Clandestino

Clandestino - $375

16 May, 2013 by rgonzalezr

A definitive biography of Manu Chao, the Che Guevara of world music. A decade ago, Manu Chao’s band, Mano Negra, toured Columbia by train, negotiating with government troops and rebels – an episode described at the time as ‘less like a rock’n’roll tour – more like Napoleon’s retreat from Moscow’. That’s Manu in a nutshell. He does everything differently. He is a multi-million selling artist who prefers sleeping on friends’ floors to five-star hotels, an anti-globalisation activist who hangs out […]

Graham-RockMusicWritings

Dan Graham: Rock/Music Writings – $295

13 May, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Light and Shade- Conversations with Jimmy Page

Light and Shade: Conversations with Jimmy Page - $245

20 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

This “oral autobiography” of Jimmy Page, the intensely private mastermind behind Led Zeppelin—one of the most enduring bands in rock history—is the most complete and revelatory portrait of the legendary guitarist ever published. More than 30 years after disbanding in 1980, Led Zeppelin continues to be celebrated for its artistic achievements, broad musical influence, and commercial success. The band’s notorious exploits have been chronicled in bestselling books; yet none of the individual members of the band has penned a memoir […]

Wagner and the Erotic Impulse

Wagner and the Erotic Impulse - $325

11 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

  Wagner and the Erotic Impulse  Though his image is tarnished today by unrepentant anti-Semitism, Richard Wagner (1813–1883) was better known in the nineteenth century for his provocative musical eroticism. In this illuminating study of the composer and his works, Laurence Dreyfus shows how Wagner’s obsession with sexuality prefigured the composition of operas such as Tannhäuser, Die Walküre, Tristan und Isolde, and Parsifal. Daring to represent erotic stimulation, passionate ecstasy, and the torment of sexual desire, Wagner sparked intense reactions from figures like Baudelaire, Clara Schumann, […]

Grace (180g Vinyl)

Grace (180g Vinyl) - $450

1 March, 2013 by rgonzalezr

180 gram vinyl LP pressing. Resembling at times a soft-sung Robert Plant, Buckley was an intuitive vocalist capable of dizzying arabesques and choir-boy sweetness. He is joined here by a tight band for 10 tracks highlighting his stylistic range–Pearl Jam bluesy on “Eternal Life,” impossibly serene on Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” art-school noisy on “So Real,” Led Zep daring on “Mojo Pin.” Unorthodox, this was the debut of ’94.

borko born to be free

Born to Be Free – $525

10 February, 2013 by rgonzalezr

Music. Record. VINYL FORMAT. Since long before his debut album Celebrating Life, Born to Be Free, offers everything one could ask of Borko. This album manages to be both calm and complex at the same time without having to tread any thin line. Songs like the title song and “The Final Round” are an energetic comment on urban life, while the final song “Sing to the World” is a universal anthem. There is a sense of charismatic vibrancy which juxtaposes perfectly with […]

The Music of the Spheres- Music, Science, and the Natural Order of the Universe

The Music of the Spheres: Music, Science, and the Natural Order of the Universe – $245

12 November, 2012 by rgonzalezr

For centuries, scientists and philosophers believed that the universe was a stately, ordered mechanism, both mathematical and musical. The perceived distances between objects in the sky mirrored (and were mirrored by) the spaces between notes forming chords and scales. The smooth operation of the cosmos created a divine harmony that composers sought to capture and express. Jamie James allows readers to see how this scientific philosophy emerged, how it was shattered by changing views of the universe and the rise […]

The Masters Of Bebop: A Listener’s Guide – $235

7 November, 2012 by rgonzalezr

  Back in the early 1940s, late at night in the clubs of Harlem, a handful of jazz musicians began to experiment with a style that no one had ever heard before. The music was fast, complicated, impossible to play for many of the older musicians—but it soon became the lingua franca of jazz music. They called it bebop, and as the years went by, it became even more popular. Today it reigns as perhaps the best-loved style of jazz […]

Words & Music A History of Pop in the Shape of a City – $285

21 May, 2012 by Carlos Mancera

                        Has pop burnt itself out? Inspired by the video for Kylie Minogue’s hit single ‘Can’t Get You Out of My Head’, acclaimed rock journalist Paul Morley is driving with Kylie towards a virtual city built of sound and ideas in search of the answer. Their journey bridges the various paradoxes of twentieth-century culture, as they encounter a succession of celebrities and geniuses – including Madonna, Kraftwerk, Wittgenstein and […]

Listen to This – $295

16 April, 2012 by rgonzalezr

Alex Ross’s award-winning international bestseller, The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century, has become a contemporary classic, establishing Ross as one of our most popular and acclaimed cultural historians. Listen to This, which takes its title from a beloved 2004 essay in which Ross describes his late-blooming discovery of pop music, showcases the best of his writing from more than a decade at The New Yorker. These pieces, dedicated to classical and popular artists alike, are at once erudite and lively. In a previously unpublished essay, Ross […]

Just kids

Just kids – $245

16 April, 2012 by rgonzalezr

It was the summer Coltrane died, the summer of love and riots, and the summer when a chance encounter in Brooklyn led two young people on a path of art, devotion, and initiation. Patti Smith would evolve as a poet and performer, and Robert Mapplethorpe would direct his highly provocative style toward photography. Bound in innocence and enthusiasm, they traversed the city from Coney Island to Forty-second Street, and eventually to the celebrated round table of Max’s Kansas City, where the […]

DISONANCIAS / INTRODUCCIÓN A LA SOCIOLOGÍA DE LA MÚSICA – $235

15 March, 2012 by rgonzalezr

En “Disonancias” e “Introducción a la sociología de la música” Adorno expone sus consideraciones sociológico-musicales sobre las que desarrolló su filosofía sobre la nueva música. En ambos escritos, el filósofo expone su visión sobre las transformaciones sufridas por la música ante la pujanza de la sociedad industrial y de masas, así como la posición que debe adoptar el músico ante tales cambios.
