The Stranglers 1977
Author: Laura Shenton
Publisher: Wymer UK
ISBN: 9781912782857
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
For The Stranglers, 1977 was a vital year. Not quite punk, certainly not pop and often at odds with live audiences and the music press alike, their approach was such that nothing could stop them. With hits like 'Peaches', 'No More Heroes' and 'Something Better Change', there was everything to play for despite a variety of confrontations and controversies. With two commercially and musically strong albums - Rattus Norvegicus (their debut) and No More Heroes - released within just months of each other, the story of The Stranglers in 1977 is one that needs to be told. With vintage interviews and reviews in abundance, this book comprehensively documents it all with immense detail.

The Philosophy Foundation
Author: Peter Worley
Publisher: Crown House Publishing
ISBN: 1781350922
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
The name 'Thoughtings' was inspired by a 5-year old who, when asked to explain what thinking is without using the word 'think' said 'It's when you're thoughting'. Children love pondering big philosophical questions like 'Does the universe end?', 'Where is my mind?' and 'Can something be true and false at the same time?'. These verses capture that impulse in the growing mind and feed it further. These are not poems or, at least, not in the traditional sense of the word... They are a kind of poem specifically designed around a particular puzzle or problem that might be thought more philosophy than poetry. Here's to the joy of puzzlement!

Hell of a Hat
Author: Kenneth Partridge
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271090537
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 138
Book Description
In the late ’90s, third-wave ska broke across the American alternative music scene like a tsunami. In sweaty clubs across the nation, kids danced themselves dehydrated to the peppy rhythms and punchy horns of bands like The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Reel Big Fish. As ska caught fire, a swing revival brought even more sharp-dressed, brass-packing bands to national attention. Hell of a Hat dives deep into this unique musical moment. Prior to invading the Billboard charts and MTV, ska thrived from Orange County, California, to NYC, where Moon Ska Records had eager rude girls and boys snapping up every release. On the swing tip, retro pioneers like Royal Crown Revue had fans doing the jump, jive, and wail long before The Brian Setzer Orchestra resurrected the Louis Prima joint. Drawing on interviews with heavyweights like the Bosstones, Sublime, Less Than Jake, and Cherry Poppin' Daddies—as well as underground heroes like Mustard Plug, The Slackers, Hepcat, and The New Morty Show—Kenneth Partridge argues that the relative economic prosperity and general optimism of the late ’90s created the perfect environment for fast, danceable music that—with some notable exceptions—tended to avoid political commentary. An homage to a time when plaids and skankin’ were king and doing the jitterbug in your best suit was so money, Hell of a Hat is an inside look at ’90s ska, swing, and the loud noises of an era when America was dreaming and didn’t even know it.

Clap for Me
Author: Paola Capó-Garcia
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780999418635
Category : American poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Poetry. Latinx Studies. Women's Studies. California Interest. "What you're reading is poetría plain and very simple," declares Paola Capó-García's CLAP FOR ME THAT'S NOT ME, a collection that revels in assured complication. Through montage and ever-startling switchbacks, CLAP FOR ME THAT'S NOT ME splices slapstick and dead seriousness, power poses and TV sex scenes, mystic contemplation and glitter shit, the self on a time-out and the self trotted out, and smack talk en inglés and shock and awe in Spanish, into one "lavish lengua," "making something out of everything, the All," making something totally its own. An unrelenting exercise in messiness and identity, Capó-García assures us, "It's not that I don't like this thing it's just that this other thing is way more tricked out." "'I've been having desires lately,' writes Paola Capó-García, 'and I don't know what to do with them.' But desires permeate the site of these poems that grow bawdy, perverse, delicious inside the body and spill out into gorgeous, gasping lines that switch and kick like a dancer moving across the page. There is a quickness, lithe and pleasurable, that invigorates this astonishing debut."--D.A. Powell "CLAP FOR ME THAT'S NOT ME is an exploration of the 'gaping pretty flushed holes' of meaning, as well as a meditation on the erotics/politics of technocapitalist embodiment, where the poet's flow is always also 'for consumption for dissemination for fandom.' Amid the lipsticks and throw pillows and LED lights, Capó-García finds an old-school blues ('I am losing my tongue in the service of poetry') rooted in equal parts indignation, mourning, longing, and a survivalist wit that asks us to channel our 'land-based rage' in the name of cleansing decolonial desires. Because who among us doesn't want to 'be straddled maybe while wearing leather pants and heels' and still unwrite the 'father figure' and the 'beauty skin regimen' in solidarity with the 'childless loveless houseless' practice of a radical écriture? The modernist in me would call this perhaps the most dynamically challenging prose-poem-bursts by an English-language Puerto Rican poet since 1920s William Carlos Williams, or else inSteintaneous punktuation or the making of hemispher(ot)ic) Américans--except that CLAP FOR ME demands its own hi-density coordinates: 'Esto no es poesía' and 'This fiction is HD.' There's nothing PC or G-rated about PCG's me-not-me textual unfolding; instead this self-unwriting has the carefully curated scattershot rigor of Bad Bunny's Instagram if its hashtag swirls were written by Leslie Scalapino. This jam deserves a slow-ass clap."--Urayoán Noel "CLAP FOR ME THAT'S NOT ME choreographs the plot-twisting costume-changing ad-riddled complexities of contemporary identity in genre-blurring acts of literary brilliance. It is a purity-pulverizing and deeply satisfying story-ish arc of postcolonial poetics and feminine intellectual backtalk within a 21st century configuration of empire. This collection is gut-wrenching, yummy, hilarious, and tender but importantly, never quite soothing."--Anna Joy Springer
