Download or read book NME MUSIC Quiz Book written by Rob Dimery and published by Laurence King Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NME Music Quiz Book features around 1,000 questions spanning the 66 years of the cult magazine. A perfect book for music aficionados of all ages. Put your pop and rock knowledge to the test! Rediscover your favourite music and memories, from punk to EDM, the Rolling Stones to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, pop videos to iconic festival headliners, with questions crossing multiple genres and decades. Sourced directly from the NME archive for added authority, the quizzes are supplemented with exclusive quotes and facts from the original magazine. An extract from the book: "We're at something of a watershed in pop history. There's never been so much music readily available, both ancient and cutting–edge modern, and we're consuming it in more ways than ever. But what place is there for albums in a world where fans can simply cherry–pick their favourite tunes and forget the rest? Is it simply the artists' love of the album that keeps it alive? And have we seen the last of the seismic currents that reshape pop into something strange and new? Some might say that new music is too heavily in debt to old music to be truly original: to paraphrase one of the Eighties' most endearing left–field acts, Did Pop Eat Itself? Whatever the truth, it seems like an excellent time to look back on the ground we've covered since rock'n'roll's infancy. From Christmas novelties to the blackest of metal, timeless soundtracks to music's on–off relationship with the Grim Reaper, this quiz book is a celebration of pop's diversity, eccentricity and downright oddness. Within these pages, you'll find brain–teasers on some 70 years of music–making, including sections on major artists and genres, best–selling releases, highly dubious rock–star behaviour, foot–in–mouth disease and the urban legends that we dearly hope are true. Hopefully, it'll feel like a good maze – offering easy progress one moment and head–scratching dead ends the next. So dive in! And if these 62 quizzes inspire you to broaden your own musical radar, all the better."

Download or read book Seven Days in the Art World written by Sarah Thornton and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2008-11-17 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fly-on-the-wall account of the smart and strange subcultures that make, trade, curate, collect, and hype contemporary art. The art market has been booming. Museum attendance is surging. More people than ever call themselves artists. Contemporary art has become a mass entertainment, a luxury good, a job description, and, for some, a kind of alternative religion. In a series of beautifully paced narratives, Sarah Thornton investigates the drama of a Christie's auction, the workings in Takashi Murakami's studios, the elite at the Basel Art Fair, the eccentricities of Artforum magazine, the competition behind an important art prize, life in a notorious art-school seminar, and the wonderland of the Venice Biennale. She reveals the new dynamics of creativity, taste, status, money, and the search for meaning in life. A judicious and juicy account of the institutions that have the power to shape art history, based on hundreds of interviews with high-profile players, Thornton's entertaining ethnography will change the way you look at contemporary culture.

The book "The New Simple and Practical Solar Component Guide" helps you accomplish this by understanding the essentials of building blocks of solar and harnessing solar power. Written by electronic engineers this easy-to-read-and-follow solar components guide demystifies all of the components of a solar power system in a way that anyone without a technical background can understand. The book is useful for a broad audience: technically and non-technically inclined people, beginners and advanced in solar power, and professionals of engineering background. Based on thousand hours of research and experience, the book contains practical solar power information you cannot find and cannot apply by just searching the web. This book shades lights on: - electricity basics related to solar power -solar power system types -solar power system components: -solar panel module types -bypass diodes -blocking diodes -inverters -microinvertes -charge controllers -batteries -fuses -surge protectors/arrestors -disconnects (circuit breakers) -junction (combiner) boxes -cables ... and more. Furthermore, this guide provides you with a serious introduction and practical information to solar power coupled with action-oriented how-to tips and guidelines about selecting, combining and sizing solar components as well. This book, however, is not a complete A-Z guide for sizing a solar power system. Every journey starts with most important first steps and having a solid foundation about solar components is a prerequisite for getting an efficient safe and cost effective solar power system for your home, RV vehicle, boat or business. Without this essential knowledge, every attempt for designing and sizing a solar power system will be either fruitless or contra-productive.

Download or read book Can t Stop Won t Stop written by Jeff Chang and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can't Stop Won't Stop is a powerful cultural and social history of the end of the American century, and a provocative look into the new world that the hip-hop generation created. Forged in the fires of the Bronx and Kingston, Jamaica, hip-hop became the Esperanto of youth rebellion and a generation-defining movement. In a post-civil rights era defined by deindustrialization and globalization, hip-hop crystallized a multiracial, polycultural generation's worldview, and transformed American politics and culture. But that epic story has never been told with this kind of breadth, insight, and style. Based on original interviews with DJs, b-boys, rappers, graffiti writers, activists, and gang members, with unforgettable portraits of many of hip-hop's forebears, founders, and mavericks, including DJ Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, Chuck D, and Ice Cube, Can't Stop Won't Stop chronicles the events, the ideas, the music, and the art that marked the hip-hop generation's rise from the ashes of the 60's into the new millennium.
