Download or read book Thom Yorke - Radiohead & Trading Solo written by Trevor Baker and published by Bonnier Zaffre. This book was released on 2009-02-26 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radiohead is a band with few peers - acclaimed, multi-platinum-selling, globe-trotting and a critics’ favourite. At the epicentre are the strangely compelling and yet unusual features of their mercurial lead singer, Thom Yorke, one of rock music’s most enigmatic personalities. This is the first ever biography of Yorke... The tale of the extraordinary drive, ambition and perfectionism of just one man. Thom Yorke’s personal story has never been told and this biography tells that tale with the help of in-depth interviews from former classmates, previous band members, producers and video makers and other key players in his life. This biography chronicles his remarkable life from the formative childhood experiences as a public schoolboy that first shaped his songs, through to each Radiohead album - from his perspective - as well as his solo work and expansive charitable and ecological campaigns. Thom Yorke: Radiohead & Trading Solo provides a fascinating portrait of a man who never settles for second best and decided that stardom, on its own, just wasn’t enough.
Book Synopsis Consumer Detox by : Revd. Mark Powley
Download or read book Consumer Detox written by Revd. Mark Powley and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumerism is everywhere. It shapes the way we eat, shop, rest, think, love and believe. We can’t escape it, but how can we live well in the midst of it? We are daily seduced by a 250 billion dollar marketing machine. But how often do we consider how this might influence us? The current prevailing orthodoxy is that life should be lived to the max. By contrast, Jesus modeled a life of joyful limitation – free to do; free not to do. Consumer Detox, complete with the Detox Diary in the back of the book with suggestions for each chapter, encouraging stories, and space for writing personal reflections, is for those who want to break out of a lifestyle dominated by consumerism and journey toward a richer, simpler, more generous life. Consumer Detox, written out of Mark Powley’s experience of making a change in his own life, is a three part book that will help you break out of the consumer mindset, slow down to enjoy the natural rhythms of life, and live a life of generosity. This book isn’t about living a smaller life but having a bigger vision, which can help you become everything you were made to be.
Book Synopsis This Isn't Happening by : Steven Hyden
Download or read book This Isn't Happening written by Steven Hyden and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE MAKING AND MEANING OF RADIOHEAD'S GROUNDBREAKING, CONTROVERSIAL, EPOCHDEFINING ALBUM, KID A. In 1999, as the end of an old century loomed, five musicians entered a recording studio in Paris without a deadline. Their band was widely recognized as the best and most forward-thinking in rock, a rarefied status granting them the time, money, and space to make a masterpiece. But Radiohead didn't want to make another rock record. Instead, they set out to create the future. For more than a year, they battled writer's block, intra-band disagreements, and crippling self-doubt. In the end, however, they produced an album that was not only a complete departure from their prior guitar-based rock sound, it was the sound of a new era-and it embodied widespread changes catalyzed by emerging technologies just beginning to take hold of the culture. What they created was Kid A. Upon its release in 2000, Radiohead's fourth album divided critics. Some called it an instant classic; others, such as the UK music magazine Melody Maker, deemed it "tubby, ostentatious, self-congratulatory... whiny old rubbish." But two decades later, Kid A sounds like nothing less than an overture for the chaos and confusion of the twenty-first century. Acclaimed rock critic Steven Hyden digs deep into the songs, history, legacy, and mystique of Kid A, outlining the album's pervasive influence and impact on culture in time for its twentieth anniversary in 2020. Deploying a mix of criticism, journalism, and personal memoir, Hyden skillfully revisits this enigmatic, alluring LP and investigates the many ways in which Kid A shaped and foreshadowed our world.

Book Synopsis Rational Approach for Middle Managers by : Rajiva Sharma
Download or read book Rational Approach for Middle Managers written by Rajiva Sharma and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Middle managers maintain a central position in organizational hierarchies, are responsible for implementing senior management strategies, and exercise control over junior staff. Their problems will be different compared to those of the green horns and accountability will be more. Thus they will have more powers. They will be required to handle more stress both at work place and home. Children will be growing and their requirements will be increasing. It is expected that the middle managers would have overcome seven-year itch after marriage and they would have crossed over differences with their spouse and having a smooth life. The topics covered in this book may already be known to you but I have attempted to consolidate them at one place as an Aide de Memoire. It was a herculean task to include all possible ones in this small book but exposures to these will orient readers to select areas of their concerns and develop them as own-time work. This book suggests to readers how they can prepare for the middle level management phase of career/life. The writing is simple to read and is divided into two parts. One—how to prepare and face different scenarios and in part two—the case studies. So learn from others’ experience as you don’t have time to learn from yours.
