With the terms set, they began a journey that has led them through seven seasons of the beloved genre show, a podcast rewatching the series with their newly minted listenership of “Scoobies,” unexpected success, and a divorce. Through it all, their love for Buffy and their commitment to their community held them together against the odds.Slayers, Every One of Us is the story of how two queer women navigated divorce on a very public level and managed to stay in each other’s lives through it all.

  A compact and charming history of the font we love to hate by the New York Times bestselling author of Just My Type. 
   
   
   
  Since its improvised creation at Microsoft in the mid-1990s, Comic Sans has become one of the most used and talked-about typefaces of the digital age. The subject of April Fools pranks and endless internet discourse, it has spawned a movement to ban it, inspired revivals and spinoffs, and continues to be widely promoted by educators. In this delightful history, bestselling author Simon Garfield tells the story of how Comic Sans emerged from speech bubbles on educational software to become one of the most recognized—and reviled—typefaces on earth. He considers how the computer transformed type into something that anyone could use and have an opinion on, explores how new fonts emerge with changing times and technology, and meets die-hard Comic Sans adherents and haters. He concludes the book by asking the unimaginable: Could Comic Sans now be the coolest typeface ever made?

  Whether you called it electro, indie dance, or were too busy scouring the internet for MP3s to care about a genre name, Never Be Alone Again: How Bloghouse United the Internet and the Dancefloor connects the disparate parts of an under-documented era in the first book focused on the musical and cultural phenomenon called bloghouse. 
   
   
   
  For a brief period in the mid-2000s, a network of independent music bloggers and fans merged the digital and physical worlds in a never-before-seen way. Their punk-inspired DIY ethos elevated noname DJs, music producers, and parties to a level of international success that was quickly eclipsed by corporatized EDM and the music festival boom. But before that, for a moment, there was bloghouse. 
   
   
   
  Never Be Alone Again: How Bloghouse United the Internet and the Dancefloor chronicles the rise of the DJ-slash-It Girl, roaming party photography, illegal Mp3 file sharing, canonical scene reports of bloghouse capitals Los Angeles and Paris, the overlooked impact of suburban Latino communities on nightlife, Kanye West's contribution to the movement, and the slow death of the blog itself.

  Chamber Music - A Very Short...

  Laura Tunbridge

  Playing together is the beating heart of chamber music. Despite great diversity, there are values common across centuries and instrumentation. First, a principle of one player per part, without a conductor. Second, that location is more a state of mind than an actual venue—thus, chamber music can exist in the home and on the concert platform. Third, it is the province of both amateurs and professionals. 
   
  This Very Short Introduction explores why chamber music has become so valued by players, scholars, and audiences. Laura Tunbridge draws out the sociable aspect of music-making, apparent in metaphors of conversation, its presence in domestic spaces, and the ethics of all parts being equal. Through concise and accessible examples, Tunbridge explores the many forms and sizes taken by chamber music ensembles and the impact of music publishing and concert programming on this repertoire. She draws on the patterns of where musicians train and work, driven by economics, politics, and aesthetics. Rather than assuming that this type of music now is primarily about passive consumption, Chamber Music: A Very Short Introduction argues that the relatively small scale of chamber groups has made them mobile and adaptable, and thus particularly well-suited to engaging with and forming communities.
