Rumours of My Demise

A Memoir

California Studies in Music, Sound, and Media

Interrogating the recent proliferation of audio apps, smart speakers, sleep aids, and prenatal sound systems that promise a better life through sound, this book explores how these technologies came to be promoted as a cheap solution for capitalism's inevitable crisis of reproduction. Marie Thompson shows how--at a time when, for many, accessing and providing care are increasingly under pressure--sound and music are sold as tools to support caregiving, child rearing, domestic management, and pregnancy. Connecting this phenomenon to shifting gendered, racial, and global divisions of labor, the making of the modern family, the changing political economy of music, and evolving discourses of automation, The Sonic Surrogate sheds light on the many reproductions implicated in sound reproduction.

Music, Technology, and the Crisis of Reproduction

The Sonic Surrogate

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.

'Hayden Panettiere holds nothing back: From child stardom to crushing loss, this is her truth' US Weekly 'There's no easy way to share your story with the world, but I'm an optimist to the core and refuse to be defined by my tragedies. Life can shake you up and tear you down, but even when you're at your worst, there's hope, and you have an opportunity to rebuild.' Heroes and Nashville star Hayden Panettiere reclaims her story in a remarkably candid memoir. Hayden Panettiere's career in entertainment began before she was old enough to walk. From early commercials to film and television roles in hits like Remember the Titans, her career unfolded in the public eye resulting in tremendous success by her early teens. She had become a fixture of early-2000s pop culture, earning acclaim for performances in Heroes, Nashville (which earned her two Golden Globe nominations) and beyond-while quietly carrying the weight of expectations that came with being Hollywood's "It girl." Behind the image was a far more complicated reality. As Hayden entered adulthood, the industry that once felt playful grew unforgiving. The pressure placed on young performers, the hefty price that often comes with fame, and how quickly someone else can take control of your story. She recounts being scrutinized by tabloids, watching her body and private pain become public property, and performing storylines on-screen that echoed trauma she was living through off camera. In this memoir, Hayden shares a rare and intimate glimpse into her life behind closed doors opening up about postpartum depression, addiction and recovery, trauma, domestic abuse, and loss. She holds nothing back as she reflects on the moments she calls "lifequakes"- experiences that fractured her sense of self and forced her to rebuild it from the inside out. In This Is Me: A Reckoning Hayden showcases her most vulnerable role yet . . . this is her story on her terms.

FINALIST FOR THE LAMBDA LITERARY PRIZE 2026 A FOYLES AND GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR SHORTLISTED FOR THE GOLDSMITHS PRIZE 'A work of genius' Philip Hoare 'One of the best things I've read in many many years' Hilton Als 'Beautifully provocative' Eimear McBride A story of loss and grief, sex and love, and refusing to relinquish dreams He said he would understand if it was too much for me, that I could leave him, that I was young, I should be living, I said to him, I am living. Johnny Grant faces stark life decisions. Seeking answers, he looks back to his relationship with Jerry Field. When they met, nearly thirty years ago, Johnny was 19, Jerry was 45. They fell in love and made a life on their own terms in Jerry's flat: 1, Nova Scotia House. Johnny is still there today - but Jerry is gone, and so is the world they knew. As Johnny's mind travels between then and now, he begins to remember stories of Jerry's youth: of experiments in living; of radical philosophies; of the many possibilities of love, sex and friendship before the AIDS crisis devastated the queer community. Slowly, he realizes what he must do next-and attempts to restore ways of being that could be lost forever. Nova Scotia House takes us to the heart of a relationship, a community and an era. It is both a love story and a lament; bearing witness to the enduring pain of the AIDS pandemic and honouring the joys and creativity of queer life. Intimate, visionary, and profoundly original, it marks the debut of a vibrant new voice in contemporary fiction, and a writer with a liberating new story to tell.

Iconic rapper, entrepreneur and New York Times bestselling author Rick Ross takes readers on the road trip of a lifetime in this indispensable guide to creativity, reinvention and greatness It's been nearly twenty years since Rick Ross broke out with his 2005 debut single "Hustlin'.” Since then, he’s cemented his legacy in hip-hop and found success in dozens of endeavors beyond music. But as Ross approaches 50, he finds himself in unfamiliar territory: a mid-life crisis. His first creative rut. The Renaissance of a Boss tells the story of how Rick Ross rediscovered his spark, taking readers on an unforgettable journey that includes: • Ross’ failed attempt to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, and the unexpected lessons he learned; • an open road adventure, from Graceland to Santa Fe, where Ross seeks answers to life’s biggest questions; • an inside look into Ross’ celebrity collaborations with Dr. Dre, Bruno Mars, and Bill Murray and more; • behind-the-scenes stories of how his biggest hits came to be; • a shrooms-induced hallucination that you’ll have to read to believe; In the same open spirit as his New York Times bestsellers Hurricanes and The Perfect Day to Boss Up, The Renaissance of a Boss gives readers a blueprint for success from one of the most prolific minds in music. The epic journey takes Ross to Elvis Presley's Graceland estate in Memphis, Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo and ultimately a Native American sweat lodge ceremony in Santa Fe. Along the way, Ross reflects on his creative process, the artists who have inspired him, and shares his own rituals and habits that made him into one of the most prolific minds in music today.

Roll the Calls¿is as ferociously powerful as the iconic figure at its centre, Ari Emanuel - the inspiration for¿Entourage's Ari Gold, and one of the most legendary powerbrokers of all time - a man who made rage and chaos into the instruments of his success.Expertly written with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and biographer J. R. Moehringer,¿Roll the Calls¿takes us on a blistering and intimate journey into every battle Ari Emanuel has fought, with raw emotion and unrelenting profanity: a tremendous reading experience and the must-read book of the year.Ari Emanuel is one of the most influential people in the world, but he's also something of a mystery. Part of the reason is Emanuel's job description. As a Hollywood super-agent, he's paid to speak for his clients, not himself.But no more. Now, for the first time, the agent, the mogul, the iconic power broker speaks for himself, about himself, and about the game of life, often at the top of his lungs. In¿Roll the Calls,¿a fiery, furious memoir, Emanuel gives an insider's account of every major success and setback, every triumphant merger and nasty breakup, every hard-won lesson and crushing mistake.In excruciating, comical detail, he recounts the trajectory of his brilliant career, from clerking in the mailroom of CAA to striking out on his own, launching a new firm with three other agents and no money, eventually signing some of the most glittering names in show business, including Larry David, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Scorsese and Oprah Winfrey. Along the way, Emanuel was also raising four kids, coping with a failing marriage and fighting to find love again.Told in taut, telegraphic prose, with uncommon humility and ribald humour,¿Roll the Calls¿shatters the mould of stodgy CEO memoirs. It's a story about success and failure, creativity and persistence, and the priceless value of simply never giving up -a master class in blocking out the naysayers and pushing forward through every bitter defeat.
