Book excerpt: For all our technological wizardry, we have failed to arrive at a critical understanding of what it means to be human. Trees grow true to their seeds, dogs know how to be dogs, kittens naturally mature into cats. In our case, we just don’t seem to have ‘connected the dots’. In spite of age-old advice from Those Who Know – the saints and seers of every religion – we are further than ever from reaching our potential for the kind of greatness, creativity and beauty of being that every true sage unanimously advocates. In short, we are more ‘off-song’ than we have ever been. This has resulted in a seriously ‘off-key’ planet. Our Mother Earth may even stop performing! Perhaps, being the complex beings we are, we don’t know practically speaking, where to begin. So we place the whole business in the too hard basket, or deny our destinies, leave questions about growth, meaning and a lasting happiness unanswered. By default, we fall back into the customs and rules of our surrounding cultures, assuring ourselves that this is all there is anyway. The ‘songs we sing’ are reflections of our cultural shortcomings, often disappointing and discordant. Turning our backs on our amazing potentials, we fall prey to social ills and spills. Why do you think our hospitals and our prisons are full to overflowing, our suicide statistics so high? The point is: it’s not all that hard to find and express your true ‘song. It’s far more divine than difficult in fact. The author’s story, told with candour and humour, is rich with helpful hints on practical ways for you to find your way through to a life of happiness and harmony.

Book excerpt: THE MAKING AND MEANING OF RADIOHEAD'S GROUNDBREAKING, CONTROVERSIAL, EPOCHDEFINING ALBUM, KID A. In 1999, as the end of an old century loomed, five musicians entered a recording studio in Paris without a deadline. Their band was widely recognized as the best and most forward-thinking in rock, a rarefied status granting them the time, money, and space to make a masterpiece. But Radiohead didn't want to make another rock record. Instead, they set out to create the future. For more than a year, they battled writer's block, intra-band disagreements, and crippling self-doubt. In the end, however, they produced an album that was not only a complete departure from their prior guitar-based rock sound, it was the sound of a new era-and it embodied widespread changes catalyzed by emerging technologies just beginning to take hold of the culture. What they created was Kid A. Upon its release in 2000, Radiohead's fourth album divided critics. Some called it an instant classic; others, such as the UK music magazine Melody Maker, deemed it "tubby, ostentatious, self-congratulatory... whiny old rubbish." But two decades later, Kid A sounds like nothing less than an overture for the chaos and confusion of the twenty-first century. Acclaimed rock critic Steven Hyden digs deep into the songs, history, legacy, and mystique of Kid A, outlining the album's pervasive influence and impact on culture in time for its twentieth anniversary in 2020. Deploying a mix of criticism, journalism, and personal memoir, Hyden skillfully revisits this enigmatic, alluring LP and investigates the many ways in which Kid A shaped and foreshadowed our world.

Download or read book Women s Experimental Cinema written by Robin Blaetz and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2007-10-16 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women’s Experimental Cinema provides lively introductions to the work of fifteen avant-garde women filmmakers, some of whom worked as early as the 1950s and many of whom are still working today. In each essay in this collection, a leading film scholar considers a single filmmaker, supplying biographical information, analyzing various influences on her work, examining the development of her corpus, and interpreting a significant number of individual films. The essays rescue the work of critically neglected but influential women filmmakers for teaching, further study, and, hopefully, restoration and preservation. Just as importantly, they enrich the understanding of feminism in cinema and expand the terrain of film history, particularly the history of the American avant-garde. The contributors examine the work of Marie Menken, Joyce Wieland, Gunvor Nelson, Yvonne Rainer, Carolee Schneemann, Barbara Rubin, Amy Greenfield, Barbara Hammer, Chick Strand, Marjorie Keller, Leslie Thornton, Abigail Child, Peggy Ahwesh, Su Friedrich, and Cheryl Dunye. The essays highlight the diversity in these filmmakers’ forms and methods, covering topics such as how Menken used film as a way to rethink the transition from abstract expressionism to Pop Art in the 1950s and 1960s, how Rubin both objectified the body and investigated the filmic apparatus that enabled that objectification in her film Christmas on Earth (1963), and how Dunye uses film to explore her own identity as a black lesbian artist. At the same time, the essays reveal commonalities, including a tendency toward documentary rather than fiction and a commitment to nonhierarchical, collaborative production practices. The volume’s final essay focuses explicitly on teaching women’s experimental films, addressing logistical concerns (how to acquire the films and secure proper viewing spaces) and extending the range of the book by suggesting alternative films for classroom use.

Download or read book Radiohead FAQ written by Dan Caffrey and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No band in recent history has divided listeners' opinions as much as Radiohead. Are they the Beatles of the twenty-first century, or is their music just pretentious, overly melancholic, and sometimes boring? Musician, pop-culture critic, and playwright Dan Caffrey wasn't always a Radiohead fan, but that all changed one Chicago winter, when he suddenly found their album In Rainbows to be a welcome source of sonic warmth. An extension of Caffrey's deep but often cautious love for the band, Radiohead FAQ presents a fittingly sideways look at what he's dubbed "the world’s most famous cult band." Inside these pages, readers will find the essentials of the Radiohead story—along with deep dives into seldom explored topics, from the humor surrounding the band's music to the numerous hip-hop artists who have sampled their songs. Each chapter is devoted to a band member plus their producer and "sixth member" Nigel Godrich, revealing comprehensive biographical details about each person. The end result is a book custom made for casual Radiohead fans and obsessives alike—filled with little known facts, new ways of looking at their music, and, like any music book worth its salt, maddening opinions.

Download or read book Your BodySong written by Cari Corbet-Owen and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-23 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if health advice isn't just conflicting, but off track? What if attaining health, happiness and longevity look a lot different than you expect? What if it has less do do with what your 'do' but much more to do with your BodySong (the vibration you put out into the world)?This book refutes health myths in a common sense way, before taking you on an unusual tour through the intimate workings of the body (your heart, your brain, your gut, your cells, your DNA and your telomeres). Finally, it offers compelling evidence that you are affected less by your human 'DOings' (your diet and exercise) than your human 'BEingness' (your beliefs, attitudes and consciousness). Using evidence from-extreme survivors (those people who live to 100]); -extreme shifters (multiple personality patients) and - extreme believers (like firewalkers), this books shows that health isn't difficult, it doesn't require willpower and all the most potent health measures are free. It will give you the practical tools to heal your life, heal your health and our world in just 18 minutes a day. It is audacious but based in science!Cari Corbet-Owen is a Clinical Psychologist, author, and keynote speaker who works with companies and corporations and has presented seminars and workshop[s internationally. Her views have been expressed in over 50 magazines including 'O' (who featured her second book), Readers Digest, Men's Health, Shape and many others.For the past four years she has interviewed extreme-survivors, she has read everything she can find on people who live to over 100, travelled to countries that have high life expectancies, dug deep into medical and psychological journals and watched thousands of hours of youtube videos and TED talks. She has also dug into the literature on placebos, nocebos, epigenetic, quantum theory, cell signalling and much more. What she found has astonished her because what she has discovered is that health and longevity do not appear to be what is sold to us in the Western World.
