The authorized biography of the quintessential '80s pop band The Bangles, who scored massive hits with "Manic Monday," Walk Like an Egyptian," "Hazy Shade of Winter," and more

Bickerdike J: Eternal Flame / LF

Eternal Flame

The Authorized Biography of The Bangles

In his brilliantly original Tonight the Music Seems so Loud, bestselling author Sathnam Sanghera portrays the extraordinary life, and times, of one of Britain's most beloved musical icons - George Michael.

The Meaning of George Michael

Tonight the Music Seems So Loud

The 1960s marked the dawning of a new era - and nowhere was this more manifest than in black America. Social shifts and artistic attitudes fuelled by flower power, as well as opportunities afforded by the economic boom, saw black Americans make astonishing gains, paving the way for a reimagining of modern culture. By the 1970s, new wealth, higher aspirations and a visible black middle class had begun to reshape the arts, most noticeably the music scene. The seeds of a new music were sown, and Funk flourished in the new, fertile cultural climate. A vocal celebration and embracing of blackness, it became the soundtrack that drove and illuminated the social and artistic revolution. As its audience moved on up Funk relocated mainstream black music from the ghetto to suburbia. But its roots were never forgotten. Nobody ever doubted that this was a self-sustaining and self-defining black music - an awareness that enabled Funk to keep on developing its own rhythms. Soul's passion, jazz's adventure and the discipline of R&amp;B came together with a confidence, financial basis and sense of purpose to produce some of the best and biggest black music, from James Brown to Curtis Mayfield. An intimate portrait of a defining sound, Funk Is Its Own Reward draws on contributions from a cast of musicians and producers, writers and directors, designers and executives, including George Clinton, Bootsy and Stevie Wonder, to weave together a rich social and cultural history. Astute and thoughtful, Lloyd Bradley examines Funk's significant contribution to and influence on modern culture - and the America that helped it thrive.

An intimate, definitive exploration of Funk, the sound of a generation, that tells its stories, its triumphs and excesses.

A thrilling new biography of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky—composer of some of the world’s most popular orchestral and theatrical music &nbsp; “A lively, argumentative and thoughtful reflection on one of the 19th century’s most important musical figures.”—Michael O’Donnell, Wall Street Journal &nbsp; Tchaikovsky is famous for all the wrong reasons. Portrayed as a hopeless romantic, a suffering melancholic, or a morbid obsessive, the Tchaikovsky we think we know is a shadow of the fascinating reality. It is all too easy to forget that he composed an empire’s worth of music, and navigated the imperial Russian court to great advantage. &nbsp; In this iconoclastic biography, celebrated author Simon Morrison re-creates Tchaikovsky’s complex world. His life and art were framed by Russian national ambition, and his work was the emanation of an imperial subject: kaleidoscopic, capacious, cosmopolitan, decentred. &nbsp; Morrison reexamines the relationship between Tchaikovsky’s music, personal life, and politics; his support of Tsars Alexander II and III; and his engagement with the cultures of the imperial margins, in Ukraine, Poland, and the Caucasus. Tchaikovsky’s Empire unsettles everything we thought we knew—and gives us a vivid new appreciation of Russia’s most popular composer.

Transdisziplinäre Popkulturstudien

Popkultur und politische Populismen stehen in einem komplexen Verhältnis zueinander: Popkultur ist Seismograph politischer Entwicklungen, Artikulationsraum politischer Positionen und eine wichtige Instanz für die Herausbildung politischer Identitäten. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes fragen mit besonderer Dringlichkeit nach Wechselwirkungen, Passungen und Widersprüchen: In welcher Weise bedient sich einerseits der Populismus popkultureller Strategien, etwa zur Vermittlung politischer Botschaften oder zur Personalisierung von Inhalten? Wo und wie tragen andererseits popkulturelle Medientexte wie Musik, Film oder Literatur und popkulturelle Akteur*innen zur Entstehung und Verbreitung populistischer Positionen bei?

Interdisziplinäre und internationale Perspektiven

Popkultur und Populismen

The classic thrillers of Alfred Hitchcock, including Vertigo, North by Northwest and Psycho, achieved much of their power from the music of legendary Academy Award winner Bernard Herrmann (Citizen Kane, Taxi Driver). In this book, author Steven C. Smith delivers an intimate account of how the reserved, but deeply anxious, Hitchcock found his ideal creative partner in the cantankerous, but deeply romantic, Herrmann. Their collaboration ended in a bitter break; but today, the music from their movies is more popular than ever, heard in Quentin Tarantino blockbusters and Lady Gaga music videos. Smith takes us inside the friendship between "Benny and Hitch," and explains why Herrmann's pulse-quickening music has become the soundtrack of our own anxious times.
