From Club Culture to Style Culture, the Story of the New Romantics

The Uncensored Story of Alternative Rock's Wildest Festival

Lollapalooza

Although we have heard the music of J. S. Bach in countless performances and recordings, the composer himself still comes across only as an enigmatic figure in a single familiar portrait. In this award-winning biography, author Christoph Wolff presents a picture that brings to life this towering figure of the Baroque era, revealing Bach as the living, breathing, and sometimes imperfect human being that he was, while bringing to bear all the advances of the last half-century of Bach scholarship. Wolff demonstrates the intimate connection between the composer's life and his music, showing how Bach's superb inventiveness pervaded his career as musician, composer, performer, scholar, and teacher. And throughout, we see Bach in the broader context of his time: its institutions, traditions, and influences.

FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF&nbsp;SING BACKWARDS AND WEEP 'Expressionistic and visceral . . . exhilarating and unexpectedly funny'&nbsp;THE I PAPER Poetic, raw, hallucinogenic and darkly witty,&nbsp;Devil in a Coma&nbsp;charts Mark Lanegan's terrifying, mind-expanding experience of acute illness and the confrontation it forces with mortality itself. Struck down by Covid-19, drifting in and out of a coma, unable to walk and given little hope of survival, these diaries see Lanegan assaulted by nightmares, visions and regrets about an existence lived on the edge of chaos and disorder. In arresting prose and at times transcendent poetry,&nbsp;Devil in a Coma&nbsp;is one man's intimate reckoning with a lifetime spent cheating death.

Devil in a Coma

Defending the Music: Michael Steinberg at the Boston Globe, 1964-1976 brings together, for the first time, some 300 selections from the more than 2,000 reviews, essays, and features written by the eminent critic and musicologist Michael Steinberg during his dozen years--from 1964 to 1976--as music critic of the Boston Globe. Steinberg possessed a special gift in his ability to make complex aspects of music easy to understand, writing with a combination of wit, elegance, and passion that was inspiring to both amateurs and professionals. Eloquent and highly entertaining, his Globe writings inspired admiration and controversy for their exacting standards. The selections offered here serve as witness to some of the most important music and music-making of the time, in Boston and elsewhere. 

This book will be of equal interest to a wide variety of concertgoers, music aficionados, record collectors, teachers, and students. At the same time, it is a valuable artifact of reception history and shows how pieces of music, whether familiar, unfamiliar, or newly created, were interpreted by artists and received by audiences and critics. Defending the Music also serves as a companion volume to existing compilations of Steinberg's work published by Oxford University Press.

Defending the Music

ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 'BEST BOOKS TO DIP INTO THIS SUMMER' 'The Bowie you thought you knew is recast completely' The Spectator 'A transfixing look at David Bowie's life through a spiritual lens... fresh and revealing' Publishers Weekly How David Bowie's search for meaning inspired him to write the music that defined a generation. In this wide-ranging biography, Peter Ormerod explores the quest for spirituality that powered David Bowie's creativity from his earliest recordings to his death-defying final album. Bowie's genre-expanding, era-crossing genius had an extraordinary impact on popular culture but his life-long search for spiritual truth and enlightenment has been overlooked. From Bowie's first musical encounters as a choirboy, this book traces his spiritual obsessions over the years. As a young musician at the start of his career, he was enraptured by Tibetan Buddhism. It was the first step in a spiritual journey that would generate his most profound lyrics and music. From the Kabbalah-influenced tracks of Station to Station to Ziggy Stardust's messiah complex and the profound affinity between Heroes and Christian thought, Ormerod sheds new light on the spiritual traditions behind Bowie's genius. Taking Bowie's spiritual explorations and faith seriously, Ormerod shows us how this quest for meaning propelled him through his darkest moments and biggest successes, lending his music a timelessness and depth that has spoken to so many people across the world. Whether experiencing a dark night of the soul in LA during his occult phase or reciting the Lord's prayer in front of thousands of concertgoers, Bowie was always searching for that universal truth that lies beyond everyday reality.

A spiritual meditation on his music and creativity

David Bowie and the Search for Life, Death and God

This is the story of the game-changing collaboration between director Alfred Hitchcock and composer Bernard Herrmann, who channelled their inner fears and desires into films that would become the nightmarish narratives and soundtracks of our lives.

The 11-year collaboration between Alfred Hitchcock and Bernard Herrmann is often called the greatest director-composer partnership in cinema history. Their eight films together include such classic thrillers as Vertigo, The Man Who Knew Too Much, North by Northwest, Psycho, and The Birds. In Hitchcock and Herrmann: The Friendship and Film Scores that Changed Cinema, 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. Smith draws on four decades of research, including previously unpublished documents and new interviews, to deliver a riveting account of what made the teaming of "Benny and Hitch" so memorable and influential -- and why it came to a bitter end.
 
Their story involves the tumultuous changes in Hollywood from the mid-1950s to mid-1960s, as the collapsing studio system gave way to independent, counterculture filmmaking. It also involves the key figures in Hitchcock and Herrmann's inner circle including the director's gifted wife and most valued critic, Alma Reville; Herrmann's beautiful, put-upon spouse, Lucy Anderson; and talent agent-turned-studio mogul Lew Wasserman. Wasserman's negotiations made Hitchcock's greatest filmmaking period possible, but over time Lew's commercial instincts as head of Universal Studios clashed with Herrmann's pure artistic vision.

Hitchcock and Herrmann is both a deeply researched historical study and a fast-moving, cinematic narrative -- one that puts readers on the film sets and scoring stages of Hitchcock masterworks. Their collaboration ended in a bitter break; but today Herrmann's pulse-quickening music has become the soundtrack of our own anxious times. The music from their movies is more popular than ever, heard in Quentin Tarantino blockbusters and Lady Gaga music videos. In Smith's expert telling, readers get an an intimate look at two legendary creators who, despite seemingly opposite personalities, found in each other artistic completion.

Famously in Love

A towering figure in music and film, Michel Legrand created some of the most creative and innovative film scores of the second half of the 20th century. The music of his most most successful collaborations -- masterpieces for films such as The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, The Thomas Crown Affair, Summer of '42, and Yentl -- is particularly memorable. As these scores and the stories behind their creation are, they represent one part of Legrand's genius. Over a career that spanned seven decades, Legrand composed the scores for 160 films, winning Oscars and Grammys along the way. Many of his songs have become standards covered by artists as diverse as Tony Bennett, Sarah Vaughan, Rufus Wainwright, and Sting. A prolific and highly versatile composer, Legrand worked with virtually every legendary figure in popular music and film from Maurice Chevalier to Barbra Streisand and from Orson Welles to Jean-Luc Godard. Still active in his late 80s, Legrand composed the score for Orson Welles's posthumously released movie, The Other Side of the Wind (2018). 

Just prior to his death at the age of 87, Legrand sat down with his longtime collaborator Stéphane Lerouge to recount, all the while intermingling present and past, many of the significant and memorable episodes from his life. He speaks of his triumphs but doesn't shy away from revealing rejections, fiascos, missed opportunities, creative insecurities and a nervous breakdown he experienced in Los Angeles at the height of his success. Throughout, he pays homage to the roles played by numerous artists he encountered on both sides of the Atlantic--jazz musicians, singers and lyricists, film directors and music composers, many of whom became his lifelong friends. Translated by Sam Taylor, this book shares Legrand's stories as told to Lerouge to English readers for the first time.

SHY – Band 28

“An excellent history of the queer world’s countless music scenes.” —Emma Alpern, Vulture “An essential book for this moment.” —Rob Sheffield The definitive history of LGBTQ music, from Stonewall to RuPaul, and its impact on culture and American life From the underground dancefloors of the Seventies to the global charts of the Nineties, LGBTQ artists and audiences shaped music’s sound, style, and spirit. In Mighty Real, veteran journalist Barry Walters chronicles its LGBTQ history from the Velvet Underground to the 21st century’s dawn as he honors the artists who redefined gender, defied tradition, and dared to challenge sexual norms with the help of a record business that wasn’t as straight as commonly believed. Drawing on his decades as a New York- and San Francisco-based music critic, Walters examines how LGBTQ musicians, music industry executives, and fans reshaped the mainstream. He connects the dots between David Bowie’s dazzling reinventions, Grace Jones’s androgynous glamor, Prince’s boundary-shattering sexuality, and the radical candor of the Indigo Girls to prove they’re all doing the same thing: fighting oppression. With exuberance, insight, and encyclopedic knowledge, Walters brings to life the songs and society that filled dancefloors, bedrooms, and streets as he uncovers yesteryear’s coded LGBTQ messages that paved the way for today’s unabashedly queer hits. Mighty Real is a masterful love letter to the music that liberated generations, and it’s written in a page-turning, personal way that blurs distinctions between chronicle and memoir. This is the rare and revolutionary music history told to help you laugh, cry, and then rally against lingering inequality.
