Download or read book Off Key written by Kay Dickinson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-03-27 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Off Key, Kay Dickinson offers a compelling study of how certain alliances of music and film are judged aesthetic failures. Based on a fascinating and wide-ranging body of film-music mismatches, and using contemporary reviews and histories of the turn to post-industrialization, the book expands the ways in which the union of the film and music businesses can be understood. Moving beyond the typical understanding of film music that privileges the score, Off Key also incorporates analyses of rock 'n' roll movies, composer biopics, and pop singers crossing over into acting. By doing this, it provides a fuller picture of how two successful entertainment sectors have sought out synergistic strategies, ones whose alleged "failures" have much to tell about the labor practices of the creative industries, as well as our own relationship to them and to work itself. A provocative and politically-conscious look at music-image relations, Off Key will appeal to students and scholars of film music, cinema studies, media studies, cultural studies, and labor history.

Book excerpt: "What in the World Is Happening in the Church?" Different church signs announce traditional service times and contemporary service times. When you enter a church, the majority of the congregation is in jeans, and odds are the pastor is too. Theological issues such as spiritual gifts, worship music, and the role of the church in society have split and fractured God's bride. Great changes are taking place in the church today. Why is this happening? Is there a solution to the many existing problems, or is there a problem at all? The older generation thinks they have been forgotten. The younger generation feels the need for a change. All Christians can find their voice in "Off Key: Harmonizing the Praise and Worship Debate."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the apocalyptic novel Coming from-Key Time, Bogdan Suceava satirizes events in his native Romania since the fateful end of the Ceauseseu regime in 1989. Using three interrelated narratives to illustrate the destructive power of Romanian society's most powerful mythologies, he depicts madness of all kinds---but especially religious beliefs and their perversion by outrageous seets. Here horror and humor reside impossibly in the same time and place, and readers experience the vertigo of living in the middle of a violent historical upheaval --

Book excerpt: I came to Whispering Key for a job. That was all. To show the world Mason Bloom could be more than a small-town doctor living a medium-sized life. Private doctor on a swanky island with a posh resort? Check. But from the moment I set foot on this island, nothing went according to plan. I didn't expect to find the resort falling apart. I didn't expect the people here to be so charming and crazy and welcoming and real. I didn't expect legends about shipwrecks and buried treasure. And I definitely didn't expect Fenn Reardon, the island's incredibly attractive, incredibly infuriating, incredibly male resident tour guide, to become the one person I can't live without. Thirty-five's a bit late for me to realize I'm not straight, though, right? And I have big dreams that won't fit on Whispering Key, anyway-dreams that do not include tying myself to a tiny island stuck in the past or to a man who refuses to think about the future. My head's telling me I have to leave Whispering Key... My heart's telling me there might be treasure on this island after all.

Book excerpt: “An intoxicating blend of music, love, and family from one of the essential writers of the internet generation” (Stephanie Danler). Have you ever wondered what your mother was like before she became your mother, and what she gave up in order to have you? It’s the early days of the new millennium, and Laura has arrived in New York City’s East Village in the hopes of recording her first album. A songwriter with a one-of-a-kind talent, she’s just beginning to book gigs with her beautiful best friend when she falls hard for a troubled but magnetic musician whose star is on the rise. Their time together is stormy and short-lived—but will reverberate for the rest of Laura’s life. Fifteen years later, Laura’s teenage daughter, Marie, is asking questions about her father, questions that Laura does not want to answer. Laura has built a stable life in Brooklyn that bears little resemblance to the one she envisioned when she left Ohio all those years ago, and she’s taken pains to close the door on what was and what might have been. But neither her best friend, now a famous musician who relies on Laura’s songwriting skills, nor her depressed and searching daughter will let her give up on her dreams. “A zippy and profound story of love, loss, heredity, and parenthood (Emma Straub), Perfect Tunes explores the fault lines in our most important relationships, and asks whether dreams deferred can ever be reclaimed. It is a delightful and poignant tale of music and motherhood, ambition and compromise—of life, in all its dissonance and harmony.
