A memoir-in-essays on transness, dad rock, and the music that saves us. When Wilco's 2007 album Sky Blue Sky was infamously criticized as "dad rock," Niko Stratis was a twenty-five-year-old closeted trans woman working in her dad's glass shop in the Yukon Territory. As she sought escape from her hypermasculine environment, Stratis found an unlikely lifeline amid dad rock's emotionally open and honest music. Listening to dad rock, Stratis could access worlds beyond her own and imagine a path forward. In taut, searing essays rendered in propulsive and unguarded prose, Stratis delves into the emotional core of bands like Wilco and The National, telling her story through the dad rock that accompanied her along the way. She found footing in Michael Stipe's allusions to queer longing, Radiohead's embrace of unknowability, and Bruce Springsteen's very trans desire to "change my clothes my hair my face"—and she found in artists like Neko Case and Sharon Van Etten that the label transcends gender. A love letter to the music that saves us and a tribute to dads like Stratis's own who embody the tenderness at the genre's heart, The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman rejoices in music unafraid to bare its soul.Ver libro
JOHN WICK THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY CHAD STAHELSKI CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE ABOUT THE FILM John Wick is a 2014 neo-noir action thriller about a retired hitman seeking vengeance. After the brutal murder of his beloved dog, a final gift from his late wife, John Wick (Keanu Reeves) returns to the violent criminal underworld he had once left behind. Fueled by grief and rage, he hunts down those responsible for the crime. The film blends intense action sequences, stylized combat, and a deeply atmospheric world filled with shadowy assassins, crime syndicates, and mysterious codes of honor. It explores themes of loss, revenge, and the inescapable pull of one’s past. TRIVIA SAMPLES: “According to Keanu Reeves, he did 90% of his own stunts in the film.” “Keanu Reeves learned and memorized the nightclub fight sequence the day that the scene was filmed.” “Director Chad Stahelski was Keanu Reeves' stunt double in The Matrix movies.” “When John Wick wakes up to the Russians in his home, it mirrors an incident in 2014 where Keanu Reeves woke up to a stalker in his house. He calmly spoke to the stalker before calling the police, and the stalker was arrested.”Ver libro
The life of Scottish watercolourist William Alister Macdonald (1861-1956) contained more mystery and intrigue than a novel by the authors he knew as friends. Mid-life in the early 1900s he painted widely across Britain, Europe and North Africa. Aged sixty, abandoning his wife and son in London, he settled in Tahiti, where he befriended authors Charles Nordhoff, James Norman Hall and Zane Grey. Critical acclaim of his work peaked in 1935 with the discovery of over 120 watercolours capturing London streets and lost panoramas from the Thames, its river life and trade at the turn of the last century, now part of the Wakefield Collection at London's Guildhall. Yet in Tahiti his reputation has endured with appreciation of his timeless, exquisite landscapes and studies of paradise. This first fully illustrated biography of Macdonald's life provides a long-overdue opportunity for his European and Polynesian work to be reappraised and his story told.Ver libro
