it originated in Manhattan's Lower East Side in the early 1970s, punk rock was the apotheosis of a Jewish cultural tradition that found its ultimate expression in the generation born after the Holocaust. Beginning with Lenny Bruce, "the patron saint of punk," and following pre-punk progenitors such as Lou Reed, Jonathan Richman, Suicide, and the Dictators, this fascinating mixture of biography, cultural studies, and musical analysis delves into the lives of these and other Jewish punks-including Richard Hell and Joey Ramone-to create a fascinating historical overview of the scene.

After tracing its underground roots in New York and Detroit, Strongman shows how the Sex Pistols and the Clash, along with their confreres, took rock 'n' roll closer to the edge than any band before them. But after the outrage over the Pistols' legendary outburst on Bill Grundy's TV show catapulted the band into the center of a press feeding frenzy, it was swiftly eclipsed by the blossoming of a new movement in time for the Queen's Silver Jubilee.

Asserting that drugs are not necessarily rebellious and that not all rebels do them, the record also defies common conceptions of straight edge's political legacy as being associated with self-righteous, macho posturing and conservative Puritanism. On the contrary, the movement has been linked to radical thought and action by the countless individuals, bands, and entire scenes profiled throughout the discussion.

Punk is notorious for its loud music, aggressive attitude, and safety-pinned style; less well known is the radical value system that has emerged hand in hand with the sound and aesthetic. Since the 1970s, punks have built their music, fashion, and lifestyles around core values of social justice, creative freedom, community integrity, fiercely democratic politics, and do-it-yourself ingenuity. From journalism to psychology, graphic design to alternative fuel, and bodybuilding to the Occupy movement, these interviews show just some of the ways that punk values continue to shape mainstream American life.

Emerging from the wreckage of the anarcho-punk scene spawned by the likes of Crass and Conflict, it took its influences from the studs 'n' leather punk bands of the early 1980s such as Discharge and GBH, as well as the nascent American hardcore movement and the emerging metal/punk crossover scene. Filtered through some through fiercely DIY aesthetics, there was a potent movement that spawned such seminal acts as Napalm Death, ENT, the Stupids, and Heresy. With the backing of John Peel and an unwavering work ethic, these bands, and the labels that launched them-such as Earache and Peaceville-pushed musical boundaries into new and previously unexplored avenues of extremity. Ian Glasper digs deeper than anyone has previously dared into a subculture that was as manic, exciting, innovative, and defiant as anything before or since.

Patti Smith burst onto a vacuous music scene in the mid-1970s with a raw and revolutionary sound-steeped as much in French symbolist poetry as it was in 1960s garage rock-and an indelible, gender-bending stage persona. With the release of Horses, rock music would simply never be the same. This remarkable book demonstrates the influence Smith and her music continue to exert today in the work of luminaries such as Morrissey, Michael Stipe, and PJ Harvey, and is the unforgettable story of a landmark album, the new rock aesthetic that it brought about, and how Patti Smith became the most influential female rock 'n' roller of all time....

This book traces the brilliant trajectory of her career, including the fifteen reclusive years she spent in Detroit in the 1980s and '90s, as well as her triumphant return to New York. But it is primarily the story of a performer growing up in New York City in the early and mid-1970s. Dancing Barefoot is a measured, accurate, and enthusiastic account of Smith's career. Guided by interviews with those who have known her-including Ivan Kral, Tom Verlaine, Richard Lloyd, John Cale, and Jim Carroll-it relies most of all on Patti's own words. This is Patti's story, told as she might have seen it, had she been on the outside looking in.

The Story of Crass George Berger Summary In-depth interviews with the main movers in the punk rock movement-Crass members Penny Rimbaud, Gee Vaucher, and Steve Ignorant-detail the face of the revolution founded by these radical thinkers and artists. When punk ruled the waves, Crass waived the rules by putting out their own records, films, and magazines and setting up a series of situationist pranks that were dutifully covered by the world's press. Not just another iconoclastic band, Crass was a musical, social, and political phenomenon: commune dwellers that were rarely photographed and remained contemptuous of conventional pop stardom. As detailed in this history, their members explored and finally exhausted the possibilities of punk-led anarchy.

Formed in Hermosa Beach, California, in 1978, they made and played brilliant, ugly, no-holds-barred music for eight brutal years on a self-appointed touring circuit of America's clubs, squats, and community halls. They fought with everybody-the police, the record industry, and even their own fans-and they toured overseas on pennies a day in beat-up trucks and vans. This history tells Black Flag's story from the inside, drawing on exclusive interviews with the group's members, their contemporaries, and the bands they inspired. It depicts the rise of Henry Rollins, the iconic front man, and Greg Ginn, who turned his electronics company into one of the world's most influential independent record labels while leading Black Flag from punk's three-chord frenzy into heavy metal and free jazz. 9781604864182 Pub Date: 8/1/11 $19.95 Paperback / softback / Trade paperback (US) Author Bio Stevie Chick has written for the Guardian, Melody Maker, and MOJO, and is the author of Ninja Tune and Psychic Confusion. 432 pages Carton Qty: 28 Music / Genres & Styles MUS030000 6.000 in W | 9.000 in H | 1.000 in T | 1.350 lb Wt 152mm W | 229mm H | 25mm T | 612g Wt IPG Pop, Rock, and Punk Music Titles Spring 2014 - January 2014 Page 60 PM PRESS Barred for Life How Black Flag's Iconic Logo Became Punk Rock's Secret Handshake Stewart Dean Ebersole, Jared Castaldi Summary 9781604863949 Pub Date: 2/14/13 $24.95 Paperback / softback / Trade paperback (US) 328 pages Carton Qty: 20 Music / Genres & Styles MUS030000 8.000 in W | 10.000 in H 203mm W | 254mm H Cataloging the legacy of the American punk rock pioneers Black Flag, this photo documentary uses stark, contrasting portraits to share the stories of the die-hard fans who wear the iconic four-barred logo tattooed on their skin.

By putting on shows in basements, booking and traveling on national tours, and releasing their own records, these kids attempt to distance themselves from the corporate influence that they consider not only unnecessary, but unwelcome. This fascinating look into the workings of a DIY punk community also examines the scene's shortcomings, such as undercurrents of sexism as well as the problem of self-sufficiency, which pressures some to seek out the same corporate avenues to which the scene strives to be an alternative. The documentary features live footage and interviews with Latterman, On the Might of Princes, the Insurgent, Seven Days of Samsara, plus showgoers, scenesters, zinesters, and activists.

Associating with gangsters and prostitutes and sleeping in appalling conditions behind a cinema screen, the Beatles pounded out beat music in strip clubs and dens of vice like the Indra, the Kaiserkeller, the Top Ten, and the Star-Club. In the process, they changed their way of playing, got arrested and deported, wore black leather, lost their bass player, sacked their drummer, 9781569768167 Pub Date: 10/1/11 $19.95 Paperback / softback / Trade paperback (US) 128 pages Carton Qty: 20 Music / Genres & Styles MUS035000 9.500 in W | 8.250 in H 241mm W | 210mm H developed a vast repertoire of raucous rock 'n' roll songs, and fashioned a new hairstyle.

The Complete Beatles Chronicle The Definitive Day-by-Day Guide to the Beatles' Entire Career Mark Lewisohn, George Martin Summary In 1979, Beatles expert Mark Lewisohn set about establishing a complete list of the group's live appearances from 1957 through 1966, when they stopped giving concerts; the research took seven long years and was published as the book The Beatles Live! Shortly thereafter, EMI Records invited Lewisohn to be the only person outside of the Beatles and their production staff to go into Abbey Road and listen to the entire collection of Beatles session tapes and to interview practically everyone involved in their making. The result was published in 1988 as The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions, and sold over 150,000 copies. 9781569765340 Pub Date: 10/1/10 $30.00 Paperback / softback / Trade paperback (US) 368 pages Carton Qty: 10 Music / Genres & Styles MUS035000 9.38 W | 11.00 H | 1.30 T 9W | 11H | 1T This book artfully combines and updates all the vital material in Lewisohn's earlier two books with his definitive account of the Beatles' work in radio, television, film, and video to create a complete day-by-day summary of the group's entire oeuvre.

Featuring articles from GQ, Melody Maker, and Rolling Stone, as well as interviews that have never previously appeared in print, it charts Keith Richards's journey from gauche, young pretender and swaggering epitome of the zeitgeist to beloved elder statesman of rock. Initially overshadowed by band mates Mick Jagger and Brian Jones, Richards gained popularity as half of the second-most important songwriting team of the 1960s, and in 1967 the drug bust at his house and his subsequent trial and imprisonment made him a household name. His interviews match his outlaw image: free of banality and euphemism, they revel in frank stories of drugs and debauchery. Yet they also reveal an unexpectedly warm, unpretentious, articulate, and honest man. This collection amply illustrates the magic and charm of Keith Richards.

He lived with them throughout their 1969 American tour, staying up all night together listening to blues, talking about music, ingesting drugs, and consorting with groupies. His thrilling account culminates with their final concert at Altamont Speedway-a nightmare of beating, stabbing, and killing that would signal the end of a generation's dreams of peace and freedom. But while this book renders in fine detail the entire history of the Stones, paying special attention to the tragedy of Brian Jones, it is about much more than a writer and a rock band. It has been called-by Harold Brodkey and Robert Stone, among others-the best book ever written about the sixties.

The wild and passionate lead singer for supergroup The Who is still very much alive, the premature deaths of Keith Moon and John Entwistle leaving Daltrey and Pete Townshend as the only survivors of the legendary band. Roger Daltrey's extraordinary life is detailed here from start to finish: from being expelled from school and written off as a violent thug before he ever made his first guitar out of a block of wood, and the story of how music and The Who became his salvation. His many years as the voice of a generation are also discussed here, as the authors look at the life behind the icon strutting bare-chested on stage, swinging the mic like a lariat at The Who's dynamic concerts.

Expectations were grand, and these demo recordings promised an impressive album. However, after a series of sessions with the E Street Band spent working on the material, Springsteen felt these new recordings failed to capture the intimacy of the home demos and made the incredible decision to eschew the expensive, state of the art productions, and release the crude, home recorded version of the album. Almost 30 years later, Nebraska is considered a classic, not only among Springsteen's canon but among the entire body of work recorded during the 20th century.

He has even admitted that, in one of his more comedic cocaine-fueled moments, he phoned one of his management team "to tell him to do something about the wind outside my hotel room."

Judy Huddleston's parents had just gotten divorced, and she spent her last year of high school attending Doors concerts. Transformed from a perceptive child into a rebellious teenager bent on attracting boys and fueled by psychedelics, she had lost her sense of self. Then Jim Morrison came into her life. 9781613747506 Pub Date: 6/1/13 $16.95 Paperback / softback / Trade paperback (US) 240 pages Carton Qty: 0 Music / Genres & Styles MUS035000 5.500 in W | 8.500 in H 140mm W | 216mm H Love Him Madly chronicles Judy's four-year relationship with the singer.

Sun King The Life and Times of Sam Phillips, the Man Behind Sun Records Kevin Crouch, Tanja Crouch Summary Music producer Sam Phillips and his landmark studio, Sun Records, hold a unique place in the history of rock 'n' roll. By many accounts, before Phillips recorded "Rocket 88" by Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats in 1951, rock 'n' roll as we know it didn't even exist. Phillips is simultaneously hailed as the man who discovered Elvis Presley and derided as the man who sold the same artist to RCA for a paltry $35,000. The list of musical legends that passed through the doors of Sun Records is simply astounding, including BB King, Ike Turner, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Jerry Lee Lewis. Stripping away the glossy veneer of legend around the Phillips story-which, like his signature sound, was much the result of his own careful crafting-this story reveals a man who, from a very young age, heard a musical sound that no one else heard. 9780749929466 Pub Date: 1/1/10 $15.95 Paperback / softback / Trade paperback (US) Author Bio Kevin Crouch is the former archivist for the Roy Orbison estate.

Detailed are the breakdown of Morrison's marriage, the creative drought that followed, and his triumphant reemergence. In addition, this biography attempts to explain the forbidding aspects of Morrison's persona, such as paranoia, hard drinking, misanthropy, as well as why, in the words of his one-time singing partner Linda Gail Lewis, Morrison's music "brings happiness to other people, not him."

Mounting tensions among bandmates over vibrant guitarist and lead vocalist John Fogerty's creative control led to the band's demise. Tracing the lives of four musicians who redefined an American roots-rock sound with unequaled passion and power, this music biography exposes the bitter end and abandoned talent of a band left crippled by debt and dissension.

The book exposes, celebrates, and condemns the "culture of nonsense" that surrounds rock, uncovering truths such as the manager who advised the Rolling Stones to sack Mick Jagger in 1962, and the reviewer who told Michael Jackson that his new album Thriller was a right old stinker and he should fire his whole production team. Diving head first into the whirlpool of lurid folklore and cultural exotica surrounding rock 'n' roll, this riotous screed surfaces with a few pearls of truth, as well as the odd discarded Rolls Royce. 9781907554469 Pub Date: 10/10/12 $12.95 Paperback / softback / Trade paperback (US) Author Bio Johnny Sharp wrote for NME for many years under the name Johnny Cigarettes and is a contributor to the Guardian, Mojo magazine, and Q magazine.

IPG Pop, Rock, and Punk Music Titles Spring 2014 - January 2014 Page 96 GIA PUBLICATIONS The Musician's Walk An Ethical Labyrinth James Jordan Summary The quest for the creation of truthful music leads musicians through self-examination, ethical quandaries, and soulful exercises in this exploration of the intertwining of music and spirituality. Moving beyond the engaging infusion of musicianship with personal spiritual experience, this quest, or "walk," focuses on the musician's place amongst other musicians and the labyrinthine complexity of such a network. Throughout the four sections of the book, the musician's loneliness and compassionate awareness are introduced as necessary components of the walk, which can often lead the musician into contentious relationships with others and help define the musician's ethical role. The journey settles into areas of contemplation and self-improvement, ensuring that the music produced as a result is caring, true, and-above all-human. 9781579995508 Pub Date: 9/1/06 $38.95 Hardback / Cloth over boards 432 pages Carton Qty: 32 Music / Religious MUS048000 7.000 in W | 10.000 in H | 1.080 in T | 0.500 lb Wt 178mm W | 254mm H | 27mm T | 227g Wt The American Wind Band A Cultural History Richard K.

This book profiles dozens of outsider musicians, both prominent and obscure-figures such as The Shaggs, Syd Barrett, Tiny Tim, Jandek, Captain Beefheart, Daniel Johnston, Harry Partch, and The Legendary Stardust Cowboy-and presents their strange life stories along with photographs, interviews, cartoons, and discographies. About the only things these self-taught artists have in common are an utter lack of conventional tunefulness and an overabundance of earnestness and passion. But, believe it or not, they're worth listening to, often outmatching all contenders for inventiveness and originality. 9781556523724 Pub Date: 4/1/00 $18.95 Paperback / softback / Trade paperback (US) 272 pages Carton Qty: 32 Music MUS000000 A CD featuring songs by artists profiled in the book is also available.

The dichotomy of "fake" and "real" music as it is portrayed on television is presented in detail through many generations of rock music: the Monkees shared the charts with the Beatles, Tupac and Slayer fans voted for corny American Idols, and shows like Shindig! and Soul Train somehow captured the unhinged energy of rock far more effectively than most long-haired guitar-smashing acts. Also shown is how TV has often delighted in breaking the rules while still mostly playing by them: Bo Diddley defied Ed Sullivan and sang rock and roll after he had been told not to, the Chipmunks' subversive antics prepared kids for punk rock, and things got out of hand when Saturday Night Live invited punk kids to attend a taping of the band Fear.

Do you need a secretary at your beckoned call? In The Ants Are My Friendsdelightfully misheard from Bob Dylan's "Blowing in the Wind"-Martin Toseland has collected the very best, and very worst, linguistic gifts of the gaffe. Examples have been plucked gleefully from three categories of blunders: malapropisms-named after Mrs. Malaprop in Sheridan's play The Rivals where the wrong word pops out to bizarre results; eggcorns-where a new word is created from misheard real one (the name comes from someone misunderstanding "acorn" as "eggcorn," as it has the same shape); and of course mondegreens, or misheard lyrics, a rich vein of accidental invention. Such classic mondegreens are collected as Ray Parker Jr.'s "Who Ya Gonna Call, Gus Foster," Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams are Made of Cheese," Roy Orbison's "Only Baloney," AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done with Sheep," and Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tangerine Man."
