The living embodiment of The Beatles and a musical juggernaut without parallel, Paul McCartney is undoubtedly the patriarch of pop. In this authoritative biography, acclaimed author and journalist Howard Sounes creates the most accurate and extensive profile of McCartney ever built, leaving no stone unturned, and no shadow unexplored. He is the torch-bearer of the Beatles -- the greatest band in pop -- and one of the most closely studied stars in show business. But surprises and secrets still linger in the life of Sir Paul McCartney. In FAB, his full story is told for the first time. Acclaimed author Howard Sounes spent more than two years investigating every aspect of Sir Paul's life and work, including interviewing over 200 people. The result is the richest and more comprehensive biography of McCartney ever written. Uniquely, FAB pays equal attention to the story of Paul McCartney both in the Beatles and post-Beatles, creating a unique narrative spanning the arc of the artist's life. FAB culminates in the sensational human story of Sir Paul's calamitous marriage to Heather Mills, which is fully revealed for the first time. Sounes proves a judicious critic of the music of an iconic star while also delivering a superb psychological portrait of the man.

El volumen que tiene el lector entre susmanos atesora las contribuciones científicas presentadas en ell Congreso Interdisciplinar Investigación y Flamenco -INFLA, celebrado en la EscuelaTécnica Superior de Ingenieros de la Universidad de Sevilla los dias 8 y 9 de Junio de 2009. En este marco, las inquietudes en torno a la investigacion sobre el Arte Flamenco, asi como la necesidad de proteccion, conservacion, tratamiento documental y difusion del patrimonio cultural andaluz conducen a enfocar el estudio del Flamenco desde el punto de vista de la investigacion universitaria. El objetivo fundamental trazado en este evento es, en consecuencia, la creacion y forja de un espacio universitario que constituya, de (acto, un motor de investigacion cientifica circunscrito a la musica flamenca, entendiendo que esta se encuentra interrelacionada con otras musicas y ciencias, cuyos enfoques ponen de relieve un tratamiento riguroso y analitico en el ambito academico. Eneste marco se ubica, al tiempo, el Programa de Doctorado Estudios Avanzados en Flamenco. Analisis Interdisciplinar, que se imparte, con dedicacion vocacional y compromiso, en la Universidad de Sevilla, asicomo el grupo interuniversitario de investigacion COFLA (analisis COmputacional de la musica FLAmenca), al que se encuentran adscritos los coordinadores de la presente obra.

In 1964, North America had a second revolution but this time we welcomed the British! That year, four mop-tops known as The Beatles made their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, ushering in a new era of British music, film, fashion, and art. This richly illustrated and informative volume celebrates the pivotal cultural moment when the United States took on a British accent. The huge influx of talent from across the pond included not only the The Beatles, but also The Dave Clark Five, The Kinks, The Moody Blues, Them (and Van Morrison), The Yardbirds, The Who, and, of course, The Rolling Stones. But the invasion wasn't only musical: Peter O'Toole, Julie Andrews, Sean Connery, and Michael Caine made a splash in Hollywood, while films like Goldfinger, Alfie, and What's New, Pussycat? topped box-office charts. The Avengers became cult TV, and Carnaby Street defined hip style, turning Mary Quant, Twiggy, and Jean Shrimpton into fashion icons. Filled with photographs that capture one of the most exciting artistic periods in recent history, this is an evocative, irresistible look back.

Este nuevo trabajo de Soler no se trata de una casualidad es un fruto más del autor, eso sí, frutos cada vez menos optimistas y con un jugo cada vez más amargo. El autor espera que las líneas de este libro sirvan al menos para tocar el corazón de nuestro corazón aunque sea el de una sola persona. Josep Soler es Premio Nacional de Música (2009) y XI Premio Tomás Luis de Victoria (2011).

You will hear a Nile Rodgers song today. It will make you happy. Today's pop music—genre-crossing, gender-bending, racially mixed, visually stylish, and dominated by dance music with global appeal—is the world that Nile Rodgers created. In the 1970s and 1980s, he wrote and produced the songs that defined that era and everything that came after: "Le Freak," "Good Times," "We Are Family," "Like a Virgin," "Modern Love," "I'm Coming Out," "The Reflex," "Rapper's Delight." Aside from his own band, Chic, he worked with everyone from Diana Ross and Madonna to David Bowie and Duran Duran (not to mention Mick Jagger, Debbie Harry, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Michael Jackson, Prince, Rod Stewart, Robert Plant, Depeche Mode, Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, Grace Jones, Bryan Ferry, INXS, and the B-52's), transforming their music, selling millions of records, and redefining what a pop song could be. But before he reinvented pop music, Nile Rodgers invented himself. He was born into a mixed-race, bicoastal family of dope-fiend bohemians who taught him everything he needed to know about love, loss, fashion, art, music, and the subversive power of underground culture. The stars of the scene were his glamorous teenage mom and heroin-addicted Jewish stepfather, but there were also monkeys, voodoo orishas, jazz cats, and serial killers in the mix. By the time he was sixteen, Nile was on his own, busking through the sixties, half-hippie and half-Black Panther. He jammed with Jimi Hendrix, rocked out at Max's Kansas City, toured with Big Bird on Sesame Street's road show, and played in the legendary Apollo Theater house band behind history's greatest soul singers. And then one night, he discovered disco..CONTINÚA

Harto de todo es una historia oral de la erupción del punk en la ciudad de Barcelona durante los años 1979 y 1987, y recoge la experiencia personal de una serie de pioneros que vivieron el gérmen y evolución de dicha comunidad. En Harto de todo abundan las confesiones de los primeros grupos de punk y hardcore condal (Último Resorte, Attak, Shit S.A., Kangrena, Sentido Común, Frenopaticss, L'Odi Social, GRB, Subterranean Kids, HHH, Skatalà...), pero también de los implicados en fanzines (NDF), radios libres (Radio P.I.C.A), primeras tiendas o locales autogestionados (Informe o Kafe Volter) o, sencillamente, los héroes callejeros que dieron el bravo paso de declararse punks en la grisácea España de 1979. A través del testimonio honesto y apasionado de todos estos exploradores descubrimos sus descubrimientos: su primer contacto con el punk rock; cómo se fusionaron la rabia autóctona con los preceptos de un movimiento juvenil inglés, adaptando su estética e ideología al sentir cotidiano de nuestros protagonistas; el nacimiento del Do It Yourself (o autogestión); la conexión con otros francotiradores similares de todo el mundo y la creación de una red de información a nivel internacional; el papel de las drogas (heroína y speed); las primeras ocupaciones de edificios; la progresiva concienciación política de los punks y su evolución músical, estética e ideológica hacia el hardcore (y el papel que representó la visita de los americanos MDC en esta mutación), la aparición de los skinheads y su posterior bifurcación en dos ramas políticas opuestas, y un largo etcétera. Y, por encima de todo ello, la música: fiera, veloz, intensa, rabiosa, hecha por ellos y para ellos. Harto de todo es, por todo ello, un documento vital que registra por vez primera de forma seria y veraz la eclosión e historia del punk y hardcore catalán. Realizado con patente amor y rebosante de detalle, repleto de espectacular material visual de archivo y escrito con arrebatadora sinceridad, este es un trabajo de importancia equiparable a cénits foráneos del género como Por favor mátame (una historia oral del punk), Banned in DC, From the Velvets to the Voidoids o Hardcore California, y no puede faltar en la bibliografía de ningún estudioso/aficionado al género.

Founding member of Megadeth and former Metallica guitarist Dave Mustaine tells a never-before-heard story of the lifetime he has spent in rock 'n' roll. But this extraordinary tale, riddled with his own personal ups and downs, is also the inside account of two of the most influential heavy metal bands in the world. Here, for the first time ever, Dave Mustaine tells the tale of two of the biggest metal bands in history; a story yet to be told from the inside. Metallica, the pioneers of the thrash metal genre, rocketed to international fame in the 1980s, selling over 90 million records worldwide, making it the most successful band of its kind -- ever. Megadeth, the second most successful thrash metal band ever, have sold more than 20 million albums worldwide, including six consecutive platinum albums. Despite their enormous success together, Dave and Metallica have bad blood by the bucket-load. In April of 1983, due in part to alcoholism and in part to personality clashes with founding members Hetfield and Ulrich, Dave was unceremoniously fired from the band, dumped at a Greyhound bus station in Rochester, NY with a single ticket back to LA. How did such an abrupt end come about? How did he pick himself back up, recover his dignity, and go on to send another band into the dizzying heights of rock stardom? The time has come to set the record straight. From the early, crazy days of Metallica to his split with the band, and to his glorious reign with Megadeth, Dave has seen and experienced life's extremities. This startlingly candid, refreshingly in-your-face memoir tells it all.
