  Edinburgh's Festivals - A Biography

  In August 1947, an émigré Austrian opera impresario launched the Edinburgh International Festival of Music and Drama to heal the scars of the Second World War through a celebration of the arts. At the same time, a socialist theatre group from Glasgow and other amateur companies protested their exclusion from the festival by performing anyway, inventing the concept of 'fringe' theatre.
  Now the annual celebration known collectively as the Edinburgh Festival is the largest arts festival in the world, incorporating events dedicated to theatre, film, art, literature, comedy, dance, jazz and even military pageantry. It has launched careers – from Peter Cook and Dudley Moore in Beyond the Fringe to Phoebe Waller-Bridge with Fleabag – mirrored the political and social mood of its times, shaped the city of Edinburgh around it and welcomed a huge all-star cast, including Orson Welles, Grace Kelly, Yehudi Menuhin and Mark E Smith's The Fall and many many more.
  This is its story.

  Quantum Criminals - Ramblers...

  Steely Dan's songs are exercises in fictional world-building. No one else in the classic-rock canon has conjured a more vivid cast of rogues and heroes, creeps and schmucks, lovers and dreamers and cold-blooded operators—or imbued their characters with so much humanity. 
   
   
   
  Pulling from history, lived experience, pulp fiction, the lore of the counterculture, and their own darkly comic imaginations, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker summoned protagonists who seemed like fully formed people with complicated pasts, scars they don't talk about, delusions and desires and memories they can't shake. Every name is a locked-room mystery, beguiling listeners and earning the band an exceptionally passionate and growing cult fandom. 
   
   
   
  Quantum Criminals presents the world of Steely Dan as it has never been seen, much less heard. Artist Joan LeMay has crafted lively, color-saturated images of her favorite characters from the Daniverse to accompany writer Alex Pappademas's explorations of the famous and obscure songs that inspired each painting, in short essays full of cultural context, wild speculation, inspired dot-connecting, and the occasional conspiracy theory. All of it is refracted through the perspectives of the characters, making for a musical companion unlike any other. Quantum Criminals is a singular celebration of Steely Dan's musical cosmos.

  Art-Quake 1910 - The Manet and...

  The exhibition Manet and the Post-Impressionists was the closest thing, metaphorically, to a bomb in the National Gallery. It was, as one of its organisers, Clive Bell, later remarked, "the Art-Quake of 1910".
  
  
  Cézanne, Picasso, Matisse, Gauguin and Van Gogh – all five artists were introduced to the British public in a single exhibition in 1910. Reactions ranged from outrage to disbelief to a sense of ecstatic liberation, as visitors to the Grafton Galleries found themselves face to face with art that seemed to mock five hundred years of tradition. British painters were still working in the shadow of the Old Masters, but here were Continental artists reaching for the new light of Modernism.
  
  
  Vividly evoking the personalities of Roger Fry and the Bloomsbury Group members who staged the exhibition, as well as the artists themselves, David Boyd Haycock captures not just a pivotal moment in British art but a whole society on the brink of cataclysmic upheaval.
  
  'In or about December 1910, human character changed' VIRGINIA WOOLF
