Roddy DoyleTommy Mays, Titan Records' biggest act, is verging on a mid-life crisis; learning the hard way that a life of fame and fortune comes at a price. But things are looking up for his support band, The Burn, which could be a career-changer for Theo, Titan's young A&R executive. Meanwhile, secretary Cynthia has her eyes on Titan's latest rising star, singer-songwriter Lenore Lamont. But with a billboard in Times Square, is Lenore starting to feel the pressure?Set in the sleek offices, high-tech recording studios and hip downtown clubs of New York, The Words of Every Song depicts the realities of making it in an industry where glamour and fame can often conceal the harsh realities for those hoping to hit the big-time.Trade ReviewThis is a remarkable novel, elegant, wise, and beautifully constructed. I loved the book, and admired the work and spark that went into it.Impressive ... Moore crafts a clever cycle of interconnected short stories about players in New York City's music industry. * People *The kind of book you want to read twice. The first time you read it for the well-told story, the second time for another look at the inventive way [Moore] tells it. * Boston Now *Imagine having happened upon Dylan singing in Harvard Square, or having caught one of Joni Mitchell's early shows at an empty club. This is how I felt reading Liz Moore's lyrical and powerful debut novel, like I was witnessing a timeless artist on the verge of transcendence. The Words of Every Song is a virtuoso performance. These beautifully rendered characters are melodies that echo in your head, chords that reverberate in your heart, and, long after you've turned the last page, you can still hear the audience calling for an encore.Sweet, wistful, artfully arranged: like the best mix tape anyone ever made for you. * Kirkus starred review *

Book SynopsisEven as many in the modern world draw away from organised religion, the great hymns of our time persist: we turn to them at weddings and funerals, at rugby matches and in pubs. Bringing together twelve of Wales's best-loved hymns, from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, Poems from the Soul reveals the heart and soul of a people's poetry. These are the poems of ordinary folk blacksmiths, farmers and preachers and they played a vital role in the creation of the Welsh people. Ranging from the visionary intensity of Ann Griffiths to the striking biblical imagery of Wales's unofficial national anthem, Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer', in every hymn a single, singular voice sings out, loud and strong with fear, hope, ecstasy or anxiety. With original illustrations by Ruth Jên Evans throughout, this collection offers insights into the making of a modern nation and demonstrates the transformative power of voices raised in song.

Book Synopsis'I'm not here to change your mind about Dusty Springfield or Shostakovich or Tupac Shakur or synthpop. I'm here to change your mind about your mind.' There are countless books on music with much analysis given to musicians, bands, eras and/or genres. But rarely does a book delve into what's going on inside us when we listen.Michel Faber explores two big questions: how we listen to music and why we listen to music. To answer these he considers biology, age, illness, the notion of 'cool', commerce, the dichotomy between 'good' and 'bad' taste and, through extensive interviews with musicians, unlocks some surprising answers. From the award-winning author of The Crimson Petal and the White and Under the Skin, this curious and celebratory book reflects Michel Faber's lifelong obsession with music of all kinds. Listen will change your relationship with the heard world.Trade ReviewBy turns discursive, celebratory and reflective . . . a beautifully written paean to music, examining the role that it plays in our lives and what it has meant to Faber himself. He is no snob, but no indulgent populist, either. Instead, he has written the best book of its type since Alex Ross's The Rest Is Noise * * Observer * *A series of finely tuned observations formed from personal memories, nuggets of neuroscience and interviews with musical luminaries * * Guardian * *Fresh . . . Unlike any music book I have read. Often very funny as well as piercingly acute * * Scotsman * *Michel Faber wrote this book just for you -- ROBERT FRIPPAn extraordinary and compelling 'journey into sound' which examines close and distant listening in all its myriad ramifications, mainly in the form of music both popular and otherwise - and it's particularly good at evaluating music's intrinsic worth from a commercial and aesthetic viewpoint . . . Faber writes beautifully, non-condescendingly and provocatively about something as basic and fundamental to human existence as oxygen, and which like oxygen would be exceedingly hard to do without. I found this, Michel's first non-fiction book, brilliant and a joy to read . . . He's obviously listened and thought long and hard about the act and art of consuming sound/music - essentially, electrochemical reactions in the brain - in all its multitudinous splendor, and he raises many compelling points along the way . . . Listen is right up there with Richard Meltzer's The Aesthetics of Rock and Geoffrey O'Brien's Sonata for Jukebox at the top of my mental music shelf -- GARY LUCASPraise for Michel Faber: Faber's writing is so dizzyingly accomplished -- KATHRYN HUGHES * * Guardian * *You are unlikely to regret a single hour, day or month spent in Faber's diverting, exuberant and intelligent company * * Financial Times * *A truly gifted writer, an addictive storyteller with a nuanced command of language * * Literary Review * *Faber writes superbly * * Sunday Times * *Faber has shown that he can write in a breathtakingly wide range of styles * * Scotsman * *

Book SynopsisThe Japanese Cinema Book provides a new and comprehensive survey of one of the world’s most fascinating and widely admired filmmaking regions. In terms of its historical coverage, broad thematic approach and the significant international range of its authors, it is the largest and most wide-ranging publication of its kind to date. Ranging from renowned directors such as Akira Kurosawa to neglected popular genres such as the film musical and encompassing topics such as ecology, spectatorship, home-movies, colonial history and relations with Hollywood and Europe, The Japanese Cinema Book presents a set of new, and often surprising, perspectives on Japanese film. With its plural range of interdisciplinary perspectives based on the expertise of established and emerging scholars and critics, The Japanese Cinema Book provides a groundbreaking picture of the different ways in which Japanese cinema may be understood as a local, regional, national, transnational and global phenomenon. The book’s innovative structure combines general surveys of a particular historical topic or critical approach with various micro-level case studies. It argues there is no single fixed Japanese cinema, but instead a fluid and varied field of Japanese filmmaking cultures that continue to exist in a dynamic relationship with other cinemas, media and regions. The Japanese Cinema Book is divided into seven inter-related sections: · Theories and Approaches · * Institutions and Industry · * Film Style · * Genre · * Times and Spaces of Representation · * Social Contexts · * Flows and InteractionsTrade ReviewI’d recommend most of this book to anyone, but two chapters in particular [about manga adaptations in Japanese cinema] will leap out at readers of this blog. * All the Anime blog *With its preponderance of Japanese authors and the impressive variety of approaches it models, this volume marks a new era in the study of Japanese cinema. It presents new spins on old topics, and opens up any number of new avenues of inquiry. I can think of no other book that reveals the sheer richness of Japanese cinema to this degree. The Japanese Cinema Book is, simply, superb. -- Markus Nornes, Professor of Asian Cinema Department of Film, Television and Media, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, Penny Stamps School of Art & Design, University of Michigan, USAFujiki and Phillips' edited collection of wide-ranging essays represents a timely intervention into the field of Japanese cinema studies by a diverse group of international scholars. Its breadth and coverage will ensure it assumes a prominent position as a standard text within the field. -- Isolde Standish PhD Emeritus Reader in Film and Media Studies SOAS, University of London, UK.Table of ContentsTABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgments Introduction Japanese Cinema and Its Multiple Perspectives Hideaki Fujiki (Nagoya University, Japan) and Alastair Phillips (University of Warwick, UK) Part One: Theories and Approaches 1.

Book SynopsisLarry Grayson was extremely funny, highly likeable and much-loved. Those were sentiments felt not just by his millions of fans, but also by those who knew him personally. He was a complicated man who didn't become a star until well into his middle age, having worked for years as drag act Billy Breen. The peak of his popularity came in the early 1980s with Larry Grayson's Generation Game on BBC1, with regular viewing figures of over eighteen million. Larry Grayson's story is fascinating from beginning to end, and has never properly been told before. This extensively and painstakingly researched account of his life is aspirational, funny and heartbreaking in equal measure. "Written with affection and sensitivity, this long overdue biography tells the wonderful Larry's remarkable story." Julian Clary "He was an honest comic and he was funny. I think that's why everybody loved Larry Grayson." Lionel Blair "Larry had a wicked sense of fun and from many years in clubs and variety halls his timing was just impeccable. This fascinating account of his life story is like a rollercoaster ride." Chris Tarrant

Book SynopsisThrough examining more than 120 organizations on a global scale, this work shows how almost every human expression involves performing culture. Atlas of Performing Culture is an illustrated voyage across five continents Asia, Africa, Europe, Oceania, and the Americas involving the study of venues and events related to performance, the dynamic and unrepeatable mode of artistic activity capable of uniting the audience who becomes the protagonist with artists and works of art, architecture, and nature. The volume is organized around five thematic sections related to the physical spaces, venues, and typologies of events. The unique experience of performing art can involve an island museum in Japan, the Rio Carnival, a Brussels theatrical debut, a rave party in the British countryside, and a cultural center housed in a former funeral home in the outskirts of Paris. Alongside theaters, concert halls, and festivals, we also find museums, sculpture parks, and hybrid cultural centers that elude any attempt of cataloging. By breaking down the traditional frontiers between performance art, visual art, and performing arts, this volume takes the reader whether specialist, practitioner, academic, or simply art aficionado on a journey to some of the main cultural sites and performative experiences around the world. Each section offers a specific overview into leading cultural organizations, as well as a selection of similar international institutions.
