Download or read book Being in a Band written by Anthony Scott and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life can be pretty hum drum at times but just every now and again a light bulb moment can change your life forever. So when our hero bank clerk decides he wants to be like the Gallagher boys, the die is cast and the path to musical stardom is set. ‘Being in a Band’ captures the excitement around the time that Oasis punched their way on to the very top of the international musical globe. Their glorious rise from nowhere made people dream that they too could reach heights that had before seemed unachievable. ‘Being in a Band’ is a semi biographical comedy, flitting from ridiculous incidents to riotous outings. The new band members, ever hopeful that their group ‘Wide Eyed Wonder’ will be picked up by some keen or desperate music executive, embark on a series of eventful gigs that just might get them recognised. If only it was that easy… Anthony Scott’s third novel sees him writing pure comedy. One of his author heroes is Tom Sharpe and there is plenty of that magic here to make you chortle.

Download or read book The Ministry of Nostalgia written by Owen Hatherley and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2016-01-19 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this brilliant polemical rampage, Owen Hatherley shows how our past is being resold in order to defend the indefensible. From the marketing of a "make do and mend" aesthetic to the growing nostalgia for a utopian past that never existed, a cultural distraction scam prevents people grasping the truth of their condition. The Ministry of Nostalgia explodes the creation of a false history: a rewriting of the austerity of the 1940s and 1950s, which saw the development of a welfare state while the nation crawled out of the devastations of war. This period has been recast to explain and offer consolation for the violence of neoliberalism, an ideology dedicated to the privatisation of our common wealth. In coruscating prose-with subjects ranging from Ken Loach's documentaries, Turner Prize-shortlisted video art, London vernacular architecture, and Jamie Oliver's cooking-Hatherley issues a passionate challenge to the injunction to keep calm and carry on.

Download or read book The Last Seat in the House written by John Kane and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2020-01-27 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known as the "Father of Festival Sound," Bill Hanley (b. 1937) made his indelible mark as a sound engineer at the 1969 Woodstock Music and Arts Fair. Hanley is credited with creating the sound of Woodstock, which literally made the massive festival possible. Stories of his on-the-fly solutions resonate as legend among festivalgoers, music lovers, and sound engineers. Since the 1950s his passion for audio has changed the way audiences listen to and technicians approach quality live concert sound. John Kane examines Hanley’s echoing impact on the entire field of sound engineering, that crucial but often-overlooked carrier wave of contemporary music. Hanley’s innovations founded the sound reinforcement industry and launched a new area of technology, rich with clarity and intelligibility. By the early seventies the post-Woodstock festival mass gathering movement collapsed. The music industry shifted, and new sound companies surfaced. After huge financial losses and facing stiff competition, Hanley lost his hold on a business he helped create. By studying both his history during the festivals and his independent business ventures, Kane seeks to present an honest portrayal of Hanley and his acumen and contributions. Since 2011, Kane conducted extensive research, including over one hundred interviews with music legends from the production and performance side of the industry. These carefully selected respondents witnessed Hanley’s expertise at various events and venues like Lyndon B. Johnson’s second inauguration, the Newport Folk/Jazz Festivals, the Beatles' final tour of 1966, the Fillmore East, Madison Square Garden, and more. The Last Seat in the House will intrigue and inform anyone who cares about the modern music industry.
