Book Description
It's 1982 and the Ramones are in a gutter-bound spiral. Following a run of inconsistent albums and deep in the throes of internal tensions, the legendary quartet is about to crash and burn. Enter Richie Ramone. Then a 26-year-old from New Jersey named Richard Reinhardt, he's snapped up by the group to be their new drummer and instantly goes from the obscurity of the underground club scene to membership in the most famous punk-rock band of all time, revitalizing the pioneering outfit with his powerful, precise, and blindingly fast beats – composing classic cuts like the menacing anthem “Somebody Put Something in My Drink” and becoming the only Ramones percussionist to sing lead vocals for the group. With the Ramones, he performs over five hundred shows at venues all around the world and records three storming studio albums – before abruptly quitting the band and going deep underground. To most fans, this crucial figure in the band's history has remained a mystery, his tale untold. Until now. I Know Better Now: My Life Before, During, and After the Ramones is the firsthand, four-on-the-floor account of a life in rock 'n' roll and in one of its most influential acts – straight from the sticks of the man who kept the beat.

Book Description
This novel deals with Contemporary African Diaspora lived-experiences in the Western world, conceptualized as "These Parts." It is inhabited by three main contemporary African Diaspora characters whose composite experiences of dialogic reminiscing and monologic reflections inform the architecture of the narrative of despondency, morbidity, and alienation. At the core of the story are struggles that Africans go through overseas and the ways that such struggles shape their consciousness and perspectives on both the Western world and Africa The quest for the "Velvet." a metaphor designating "Western" materialism serves as a magnet that lures Africans overseas. Paradoxically. the "Velvet is also a watershed of hopelessness and uncertain future for Africa. Although, the setting of the story is overseas or "These Parts." characters ruminate over their experiences in Ghana, both before and after their sojourn overseas. Thus, in many ways, Ghana serves as an epistemic site symbolizing Africa as a whole The story is written for the general public, but will be indispensable on the book shelves of students of African History, African Studies, Diaspora Studies, Hegemony and the Postcolonial Studies, Heritage Studies. Cultural Studies, and Migration and Transnational Studies.

Book Description
A collection of lyrics and autobiographical commentary by singer Mark Lanegan, with a preface by John Cale and a foreword by Moby With a voice that Pitchfork has called "as scratchy as a three-day beard yet as supple and pliable as moccasin leather," former Screaming Trees and Queens of the Stone Age vocalist Mark Lanegan draws frequent comparisons to masters like Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen. Lanegan's voice is one of the most distinct and recognizable in rock, but his talents aren't limited to his vocal skills. Lanegan's lyrics are on par with the best of them, exploring with Blake-like insight the stark and scorched emotional terrain that exists somewhere beyond sadness, addiction, trauma, and spiritual longing. With a body of work that now includes seven albums with the Screaming Trees, eleven acclaimed solo albums, three albums of duets with Belle and Sebastian's Isobel Campbell (including the Mercury Prize-shortlisted Ballad of the Broken Seas), and collaborative albums and singles with the likes of Queens of the Stone Age, Moby, Soulsavers, Twilight Singers, and countless others, Mark Lanegan occupies a singular space in rock music. Now, for the first time ever, the reclusive singer presents a comprehensive look at his lyrics, the stories behind them, and the making of his albums. I Am the Wolf is a rare and candid glimpse into the inner workings and creative process of a legend.
