Living Colour's Time's Up - Professor Or Dr. Kimberly Mack - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Booktok.dk

Living Colour's Time's Up - Professor Or Dr. Kimberly Mack - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Booktok.dk

The iconic Black rock band Living Colour''s Time''s Up , released in 1990, was recorded in the aftermath of the spectacular critical and commercial success of their debut record Vivid . Time''s Up is a musical and lyrical triumph, incorporating distinct forms and styles of music and featuring inspired collaborations with artists as varied as Little Richard, Queen Latifah, Maceo Parker, and Mick Jagger. The clash of sounds and styles don''t immediately fit. The confrontational hardcore-thrash metal - complete with Glover''s apocalyptic wail - in the title track is not a natural companion with Doug E. Fresh''s human beat box on “Tag Team Partners,” but it''s precisely this bold and brilliant collision that creates the barely-controlled chaos. And isn''t rock & roll about chaos?Living Colour''s sophomore effort holds great relevance in light of its forward-thinking politics and lyrical engagement with racism, classism, police brutality, and other social and political issues of great importance. Through interviews with members of Living Colour, and others involved in the making of Time''s Up , Kimberly Mack explores the creation and reception of this artistically challenging album, while examining the legacy of this culturally important and groundbreaking American rock band.

George Michael's Faith - Matthew (music Journalist Horton - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

George Michael's Faith - Matthew (music Journalist Horton - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

On Saturday, June 28, 1986, George Michael picked up his tasselled leather jacket, walked out of London’s Wembley Stadium and cheerfully tore up five years of glittering pop history. He’d just disposed of Wham!, the band he’d formed with school friend Andrew Ridgeley when they were teenagers, and now, at 23, he knew he was all grown up. He just needed to convince everyone else. Faith is what happens when you’ve outstripped your dreams, your peers, your friends and your fans, and no one’s caught up yet. It’s about pouring all of that confusion, insecurity and sizzling ambition into music that comes out confused, insecure and ambitious – and then selling 25 million copies of it. George Michael was always preparing for this and, in the process, he set a template for all disaffected singers making that move. This book examines that model and the themes that went into Faith – from engaging in politics to crossing over to a Black audience and writing classic pop songs to endure – and speaks to the surviving key players to tell the story of how it was made.

Cell Tower - Steven E. (debartolo Chair In Liberal Arts And Professor Of Digital Humanities Jones - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Cropping up everywhere, whether steel latticework or tapered monopoles, encrusted with fiberglass antennas, cell towers raise up high into the air the communications equipment that channels our calls, texts, and downloads. For security reasons, their locations are never advertised. But it’s our romantic notions of connectivity that hide them in plain sight. We want the network to be invisible, ethereal, and ubiquitous. The cell tower stands as a challenge to these desires. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic .

Blanket - Kara (college Of William And Mary Thompson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. We are born into blankets. They keep us alive and they cover us in death. We pull and tug on blankets to see us through the night or an illness. They shield us in mourning and witness our most intimate pleasures. Curious, fearless, vulnerable, and critical, Blanket interweaves cultural critique with memoir to cast new light on a ubiquitous object. Kara Thompson reveals blankets everywhere--film, art, geology, disasters, battlefields, resistance, home--and transforms an ordinary thing into a vibrant and vital carrier of stories and secrets, an object of inheritance and belonging, a companion to uncover. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

BBC Radiophonic Workshop's BBC Radiophonic Workshop - A Retrospective - William L. (freelance Writer Weir - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc -

BBC Radiophonic Workshop's BBC Radiophonic Workshop - A Retrospective - William L. (freelance Writer Weir - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc -

In 1958, an anonymous group of overworked and under-budgeted BBC employees set out to make some new sounds for radio and TV. They ended up changing the course of 20th-century music. For millions of people, the work of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop was the first electronic music they had ever heard. Sampling, loops, and the earliest synthesizers—long before audiences knew what they were—made up the groundbreaking scores for news programs, auto maintenance shows, and children’s programming. They also produced the Doctor Who theme, one of the first electronic music masterpieces.The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and others borrowed from them. A generation of musicians raised on BBC programming—Aphex Twin, Portishead, and Prodigy among them—took these once-alien sounds and carried on the Workshop’s legacy. Ignored for decades by music historians, the Workshop is now recognized as one of the most influential forebears of electronica, psychedelia, ambient music, and synth-pop.

Duran Duran's Rio - Annie Zaleski - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Duran Duran's Rio - Annie Zaleski - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

In the ''80s, the Birmingham, England, band Duran Duran became closely associated with new wave, an idiosyncratic genre that dominated the decade''s music and culture. No album represented this rip-it-up-and-start-again movement better than the act''s breakthrough 1982 LP, Rio . A cohesive album with a retro-futuristic sound—influences include danceable disco, tangy funk, swaggering glam, and Roxy Music''s art-rock—the full-length sold millions and spawned smashes such as "Hungry Like the Wolf" and the title track. However, Rio wasn''t a success everywhere at first; in fact, the LP had to be buffed-up with remixes and reissued before it found an audience in America. The album was further buoyed by colorful music videos, which established Duran Duran as leaders of an MTV-driven second British Invasion, and the group''s cutting-edge visual aesthetic. Via extensive new interviews with band members and other figures who helped Rio succeed, this book explores how and why Rio became a landmark pop-rock album, and examines how the LP was both a musical inspiration—and a reflection of a musical, cultural, and technology zeitgeist.

During the breakdown of an unhappy marriage, writer Joanna Walsh got a job as a hotel reviewer, and began to gravitate towards places designed as alternatives to home.

Madonna's Erotica - Michael Dango - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Madonna's Erotica - Michael Dango - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Everyone wanted Madonna’s 1992 album Erotica to be a scandal. In the midst of a culture war, conservatives wanted it to be proof of the decline of family values. The target of conservative loathing, gay men reeling from the AIDS epidemic wanted it to be a celebration of a sexual culture that had rapidly slipped away. And Madonna herself wanted to sell scandal, which is why she released Erotica in the same season as her erotic thriller Body of Evidence and her pornographic coffee-table book simply titled Sex .But Erotica is more sentimental than pornographic. This ambivalence over sex is what makes the album crucial both for understanding its time and for navigating culture a generation later. As queer politics were transitioning from sexual liberation to civil rights like same-sex marriage, Madonna tried to do both. Her songs proved formative for works of queer theory, which emerged in the academy at the same time as the album. And Erotica was—and is—central to a developing consciousness about cultural appropriation. In this book, Michael Dango considers Erotica and its legacy by drawing both on the intellectual traditions at the center of today’s hysteria over critical race theory and “don’t say gay” and on his own experiences as a gay man too young to know the original carnage of AIDS and too old to grow up assuming he could get married. Madonna offered up Erotica as a key entry in the 1990s culture wars. Her album speaks all the more urgently to the culture wars of today.

Tree - Matthew (harvard University Battles - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Tree explores the forms, uses, and alliances of this living object''s entanglement with humanity, from antiquity to the present. Trees tower over us and yet fade into background. Their lifespan outstrips ours, and yet their wisdom remains inscrutable, treasured up in the heartwood. They serve us in many ways—as keel, lodgepole, and execution site—and yet to become human, we had to come down from their limbs. In this book Matthew Battles follows the tree''s branches across art, poetry, and landscape, marking the edges of imagination with wildness and shadow.

The Paper Garden - Molly Peacock - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Booktok.dk

The Paper Garden - Molly Peacock - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Booktok.dk

In 1772, upon the death of her second husband, Mary Delany arose from her grief, picked up a pair of scissors, and, at the age of seventy-two, created a new art form: mixed-media collage. Over the next decade, Mrs. Delany produced an astonishing 985 botanically correct, breathtaking cut-paper flowers, now housed in the British Museum and referred to as the Flora Delanica . As she tracks the extraordinary life of Delany-friend of George Frideric Handel and Jonathan Swift-internationally acclaimed poet Molly Peacock weaves in delicate parallels in her own life and, in doing so, creates a profound and beautiful examination of the nature of creativity and art. This gorgeously designed book, featuring thirty-five full-color illustrations, is to be devoured as voraciously as one of the court dinners it describes.

Whether you are a cradle Episcopalian or are exploring the denomination, Always Open is an excellent introduction to Anglican beliefs and practices. Down–to–earth and good humored, Always Open explains the essentials of the Anglican approach to authority, the Bible, social and moral questions, dialogue with people of other faiths, and much, much more.

Can's Tago Mago - Alan Warner - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Can's Tago Mago - Alan Warner - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Finally, a brilliant exploration of the German rock band Can''s 1971 album Tago Mago . This hugely unique and influential album deserves close analysis from a fan, rather than a musicologist. Novelist Alan Warner details the concrete music we hear on the album, how it was composed, executed and recorded--including the history of the album in terms of its release, promotion and art work. This tale of Tago Mago is also the tale of a young man obsessed with record collecting in the dark and mysterious period of pop music before Google. Warner includes a backtracking of the history of the band up to that point and also some description of Can''s unique recording approach taking into account their home studio set up.Interviews with the two surviving members: drummer Jaki Liebezeit, keyboardist Irmin Schmidt and bassist Holger Czukay make this a hilariously personal and illuminating picture of Can.

Glass - Professor John S. Garrison - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Booktok.dk

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.Pause and look around: you will see that you are surrounded by glass. It reflects and refracts light through your windows; it encircles a glowing filament above you; it’s in a mirror hanging on the wall; it lies shattered in a dented corner of an iPhone—you’re drinking water out of a pint glass. Taking up a most common object, rarely considered because assumed to be transparent, John Garrison draws evocative connections between historical depictions of glass and emerging visions that see it as holding a unique promise for new forms of interaction. Grounded in everyday examples, this book offers a series of surprising insights into how we increasingly find ourselves living in a world made of glass.Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

Creating a Democratic Climate for Kids - Mary Lou Mccormick - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Creating a Democratic Climate for Kids - Mary Lou Mccormick - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The principles of democracy, freedom, and the rights of individuals are taught from textbooks, but the principles of autocracy and dictatorship are still practiced in most schools and homes. It is no wonder our children feel unsettled, defiant, and even outright rebellious. Many of our young people are growing up ignorant of, and uncommitted to, the great principles upon which our nation was founded. The way to make children committed to our democratic way of life is to make them full participants in it. This new guide is provided to assist educators and parents in making our schools and homes models of democracy, giving our kids the freedom of choice, and bestowing on them the basic rights of citizenship. Parents and educators must unite as democratic leaders to guide, coach, and stimulate our young people to assume responsibility for themselves. The future of our nation may depend on it!
