Download or read book Beatles at the Movies written by Roy Carr and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's Been A Hard Day's Night, Help , Yellow Submarine, Magical Mystery Tour, Let It Be.... These were the five films made by the Beatles, films that, like the band itself, broke new ground, set new trends and became cult favorites that continue to fascinate fans a quarter of a century later. Beatles at the Movies provides detailed behind-the-scene takes on the making of these films. It describes each movie location, the antics of the Fab Four in front of -- and behind -- the camera, the day-to-day events and the sometimes unusual problems the crew encountered. It also provides in-depth information on the recordings of the songs used in each movie. Featuring a foreword by Richard Lester, director of the first two Beatles films, it gives an insider's point of view on these films that no other book has ever offered. Beatlemania has experienced a major resurgence. ABC's documentary on the band (which was re-broadcast in the fall of 1996), and the release of their two "new" singles generated tremendous fanfare. Two more double-CD sets of Beatles recordings have been released, and the Beatles are crawling all over the World Wide Web. Beatles at the Movies taps into this continuing interest, and will have tremendous appeal for movie fans and fans of the greatest rock 'n' roll band in history.

Download or read book Sellout written by Dan Ozzi and published by Mariner Books. This book was released on 2021 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From celebrated music writer Dan Ozzi comes a comprehensive chronicle of the punk music scene's evolution from the early nineties to the mid-aughts, following eleven bands as they dissolved, "sold out," and rose to surprise stardom. From its inception, punk music has been identified by two factors: its proximity to "authenticity," and its reliance on an antiestablishment ethos. Yet, in the mid- to late '90s, major record labels sought to capitalize on punk's rebellious undertones, leading to a schism in the scene: to accept the cash flow of the majors, or stick to indie cred?Sellout chronicles the evolution of the punk scene during this era, focusing on prominent bands as they experienced the last "gold rush" of the music industry. Within it, music writer Dan Ozzi follows the rise of successful bands like Green Day and Jimmy Eat World, as well as the implosion of groups like Jawbreaker and At the Drive-In, who buckled under the pressure of their striving labels. Featuring original interviews and personal stories from members of eleven of modern punk's most (in)famous bands, Sellout is the history of the evolution of the music industry, and a punk rock lover's guide to the chaotic darlings of the post-grunge era.

Download or read book The Beatles By Ear written by Kevin Moore and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By turns impassioned and irreverent, The Beatles by Ear is a collection of essays on each Beatles album, song, chord, key change, and songwriting technique. Song fragments like those of the Abbey Road medley and Sgt. Pepper are examined first as individual songs and then as larger suites. The essays focus on fresh musical insights and avoid the backstories and anecdotes about each song (the "standard talking points") that are common knowledge among even the most casual Beatles fans. The Beatles by Ear is written for musically inclined readers who-like the Beatles-have never learned to read or write music, but can play a few chords and are drawn to understand the creative processes behind the popular song. A central premise of the book is that the Beatles' lack of formal training helped rather than hindered the expression of their natural talent. Whenever possible, theoretical terms and concepts are limited to those used by the Beatles themselves in the interview quotations sprinkled liberally throughout the book. The reader is expected to know two things: the names of the 12 notes (shown in the book with letter names) how to play simple chords in the key of C on keyboard or guitar For those who don't know the names of notes and chords, a series of detailed tutorials is included in one of the appendices. Hundreds of page number references enable the book to be read from cover to cover, or used as a reference book for isolated studies of individual songs or composing techniques. In addition to the main chronological survey of albums and singles, there are separate sections for: each chord the Beatles used each key change vocal harmonies melodic basslines riffs the five rhythm tricks the Beatles used to manipulate the forms of their songs Beatles resources (a survey of the best books, films, podcasts, websites, and YouTube channels used by the author in the process of researching the book) The Beatles canon is contextualized against a backdrop of: predecessors: classical music, jazz, blues, rock 'n' roll and R&B contemporaries: Brian Wilson, Bob Dylan, Holland-Dozier-Holland, Burt Bacharach, Carole King, and the Motown and Stax house bands.
