Download or read book Songbooks written by Eric Weisbard and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-23 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Songbooks, critic and scholar Eric Weisbard offers a critical guide to books on American popular music from William Billings's 1770 New-England Psalm-Singer to Jay-Z's 2010 memoir Decoded. Drawing on his background editing the Village Voice music section, coediting the Journal of Popular Music Studies, and organizing the Pop Conference, Weisbard connects American music writing from memoirs, biographies, and song compilations to blues novels, magazine essays, and academic studies. The authors of these works are as diverse as the music itself: women, people of color, queer writers, self-educated scholars, poets, musicians, and elites discarding their social norms. Whether analyzing books on Louis Armstrong, the Beatles, and Madonna; the novels of Theodore Dreiser, Gayl Jones, and Jennifer Egan; or varying takes on blackface minstrelsy, Weisbard charts an alternative history of American music as told through its writing. As Weisbard demonstrates, the most enduring work pursues questions that linger across time period and genre—cultural studies in the form of notes on the fly, on sounds that never cease to change meaning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author’s parents and grandparents and several aunts, as far back as he remembers frequently told him to finish school and go to college to learn the skill of a lawyer. That was due to Paul’s excellent memory and inquisitive mind; and to become a lawyer they believed that Paul could help a lot of people! Paul had every intent on fulfilling the dreams of his parents and grandparents but the tables turned and trouble at school started to aggrandize so he dropped out of high school. Paul’s cousin, Farley, introduced him to the dope game when he was about fourteen years old. Mr. Claude W. Austin, Jr., the author’s father purchased all instruments for a band; having five sons perhaps he perceived that they would pick them up and take it to success. The younger brothers, Claude Jr., and Dallas, learned to play some of the instruments. And even though Paul could sing very well, he found selling drugs more interesting. When Paul was about eighteen, he met a former prostitute that was about thirty-three and she often talked about some of the things that the pimp was popular for and had her and the other hookers carrying out. Elaine was working a 9 to 5 job and she invited Paul to move in with her and she pledged to take care of him!! But by then, Paul had realized that he was a Casanova, and therefore he wasn’t gonna allow one woman to corral him!!! Paul’s idea on pimping came from Elaine.

Download or read book Book Reports written by Robert Christgau and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this generous collection of book reviews and literary essays, legendary Village Voice rock critic Robert Christgau showcases the passion that made him a critic—his love for the written word. Many selections address music, from blackface minstrelsy to punk and hip-hop, artists from Lead Belly to Patti Smith, and fellow critics from Ellen Willis and Lester Bangs to Nelson George and Jessica Hopper. But Book Reports also teases out the popular in the Bible and 1984 as well as pornography and science fiction, and analyzes at length the cultural theory of Raymond Williams, the detective novels of Walter Mosley, the history of bohemia, and the 2008 financial crisis. It establishes Christgau as not just the Dean of American Rock Critics, but one of America's most insightful cultural critics as well.
Book Synopsis This Ain't the Summer of Love by : Steve Waksman
Download or read book This Ain't the Summer of Love written by Steve Waksman and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2009-02-04 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Waksman brings a new understanding to familiar material by treating it in an original and stimulating manner. This book tells 'the other side of the story.'"—Philip Auslander, author of Performing Glam Rock: Gender and Theatricality in Popular Music "While there are a number of histories of punk and metal and numerous biographies of important bands within each genre, there is no comparable book to This Ain't the Summer of Love. The ultimate contribution the book makes is to provoke the reader into rethinking the ongoing fluid relationship between punk, a music that enjoyed considerable critical support, and metal, a music that has been systematically denigrated by critics. This book is the product of superior scholarship; it truly breaks fresh ground and as such it is an important book that will be regularly cited in future work."—Rob Bowman, Professor of Music at York University and author of Soulsville USA: The Story of Stax Records "Debunking simplistic assumptions that punk rebelled and heavy metal conformed, Steve Waksman demonstrates with precisely chosen examples that for decades the two shared strategies and concerns. As a result, this important volume is among the first to extend to rock history the same much-needed revisionism that elsewhere has transformed our understanding of minstrelsy, blues, country music, and pop."—Eric Weisbard, author of Use Your Illusion I & II

When DCI Bran Reece is called to the bloody crime scene of a murdered woman, he thinks the case is his. But the new Chief Superintendent has other ideas. She sees the recently widowed Reece as a volatile risk-taker and puts him on leave, forcing him to watch from the sidelines. Or so she thinks. DS Elan Jenkins soon realises her boss’s replacement is out of his depth and takes matters into her own hands. But Elan unknowingly puts herself and others in grave danger. Can Reece and Jenkins overcome their personal issues and solve the case? The truth might be closer to home than either of them is willing to admit… She's Next He knows her name . . . Where she lives . . . And wants her dead. Dr Richard Wellman is a Consultant Anaesthetist at the University Hospital in Cardiff. He’s also a disturbed serial killer with a grudge. Back at work after being shot, DCI Bran Reece is still struggling following his wife’s murder nearly eighteen months earlier. As Reece and his team investigate a number of separate murders, he suspects they are linked, despite the evidence suggesting otherwise. With Reece fast closing in on the doctor, can he bring the man to justice without ending up in the firing line for a second time? Or will his preoccupation with an old foe blind him to the fact that a member of his own team might be in mortal danger? Isla's Missing Some secrets are best taken to the grave. Jailed thirty years ago for a murder he didn’t commit, Arvel Baines has been plotting his revenge ever since. He’s going to ruin the lives of all those responsible for framing him. And one man, in particular, will be made to suffer more than the rest. When the son of the true killer wakes up on his kitchen floor to find his wife dead and teenage daughter missing, so begins a deadly game of cat and mouse. Soon the Murder Squad are tasked with finding the missing girl, drawing DCI Reece into the mix. Can Baines carry out his gruesome vendetta before he’s caught? Will Reece outsmart another killer? And what happens to the missing Isla? Praise for the DCI Reece Thrillers "A great read, twists and turns and bodies galore." "This is what I call a top-notch crime thriller. Gritty, graphic and laced with one-liners" "This is an excellent, fast-paced, crime mystery that keeps you on your toes." "Gritty Welsh noir with a side order of dark humour."

Download or read book Much Needed Rain written by R.G. Oram and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The door a fraction away, the lock still secured, a turn, that’s all it needed. Nearly ripping the doorknob from the wood as she gripped it savagely, it yielded quickly to her hand. Then, an unexpected feeling of metallic coldness touched the back of her head." Introducing David Lewelyn. He can read your mind. No, not really. But he does know when you’re lying. He’s a lie hunter. You can keep your face as still as wall. You can stiffen yourself like a corpse. You can shut your mouth tight. It won’t matter, because he’ll know. You can’t hide the truth, not from him. But does this make him the perfect liar? When Lewelyn’s secretary, Hannah Miller, is found dead in her apartment with her wrists and ankles bound and countless slashes across her body, he is the LAPD’s immediate suspect, since he was seen at the apartment just hours before the murder. His DNA does not match the sample found at the crime scene, but does that really rule him out as a suspect and should he be allowed to help the police? As the investigation progresses there are few leads to follow. The crime scene is near spotless. The DNA found at the apartment is not registered in the National Database. The few suspects that do emerge provide concrete alibis. And the only person who seems to know anything about Hannah is Lewelyn. As the investigators close in on the truth the prime motive behind the murder emerges. What they uncover is, murder is high in demand. Much Needed Rain offers readers the opportunity to see multiple sides of the story, following the investigator’s path to identifying the killer and glimpsing inside the mind of the killer. R. G. Oram’s debut crime thriller seeks to question readers’ conceptions of a killer and will appeal to fans of the genre, as well as readers looking for a plot that will have them gripped until the end.

Book Synopsis Anna Edes: Novel by : Dezso Kosztolányi
Download or read book Anna Edes: Novel written by Dezso Kosztolányi and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 1993-11-17 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anna Édes is a dark and deeply moving naturalistic novel, a classic work of twentieth-century Hungarian literature. A skillful portrayal of the cruelty and emptiness of bourgeois life, Anna Édes was first published in 1926 and enthusiastically received by the intellectual coffee-house society through which it circulated. The novel was later acknowledged by authors such as Thomas Mann as a model of language and form, and in turn established Dezso Kosztolanyi as one of the most significant writers of Eastern European fiction. Anna is the hard-working and long-suffering heroine, the unhappy maid destroyed by her pitiless employers. Her tragic relationship with them is played out against the political turbulence in Budapest following the First World War. Yet her endurance and revenge are depicted with keen psychological as well as historical insight, becoming, in the words of the translator, "not merely an argument about social conditions but raised to genuine tragedy."
