Book Description
Tiré du site Internet de Nieves: ""Ariel Pink's haunted Graffiti - Selected lyrics" is the debut print publication solely featuring L.A. songwriter Ariel Pink, and the first survey of his lyrics. Unequivocally influencing underground music in the last decade, Ariel Pink's twisted catalog of pop music also bears an exceedingly animated literary world. With thirty-seven lyrics culled from both well-known and obscure releases, the songs in Selected Lyrics span the entirety of Ariel Pink's recording tenure, and together comprise a kind of "best-of", a one-stop tour of Pink's recurrent themes and fascinations. In "Selected lyrics", Pink's tragic dramas of domestic pain come to vivid life in "L'estat (acc. to the widow's maid)" and in lyrics to some of Pink's most beloved songs "Envelopes another day", "Among dreams" and "Life in L.A." These songs are contrasted by others more brashly and viscerally imagined, such as the lurid saga of the neutered cat in "Jules lost his jewels", the sexually inconclusive gender destroyer "Menopause man," and the Darby Crash-esque "Tractor man", a point-of-view confessional from a roaming marauder on a spree in the farms of California. Contrarily, the flickering lamplit beauty of "Let's build a campfire there" reads like a user-manual for backwoods escape in one of Pink's many tranquil masterpieces : "Our faces float bright like distant porch light / for a stranger who is far from home / let's build a campfire there." As the Haunted fraffiti namesake conveys, an antagonistic notion of defacement remains a core feature of Pink's talent for dispatching lyrics in so many indelible guises and seemingly disparate consciousnesses. "Selected lyrics" explores this range, and gives fans authoritative transcriptions of Pink's most classic material, which, famously, has been so difficult to comprehend by ear due to lower-fidelity recordings. Included in the text are several pages of lyrics in their original hand, a reproduction of a fantastic unseen drawing by Ariel Pink, and a thorough discography in the index."

Specters of Marx
Author: Jacques Derrida
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136758607
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
Prodigiously influential, Jacques Derrida gave rise to a comprehensive rethinking of the basic concepts and categories of Western philosophy in the latter part of the twentieth century, with writings central to our understanding of language, meaning, identity, ethics and values. In 1993, a conference was organized around the question, 'Whither Marxism?’, and Derrida was invited to open the proceedings. His plenary address, 'Specters of Marx', delivered in two parts, forms the basis of this book. Hotly debated when it was first published, a rapidly changing world and world politics have scarcely dented the relevance of this book.

Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy
Author: Gabriella Coleman
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1781689830
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 497
Book Description
The ultimate book on the worldwide movement of hackers, pranksters, and activists collectively known as Anonymous—by the writer the Huffington Post says “knows all of Anonymous’ deepest, darkest secrets” “A work of anthropology that sometimes echoes a John le Carré novel.” —Wired Half a dozen years ago, anthropologist Gabriella Coleman set out to study the rise of this global phenomenon just as some of its members were turning to political protest and dangerous disruption (before Anonymous shot to fame as a key player in the battles over WikiLeaks, the Arab Spring, and Occupy Wall Street). She ended up becoming so closely connected to Anonymous that the tricky story of her inside–outside status as Anon confidante, interpreter, and erstwhile mouthpiece forms one of the themes of this witty and entirely engrossing book. The narrative brims with details unearthed from within a notoriously mysterious subculture, whose semi-legendary tricksters—such as Topiary, tflow, Anachaos, and Sabu—emerge as complex, diverse, politically and culturally sophisticated people. Propelled by years of chats and encounters with a multitude of hackers, including imprisoned activist Jeremy Hammond and the double agent who helped put him away, Hector Monsegur, Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy is filled with insights into the meaning of digital activism and little understood facets of culture in the Internet age, including the history of “trolling,” the ethics and metaphysics of hacking, and the origins and manifold meanings of “the lulz.”

Let's Go to Hell
Author: James Burns
Publisher: Cheap Drugs
ISBN: 9780578164397
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 506
Book Description
The Butthole Surfers remain one of the most enigmatic bands in the history of rock music. Most of their records have no information of any kind, and often with the suggestion that you play them at 69 rpm.... They lived like nomads through much of the 1980s, and built their reputation upon tours that never ended, and shows that resembled hedonistic acid tests. They left a heap of former band members in their wake, and have often alienated as many fans as they've attracted. Here for the first time is the complete story of one of the most controversial and dangerous bands to have emerged from the ashes of the punk rock movement. 'Let's Go to Hell' compiles the scattered memories into the first comprehensive overview of the band. Featuring exclusive interviews, tons of rare and unpublished photographs, and analysis of the band's vast recorded (and unrecorded) efforts, 'Let's Go to Hell' finally tells the story that was thought (and often hoped) would never be told...

Clarks in Jamaica
Author: Al Fingers
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780956777393
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
In Jamaica, Clarks are loved like no other brand. They are the island's ruling name in footwear -- the "champion shoes" -- and it has been that way for as long as anybody can remember. This book celebrates the rich history of Clarks in Jamaica, with a focus on the Jamaican reggae and dancehall musicians who have worn and sung about Clarks shoes through the years. Documenting the origins of the Clarks brand in 1825 through to the introduction of their shoes into Jamaica in the 1920s and the impact of styles such as the Desert Boot, Wallabee and Desert Trek on the island, Clarks in Jamaica explores how footwear made by a Quaker firm in the quiet English village of Street, Somerset became the "baddest" shoes in Jamaica and an essential part of the island's culture. Building on the success of the first release in 2011, this updated second edition includes new interviews, previously unseen photographs, insights into Jamaica's favourite styles of Clarks from former company employees, and an expanded chapter on Jamaican fashion detailing the histories of island fashion staples such as the mesh marina (string vest), Arrow shirt, knits ganzie and beaver hat. Beautifully presented and thoroughly researched, Clarks in Jamaica is a wonderful document of Clarks' deep roots in Jamaican culture, a fitting tribute to the rich cultural exchange that has taken place between Jamaica and the UK that will appeal as much to Jamaicaphiles and lovers of Clarks shoes as to musicologists, fashion stylists and cultural historians.
