Book by book, year by year, the ultimate literary trip through Bowies greatest decade. With his first starring role in a feature film and his first number 1s on both sides of the Atlantic, 1975 ought to be David Bowies golden year. But away from the spotlight the suave soul boy of Young Americans is tumbling into a self-made hell of cocaine, witchcraft and the dark fantasies of his new fascist alter-ego, the Thin White Duke. As David goes berserk in the Hollywood hills, back in the Britain hes forsaken theres a Nazi-crazed murderer stalking the streets where he was born, a masked rapist at large and a power-mad grocers daughter on the rise, while sappy nostalgia grinds pop to a standstill. But there are also restless scamps hanging around a certain Kings Road clothes shop, and Davids own drug-fuelled genius daring him to make the album of his life. The Seventies are about to reignite with a bang. The sixth volume in Simon Goddards epic adventure through Bowies greatest decade, Bowie Odyssey 75 is an intricately plotted tour de force of rocknroll, crime, punishment, politics, punk and a cautionary tale of tragicomic addiction.

We All Shine On is the personal intimate and at times heart breaking memoir of an extraordinary friendship giving a first hand view of what it was like to be close to one of the most famous couples of all time From the moment he interviewed Yoko Ono on his late night radio show in September 1971 Elliot Mintz s life would never the same again That phone call would lead him to an intense and revealing friendship with Yoko and her husband John Lennon until John s untimely death in 1980 and beyond to the present day In 1971 then the talk host on American airwaves Elliot Mintz was talking to all of the major figures in the burgeoning West Coast music scene when he was asked whether he would interview Yoko about her new album Their talk quickly lead to other private calls and then to John Lennon with whom he quickly formed a firm bond Those conversations became hours long epics to the extent that Elliot had another phone line put in for which only two people had the number John and Yoko The aftermath of The Beatles breakup ushered in a tumultuous decade Elliot witnessed it or heard all about it at close hand including the unbearable cost of such fame when John and Yoko separated for what became known as his lost weekend There was joy when their s

El corrido tumbado está cambiando de dueño. En un campo hasta ahora dominado por los hombres, las mujeres están empezando a reclamar su lugar. Así, figuras como Jenny 69, Michelle Maciel e Ivonne Galaz se perfilan como la contraparte femenina de Peso Pluma y Natanael Cano. Ellas son las morras tumbadas. Pero ¿como influyen estas nuevas voces sobre el genero del corrido?, ¿que cambios operan sobre el? y ¿como se relacionan con una tradicion eminentemente masculina? Los corridos, derivados de la musica regional mexicana, reflejan la realidad de las experiencias de jovenes contemporaneos. En un campo musical fundado sobre codigos de virilidad y dominado por hombres, las mujeres han tenido que crear sus propias estrategias para tomar protagonismo. A traves de la musica, buscan participar en la cultura y sentirse fuertes, empoderadas, dueñas de sus propios cuerpos. Pero, a la vez, parecen no poder escapar de los intereses comerciales de un sistema salvajemente neoliberal: presentismo, desclasamiento y encumbramiento del dinero. Los corridos de las morras tumbadas han resignificado la escena de la musica mexicana. Participes de discursos similares a los de sus equivalentes masculinos ?con letras que ensalzan la violencia y la narcocultura?, las morras dan un sentido nuevo a los viejos codigos: si en el hombre la violencia es afan de sometimiento, en las mujeres es lucha de resistencia, intento de huida del control masculino. Sus propuestas se inscriben (de manera implicita y contradictoria) en una larga historia tapizada con esfuerzos libertarios de millones de mujeres y los intentos de los hombres para mantener incolume su dominacion, dentro de un sistema capitalista, patriarcal y colonial.

Music is shaped by the science of sound How can music an artform have anything to do with science Yet there are myriad ways in which the two are intertwined from the basics of music theory and the design of instruments to hi fi systems and how the brain processes music Science writer Andrew May traces the surprising connections between science and music from the theory of sound waves to the way musicians use mathematical algorithms to create music The most obvious impact of science on music can be seen in the way electronic technology has revolutionised how we create record and listen to music Technology has also provided new insights into the effects that different music has on the brain to the extent that some algorithms can now predict our reactions with uncanny accuracy which raises a worrying question how long will it be before AI can create music on a par with humans

When Stalin came to power making music in Russia became dangerous Composers now had to create work that served the socialist state and all artistic production was scrutinized for potential subversion In The Sound of Utopia Michel Krielaars vividly depicts Soviet musicians and composers struggling to create art in a climate of risk suspicion and fear Some successfully toed the ideological line diluting their work in the process others ended up facing the Gulag or even death While some like Sergei Prokofiev achieved lasting fame others were consigned to oblivion their work still hard to find As Krielaars traces the twists and turns of these artists fortunes he paints a fascinating and disturbing portrait of the absurdity of Soviet musical life and of the people who crafted sublime melodies under the darkest circumstances
