Hearts on Fire - Six Years that Changed Canadian Music 2000–2005

Michael Barclay

Sinopse

An authoritative, unprecedented account of how in the early 2000s Canadian music finally became cool
		 
Hearts on Fire is about the creative explosion in Canadian music of the early 2000s, which captured the world’s attention in entirely new ways. The Canadian wave didn’t just sweep over one genre or one city, it stretched from coast to coast, affecting large bands and solo performers, rock bands and DJs, and it connected to international scenes by capitalizing on new technology and old-school DIY methods.
		 
Arcade Fire, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Feist, Tegan and Sara, Alexisonfire: those were just the tip of the iceberg. This is also the story of hippie chicks, turntablists, poetic punks, absurdist pranksters, queer orchestras, obtuse wordsmiths, electronic psychedelic jazz, power-pop supergroups, sexually bold electro queens, cowboys who used to play speed metal, garage rock evangelists, classically trained solo violinists, and the hip-hop scene that preceded Drake. This is Canada like it had never sounded before. This is the Canada that soundtracked the dawn of a new century.
		 
Featuring more than 100 exclusive interviews and two decades of research, Hearts on Fire is the music book every Canadian music fan will want on their shelf.

Split - a life shared: living...

Maggie Walters

How does a child survive years of unimaginable abuse?
She splits.
And splits again. And again. And again.
And she does survive. But not without consequences.
As a young adult, years after her physical abuse has ended, Maggie Walters struggles with an
unpredictable temper and socially difficult behaviour. After several false starts she finds a therapist
who she trusts, just enough, to start talking about the childhood locked away behind the anger and
isolation she has learnt to live with.
Eventually she is diagnosed with Multiple Personality Disorder, MPD (now known as Dissociative
Identity Disorder or DID).
Gradually, she understands. It was not Maggie who survived her childhood. The instinct to survive
created an alternative identity called Annie, who with a myriad of other ‘alters’, lived through the
abuse inflicted on her.
Decades later, with a husband and three much-loved children, Maggie strives to live a normal life
despite a past which has left her internal world with a hidden, dark secret. Every day, unseen by
those around her, trigger incidents fill her head with voices, the chaotic remnants of her other selves
who lived the childhood she couldn’t. This is the ‘normal’ which Maggie has learned to live with.
In SPLIT Maggie tells the story of managing this ‘normal’, of understanding and accepting her past,
and standing strong in the life she has built from the ashes of her broken childhood.
It is a story not only of survival, but of self-acceptance, of the triumph to simply live. You will not
read another book like it.

Elvis is King: Costello's My Aim...

Richard Crouse

An explosive, groundbreaking album that crowned a new king of rock in just 33 minutes Before Elvis Costello was one of Rolling Stone’s greatest artists of all time, before he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he was Declan P. McManus, an office drone with a dull suburban life and a side gig in a pub rock band. In 1976, under the guidance of legendary label Stiff Records, he transformed himself into the snarling, spectacled artist who defied the musical status quo to blaze the trail for a new kind of rock star with his debut album, My Aim Is True. In Elvis Is King, Richard Crouse examines how the man, the myth, and the music of this arrestingly original album smashed the trends of the era to bridge the gap between punk and rock ’n’ roll.
