Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named a Best Book of 2017 by NPR and GQ Joining the ranks of the classics Please Kill Me, Our Band Could Be Your Life, and Can’t Stop Won’t Stop, an intriguing oral history of the post-9/11 decline of the old-guard music industry and rebirth of the New York rock scene, led by a group of iconoclastic rock bands. In the second half of the twentieth-century New York was the source of new sounds, including the Greenwich Village folk scene, punk and new wave, and hip-hop. But as the end of the millennium neared, cutting-edge bands began emerging from Seattle, Austin, and London, pushing New York further from the epicenter. The behemoth music industry, too, found itself in free fall, under siege from technology. Then 9/11/2001 plunged the country into a state of uncertainty and war—and a dozen New York City bands that had been honing their sound and style in relative obscurity suddenly became symbols of glamour for a young, web-savvy, forward-looking generation in need of an anthem. Meet Me in the Bathroom charts the transformation of the New York music scene in the first decade of the 2000s, the bands behind it—including The Strokes, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, LCD Soundsystem, Interpol, and Vampire Weekend—and the cultural forces that shaped it, from the Internet to a booming real estate market that forced artists out of the Lower East Side to Williamsburg. Drawing on 200 original interviews with James Murphy, Julian Casablancas, Karen O, Ezra Koenig, and many others musicians, artists, journalists, bloggers, photographers, managers, music executives, groupies, models, movie stars, and DJs who lived through this explosive time, journalist Lizzy Goodman offers a fascinating portrait of a time and a place that gave birth to a new era in modern rock-and-roll.

Download or read book La La written by Ruinese Sheard, PhD and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-03-04 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To tell the truth, like loose change, there is a story hidden under sofa cushions in every family home. If La Las ole sofa could talk, her story would be a best-seller. Its a story of one womens passion to live despite the adversities of incest, marital abuse, and insanity. Funny, they call her La La. Why? When her name is really Ellen Marie Roosevelt? Number fourteen of fifteen children, who lives in the Roosevelt asylum. La La was around an endless crowd of beautiful black folk who partied all the time, it seemed. She wasnt part of it; she was always alone, scared. She hid, wanting to leave the light on to catch the mean perpetrators who got their kicks from their attacks on her. This scared thing was masked superficially with lots of inappropriate giggles, singing, and unbound hysteria. She buried her true self deep, deep, I tell you, and gave lots of La La until she became La La. A marital hell was home for La La and her tormentor, so-called protector, a real-life Frankenstein, whom she met as Franklin Morris. They live and love in a double-bound madness with four distinct personalities occupying two bodies, each vying desperately for the up position. The four of them and their children spend over twenty years as fugitives, running from themselves, thinking it is the police, the FBI, and Veterans Administration. They succumbed to their existence as they battled their empty wars of hallucination. The desperation comes when they no longer can identify the abusers from the abused. Everyone gets their share. Everyone gets La La. La La wraps the reader into a mind-stretching web of love and terror that she continues to weave poetically throughout her story blow by literal blow. Her story draws you into empathy for the bad guy as much as compassion for his victim. Read her story. Get La La!

Download or read book Meet me in Silence written by Enashree Chakraborty and published by Enashree Chakraborty. This book was released on 2023-10-15 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you enjoyed the essence of The Godfather, 365 days, or even the big romantic moments of Fifty Shades, then you are going to love “Meet me in Silence.” At a glance, it may seem like the age-old story of an innocent girl being kidnapped by the mafia, but what if she is not so innocent and he is not just a mafia ring leader? Alexander stood there firmly gripping the door knob. “Do you like it?” he seemed awfully cheerful, his face broadened into a big smile and his eyebrows dancing playfully. As he entered the room, I noticed two men in suits standing outside. “I made it exactly to your taste Bella. Did I get it wrong?” I backed away as my breath caught in my lungs, “Where am I, Alexander?” “Oh! My bad.” He grinned sheepishly, “Estas en mi casa, mi amor.” He spoke in a flawless Spanish accent. “Wh-,” my breath hitched and my voice almost disappeared. “Why?” It came out almost a coarse moan. He tilted his head and sized me with cynicism. The sun was almost up and I could see his face clearly in the light streaming in from the large glass windows. He had that expression again; Victory. “I told you, Andrea, you are mine. Where else would you be if not here?” “Alex, I….I don’t…. I want to go home.” “You are home. My home. Our home. This is where you will stay, Andrea.” His tone was decisive, not commanding, but informing like it was obvious. I took a deep breath to steady my nerves, “No. I won’t.” His eyes glinted in the early morning light as he stood there studying me. I tried to gather my strength and dashed towards the door, but his fingers clasped firmly around my wrist and pulled me back with such force that I flew straight onto the soft bed again. He took two quick steps and lunged onto the bed, his arms, and feet planted around my body, but not touching me. His mouth was twitching angrily but I could see that he was trying not to hurt me. “I told you, this is where you will stay. And you will learn to obey me, bella. Don’t think for a second that I will not punish you for defying me like this.” I bit my lower lip to keep my tears in as I shook quite visibly on the bed. He stopped hovering and sat up facing me. “Don’t cry, bella. It hurts me.” I am trying not to. “Alex,” my voice was but a whisper, “what do you want from me?” He looked at me with that stone-cold expression again, “I want you to learn, Andrea. So that I am not tempted to punish you.” A small sound escaped my throat before I could stop it. “Punish me?” He just smirked. A traitor tear ran down my cheek as uncontrollable fear gripped my system. “How long will you keep me here?” “Well, that depends on you. The faster you learn to obey, the faster you get to leave this room.” He chuckled inwardly but I didn’t miss it, “Who knows, if you stop being so damn defiant, I might even let you walk out of this house someday.” He hopped off the bed and straightened himself up. “For now, I suggest you take a shower and get changed. I will see you in exactly 20 minutes for breakfast.” With that, he turned on his heel and walked out before I could ask anything else. I distinctly heard a key turn into the lock and a sharp click. Did he just lock me in here? Oh, God! Please let this be a very bad dream. “Meet me in Silence” is a unique tale of a powerful man ruling over the 7 seas while fighting a demon of his own. When he meets a woman at a nightclub, he is unsure of what force pulls him towards her. He cannot let her go. What will she do? How is she supposed to escape? More importantly, will she want to once the force takes over her heart as well? Find out in the first installment of “The Devil in I series.”

Book excerpt: I have a plan...but the city of love has a plan of its own. My late grandfather’s inheritance has two conditions: 1) Not a cent until I’ve traveled Europe for a month. (I mean, it's a sacrifice I’m willing to make.) 2) My estranged sisters and I must travel together. (Sister bonding. Gag.) Oh, and a third condition—our journey starts in Paris. City of Love. The place I’ve dreamed of visiting since I first spotted a postcard of the Eiffel Tower at age six. I’ve seen nearly every English movie about Paris ever made. I’ve studied French for years. I even have a bucket list of romantic experiences I want to have there with the first handsome Parisian I can find. (Seine River tour, anyone?) There’s just one problem. It’s also where my childhood best friend, Hunter, lives. The last time I saw the boy next door, he kissed me on the hood of his beat-up Pontiac and asked me to move to Paris with him. He should have known I couldn’t say yes. With my life crumbling by the minute and all my family problems—I mentioned my sisters, right?—I couldn’t just leave it all behind. Ultimately, it's fear that has kept me rooted in the same small town I’d lived in my entire life. What if Paris isn’t everything I dreamed it would be, after all? And worse—what if being with Hunter is? Nope, definitely safer to leave my dreams in the past. I’ll slip into the city, check off my list, and escape without ever seeing my best friend. I'll get this stupid trip over with, put money in the bank, and live happily ever after without him as was always the plan. Above all, I’ll finally forget that toe-curling kiss between us ever happened at all. Paris, here I come. Three sisters. Three cities. A traveling family saga full of misadventures, laughter, forgiveness, and falling in love.

Book excerpt: Soon to be a major motion picture called "The Right Kind of Wrong," starring Ryan Kwanten from True Blood! "Kelly Palamino's engagingly idiosyncratic voice falls somewhere between On the Road and Bright Lights, Big City. He's the Lone Ranger in love, riding out the rough patches on a Thorazine habit." --People At twenty-nine, Kelly Palamino's a little off-kilter but settled into his career of professional dishwasher. His big, blond, ex-hippie wife has left him for good. So it's with no particular purpose that Kelly positions himself on his porch across the street from an Episcopal church in Jackson, Wyoming, to witness a singular sight: a dark-haired bride in full regalia punting a football over the rectory before turning resolutely to walk down the aisle. It's love at first sight for Kelly, and he'll do absolutely anything and everything to get his girl... "Kelly is full-tilt Gonzo crazy. But crazy people can make good protagonists, particularly when they narrate in their own uniquely whacked-out voice." --Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Tim Sandlin's first novel is impressive...[He] may be compared to Tom Robbins...but Sandlin appears to be more subtle...a fun read." --San Diego Union-Tribune "An anarchic novel that is by turns wryly observant and outrageously slapstick...a novel that shows wit and strength and a sweet sensibility toward the loser in everyone." --Kansas City Star "A potent cocktail mixture of Jack Kerouac, Tom Robbins, and David Lynch topped off with a western twist." --Denver Post

Download or read book The Black and White Apple Orchard Affair written by Ken Kenthomas and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This true, sensually graphic love story took place in 1959 in an Apple Orchard located in a town known as Glen Cove on Long Island, New York. A beautiful, white, Italian, young lady by the name of Nichi fell in love with an African American high school basketball star by the name of Cap. Her sexual obsession with him was so overwhelming, she walked three miles from her home to where he lived in the Orchard on Easter Sunday and unconditionally gave herself to him. Both were virgins, so the sex was so explosive they did not notice Cap's best friend watching. After they were finished and dressed, Cap went for just a few minutes to the edge of the Orchard to check for a clear passage for her to leave. Within that short period of time, best friend Larry physically beat and violently raped her. The girl's parents called the police, and Cap was arrested and charged with violently raping this young lady. Cap took the blame completely by not implicating his friend. They threw him in jail for not only the violent rape but also for the fact the girl was only a young teenage High School student. Even though Cap suffered emotionally, he and this girl could not stop seeing each other and having sex repeatedly right up to the trial date. During those days, the town's white folks and the police did not like black people. The town wanted to string Cap up by his neck and castrate him. Glen Cove became a racial, ticking time bomb.
