“Burroughs famously dubbed Waters the Pope of Trash. Female Trouble, we might say, is his Summa Trashologica.” —Ed Halter, The Criterion CollectionListen as Waters himself acts out each role!It all goes to hell when Baltimore bad girl Dawn Davenport doesn’t get the cha-cha heels she’s been demanding for Christmas. In this hilarious, irreverent, pyrotechnic melee of high-trash hijinks, Dawn ruins Christmas, skips town, and embarks on a wild ride that involves hitchhiking, robbery, murder, pregnancy—and, of course, modeling and glamour, too. The second installment of John Waters’ classic Trash Trilogy, Female Trouble explodes conventional norms of good behavior (and art) and is all the proof you’ll ever need that sometimes being bad can feel so, so very good.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and GirouxZum Buch
Few musical genres inspire the passionate devotion of jazz. Its mystique goes far beyond the melodies and rhythms, with its key players and singers discussed by aficionados with a respect that borders on reverence. Some books on jazz offer little more than theory or dry facts, thereby relinquishing the ‘essence’ of the music. This book is different. One of the most influential and internationally known writers on the subject describes, through vivid personal contacts, reminiscences and zesty anecdotes, his life in jazz as a player, broadcaster and observer. Alyn Shipton recalls friendships with legendary musicians, while revealing fresh discoveries about such luminaries as Fats Waller, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Abbey Lincoln and Geri Allen. On Jazz powerfully evokes the atmosphere of clubs and dancehalls, and takes us behind the scenes and up onto the stage, so that this electrifying world is unforgettably spotlighted as never before.Zum Buch
How medieval architects drew cathedral building plans The architectural history of the Middle Ages is full of surprises. It is difficult for us to imagine today that relatively few construction plans have been found for the impressive churches and cathedrals of the Romanesque and Gothic periods. Where did most of the drawings go? Have the plans been destroyed in Europe or lost over time? Or were they not made at all? Although hardly any architectural drawings exist, there were numerous compasses. What were they used for and how? Was it possible to design complex buildings such as churches and cathedrals without blueprints? The author takes her readers on an exciting cultural and historical journey through time. She looks at the spread of papyrus, parchment and paper and traces the ability to write and calculate in Europe. She also looks at the construction process in historical illustrations and draws comparisons with Arabic architecture. Last but not least, she shows what types of compasses existed and how the drawing skills of master builders developed up to the Renaissance. The insights into the history of architecture lead to surprising findings: The architects of the Middle Ages thought and planned very differently than we imagine today.Zum Buch
Spotify’s algorithm is kind of a black box. Your song releases, you do some marketing and then it gets thrown onto some algorithmic playlists, sometimes. To most artists it may as well be completely random, but behind the scenes there is of course some very particular code executing purposefully written algorithms. Unfortunately we have no idea what this algorithm actually is. This book represents my entire understanding of how the Spotify algorithm works and how i've been able to get almost every song i've released in the past 3 years onto Discovery Weekly. Since I don't have any insider knowledge this understanding is based on experience, trial and error, research and a little bit of science.

Art comes in many shapes and sizes and many different forms. And one person’s art is often someone else’s object of derision. But what we can all agree on is that Art exists, that it’s something perhaps unique to humankind but very definitely evokes a deep reaction whether of ‘wow!’ or ‘what?’ In this volume we take Art as our subject and have it reviewed and explored by other Artists, by Classic Poets. True Art ignites an individual response or a collective awareness. Our DNA seems to cultivate that. When we engage with Art the results are at times as surprising as they are interesting. In the words of Keats, Shakespeare, Wharton, Chatterton and very many others Art is seen and understood both as that individual reaction and a collective experience. Art is where it’s at. 01 - The Poetry of Art - An Introduction 02 - The Man With the Blue Guitar by Wallace Stevens 03 - Botticlelli’s Madonna in the Louvre by Edith Wharton 04 - Before a Painting by James Weldon Johnson 05 - Sonnet 20 - A Woman's Face with Nature's Own Hand Painted by William Shakespeare 06 - Sonnet 24 - Mine Eye Hath Played the Painter and Hath Steeled by William Shakespeare 07 - Sonnet 83 - I Never Saw That You Did Painting Need by William Shakespeare 08 - Art and Heart by Ella Wheeler Wilcox 09 - Colors by Stephen Vincent Benet 10 - I Have Colours in My Head by Daniel Sheehan 11 - I Would Not Paint a Picture by Emily Dickinson 12 - To the Painter, To Draw Him a Picture by Robert Herrick 13 - On Mr Alcock of Bristol, an Excellent Miniature Painter by Thomas Chatterton 14 - On the Portrait of Two Beautiful Young People by Gerard Manley Hopkins 15 - Portrait d'une Femme by Ezra Pound 16 - To a Beautiful Female Portrait by Henry Alford 17 - The Portrait by Ford Madox Ford 18 - Her Portrait Immortal by Richard Le Gallienne 19 - My Last Duchess by Robert Browning 20 - Portrait of My Father As a Young Man by Rainer Maria Rilke 21 - On a Portrait of Dante by Giotto by James Russell Lowell 22 - Written Under a Portrait of Keats by John Boyle O'Reily 23 - On Seeing the Elgin Marbles For the First Time by John Keats 24 - Jade by Edith Wharton 25 - Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley 26 - An Inscription for Zheng Shujin's Painting by Qiu Jin 27 - The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus 28 - Rome - Building a New Street in the Ancient Quarter, April 1887 by Thomas Hardy 29 - How Many Paltry Foolish Painted Things by Michael Drayton 30 - To the Painter of an Ill Drawn Picture of Cleone by Anne Kingsmill-Finch 31 - An Art Critic by Ambrose Bierce 32 - A Portrait by Richard Brinsley SheridanZum Buch
Winner of the 2023 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Achievement in Audiobook Production."Throughout, narrator Dion Graham sustains an authentic cool. His voice subtly slows down, pauses, and cracks as Stone expounds upon his older years. It’s a kind of music unto itself." —AudioFileCombining three never-before-heard songs, jingles from when Sly was a DJ on KSOL, and a legendary story, Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) is an all-encompassing audio experience.One of the few indisputable geniuses of pop music, Sly Stone is a trailblazer and a legend. He created a new kind of music, mixing Black and white, male and female, funk and rock. As a songwriter, he penned some of the most iconic anthems of the 1960s and ’70s, from “Everyday People” to “Family Affair.” As a performer, he electrified audiences with a persona and stage presence that set a lasting standard for pop-culture performance.Yet his life has also been a cautionary tale, known as much for how he dropped out of the spotlight as for what put him there in the first place. People know the music, but the man remains a mystery. In Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin), his much-anticipated memoir, he’s finally ready to share his story—a story that many thought he’d never have the chance to tell.Written with Ben Greenman, who has written memoirs with George Clinton and Brian Wilson, among others, and created in collaboration with Sly Stone’s manager, Arlene Hirschkowitz, Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) includes a foreword by Questlove.A Macmillan Audio production from AUWA Books.Zum Buch
