Book Description
DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS… Sex, drugs, rock stars, divas, d-bags and previously untold stories about some of the biggest acts in music and the crazy things that have happened behind the scenes. What happens when someone gets murdered in your hotel while you’re on tour? How do you get backstage at a big rock concert? How much drugs were people in the music business really doing in the 70’s and 80’s? Which superstar artist rented out a whole supermarket after hours? Rock legend has it that one newly-minted superstar’s career was killed by a single shot — an sniper’s bullet fired through the lens of a camera and broadcast to an eagerly awaiting public through the magic of music video and the television channel that had become the most powerful pop culture engine in modern history. Finally, the truth can be told about what really happened… and the story is pretty hilarious. From Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff, author of the acclaimed bestseller Where’s My F*cking Latte? (And Other Stories About Being an Assistant in Hollywood) - featured on TV’s hit ACCESS HOLLYWOOD and E!

If you’ve always wanted a backstage pass, now’s your chance to hear about what really happens when the lights go down. Published as a series of blind items -- No names are named and all sources kept confidential -- but can you guess who’s who?

The Grateful Dead in Concert
Author: Jim Tuedio
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786458283
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
This book offers a spirited analysis of the unique improvisational character of Grateful Dead music and its impact on appreciative fans. The 20 essays capture distinct facets of the Grateful Dead phenomenon from a broad range of scholarly angles. The band's trademark synergizing focus is discussed as a function of complex musical improvisation interlaced with the band members' collective assimilation of an impressive range of marginal musical forms and lyrical traditions. These facets are shown to produce a vibrant Deadhead experience, resulting in community influences still morphing in new directions 45 years after the band's initial impact.

Roger Smalley: A Case Study of Late Twentieth-Century Composition
Author: Christopher Mark
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317061969
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
How does one go about writing the history of musical composition in the late twentieth century when, on the one hand, so much of it seems impossibly fractured and disassociated, and, on the other, there has been so little certainty about what the notion of 'music history' might entail under the critiques of post-modernism? One of the most productive ways forward is to pursue case studies involving single composers whose music reflects several aspects of recent activity. This enables the discussion of broad issues in a relatively focussed way whilst avoiding the pitfalls of traditional narrative histories and the centrifugal tendencies of the relativistic approach that some have called for. The music of the English-born (1943) and Australia-domiciled composer Roger Smalley is ideal material for such a study, because of his involvement with and response to an unusually large number of the myriad concerns and practices of post-1950s composition, including post-serial constructivism; parody; electro-acoustic composition and the electronic modification of conventionally-produced sound; Moment Form; aleatorism; minimalism; the use of non-Western resources (Aboriginal and South-East Asian sonorities); neo-Romanticism; and, arguably, the 'new classicism', as well as a brief flirtation with rock music in the late '60s. Employing an interview with the composer as a kind of cantus firmus, the book - the first extended single-author study of Smalley's music to be published - incorporates critical commentary on the composer's major works in a chronological narrative that engages with broad issues of central relevance to Smalley's generation, such as the process of learning the craft of composition in the early '60s; the motivation behind the adoption of certain technical and aesthetic positions; the effects on technical and aesthetic orientation of both the changing relationships between composer, performer, and audience and technological change; and the distinction betwe
