Lennon-isms

The prequel to the critically acclaimed and award-winning This is Memorial Device

Industry of Magic &amp; Light is a love letter to the counterculture of the 1960s and a requiem for its passing. The much-anticipated prequel to Keenan's cult classic debut, This is Memorial Device, Industry of Magic &amp; Light is set in the same mythical Airdrie in the 1960s and early 70s and centres on a group of hippies running their own psychedelic light show. Told in two halves - the first in the form of an inventory of the contents of a caravan abandoned by one of the hippies, the second in the form of a tarot card reading - it is not so much a book about the 1960s as a direct channelling of the decade's energies, bringing to life how even the smallest and dreariest of working class towns felt so full of possibility in the wake of the psychedelic moment. Via artefacts from the time - everything from poetry chapbooks, record reviews and musical instruments through bubblegum wrappers, bicycle repair kits and mysterious cassette recordings - the book opens out into adventures along the hippy trail in Afghanistan and behind the Iron Curtain that leads a cast of new and returning characters - as well as the authorities - to believe that they are literally making magic. Simultaneously a forensics of the 1960s, a detective novel, an occult thriller, a vision quest, and the hallucinatory exposition of a moment where it felt like anything was possible, Industry of Magic &amp; Life brings to life the streets of small working class towns as transformational sites of utopian joy.

The Musical Lives of Charles Manson

Nadine Shah. Singer, songwriter, musician, activist, mixed-race, thirtysomething, successful, outspoken. That's the tagline, at least... As a professional musician, I decided long ago what truly defines success. Everything else it just a bonus. Famous enough to be scrutinised in the supermarket, but not famous enough to enjoy the perks that come with 'celebrity', I don't know any other life.From my various accolades and media presence, it might seem like I've it made it, but really I just try my best to do what I do best. I imagine that much of my story is yours, too, even if you're not a musician. I know you sometimes feel just as inadequate as I do scrolling through Instagram, viewing 'better' depictions of ourselves. But none of it is real. To me, what makes a good lyricist is the ability to speak for everyone and to everyone. I don't claim to be unique; I don't have any answers to the big questions. But I am willing to share my thoughts on the world with anyone who is willing to listen. This book is a collection of musings on what makes me jump out of bed and what makes me hide under the covers. Sometimes we need to read other people's stories in order to process our own. In this memoir, I will hang out my dirty laundry for all to see in the hope that perhaps you'll find the confidence to do the same. This is not your regular rock-star tale of debauchery; it's just my everyday life ­- the rank and the glamorous, the mundane and the ridiculous, the demons and the angels. My version of events.

Ashgate Interdisciplinary Studies in Opera

Although Gustav Holst is rarely thought of as an opera composer, his operatic works provide a gateway to the exploration of how a budding opera composer negotiated the British operatic world across his career and how his synthesis of a myriad of cultural influences in his operatic works affected his reputation and success as a composer. This interdisciplinary study provides a kaleidoscopic view of how overlapping and often contradictory cultural influences such as imperialism, religion, literature, indigenous theatre, philosophy, folk culture, nationalism, and historiography are reflected in Holst's operas and figure into his reception as a composer of operas.

Gustav Holst and British Operatic Culture

One morning in March 2021 with the second wave of infections ripping through Ireland where he was newly resident, Mark Lanegan woke up breathless, fatigued beyond belief, his body burdened with a gigantic dose of Covid-19. Admitted to Kerry Hospital and initially given little hope of survival, Lanegan's illness has him slipping in and out of a coma, unable to walk or function for several months and fearing for his life. As his situation becomes more intolerable over the course of that bleakest of springs he is assaulted by nightmares, visions and regrets about a life lived on the edge of chaos and disorder. He is prompted to consider his predicament and how, in his sixth decade, his lifelong battle with mortality has led to this final banal encounter with a disease that has undone millions, when he has apparently been cheating death for his whole existence. Written in vignettes of prose and poetry, DEVIL IN A COMA is a terrifying account of illness and the remorse that comes with it by an artist and writer with singular vision.

Devil in a Coma

Ella Fitzgerald (1917-1996) possessed one of the twentieth century's most astonishing voices. In this first major biography since Fitzgerald's death, music historian Judith Tick draws on deep archival research, family interviews and newly available recordings and concert footage to show how Fitzgerald fused a Black vocal aesthetic with mainstream popular repertoire to revolutionise American music. From Fitzgerald's first audition at the Apollo Theatre to swing-era success at the Savoy, Tick shows how this "girl singer" broke new ground: as a female bandleader, as a ground-breaking bebop improviser and as the arbiter of the American canon with her Song Book recordings. Yet even as she electrified concert halls and sold millions of records, jazz critics belittled her as "naïve". Tick reveals instead an ambitious risk-taker with a stunningly diverse repertoire, whose exceptional musical spontaneity (often radically different on stage than in the studio) made her a transformational artist.

Becoming Ella Fitzgerald

New Approaches to Sound, Music, and Media

Recorded music creation and consumption underwent a huge shift in the first two decades of the 20th century: from physical artifacts to digital; from fixed personal computers to mobile devices; from downloading and owning to streaming and access. This had a significant impact on the music 'assemblage' - the audio, performances, videos, films, books, games - that make up what we think of as 'music,' and gave rise to new forms of musical new media. Björk's Biophilia, widely acclaimed as the first 'app album,' is one response to this context. Drawing on her direct experience as part of the creative team who made Biophilia musicologist Nicola Dibben investigates how popular music practices intersect with digital technologies at their moment of emergence in two domains: music software applications ('apps') for touchscreen technologies of tablet computer and smartphone, and in extended reality. She shows the way these new media formats maintain musical traditions as much as they innovate, explores the future of the album as a musical artifact in the digital age, and identifies emerging new music forms and engagements which may come to define our digital musical futures.

Oasis The Masterplan

'What a ride this is! A big wide book. An amazingly vivid piece of writing, from the hilarious to the horrifying and everything in between' BRIAN ENO Meet Seth Brakes. Musician. Reluctant romantic. Inherent troublemaker. Addict. And three hundred and twenty days sober. After a near-death experience, Seth is carving a new path for himself. Having reformed the band - the infamous Lucky Fuckers - things are looking up for Seth: gigs are falling back into the diary, he's in love and finally getting back to what he enjoys most: writing music. That is until his past starts to creep up on him . . . A dark comedy that is painfully honest, original and dynamically told, When I Died For the First Time is a raw account of a man tested his uppermost limits, hitting legendary highs and crashing to catastrophic lows. It's a tale of second chances, love lost and gained, and coming back to yourself: a story that stays with you long after you've turned the last page.
