  From Chalk Board to Neon Lights...

  Russell C. Brennan (aka Russell Writer) started DJing at only 15 years old in places he wasn’t even old enough to be in, where ‘Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting’ by Elton John was often on the turntable. Fought over by two agencies who wanted to represent him, he quickly established himself as a popular DJ in clubs, restaurants, dancehalls and pubs around London and Southern England before being snapped up by an international agency who would catapult him to being one of the first super DJs back in the 80s playing big clubs around Europe. He was also asked to become the premiere VJ of MTV Europe when it launched. 
  This book is far from being a bog-standard sex, drugs and rock n’ roll tale (although some of that apart from the drugs does creep in). He gives an insight into what a ruthless business it can be and covers other striking events that also became part of his journey like murder and a very unique marriage. 
  It gives an insight into what it’s like to be a top DJ and celebrity lifestyle , often in a humorous or poetic way but as is the case with some of his other biographies about other parts of his career, it’s a warts and all story featuring more than a few unusual relationships, so no holds barred and not for the squeamish. 
  Russell is currently the world’s only male Geisha (the rest are all female). What that means in reality is, he has made a dent in all the arts from writing, music, photography and art and is even editor of an influential cultural magazine and head honcho of an influential indie record label. 
  . He has come a long way since those early DJ days that first put him on the map.

  Live Dead - The Grateful Dead...

  The Grateful Dead were one of the most successful live acts of the rock era. Performing more than 2,300 shows between 1965 and 1995, the Grateful Dead's reputation as a "live band" was—and continues to be—sustained by thousands of live concert recordings from every era of the group's long and colorful career. In Live Dead, musicologist John Brackett examines how live recordings—from the group's official releases to fan-produced tapes, bootlegs to "Betty Boards," and Dick's Picks to From the Vault—have shaped the general history and popular mythology of the Grateful Dead for more than fifty years. Drawing on a diverse array of materials and documents contained in the Grateful Dead Archive, Live Dead details how live recordings became meaningful among the band and their fans not only as sonic souvenirs of past musical performances but also as expressions of assorted ideals, including notions of "liveness," authenticity, and the power of recorded sound.
